For me, it has been the war against my diet. I move around enough and lift enough where I'm not worried about that, but I went through a very serious depression phase where all I did was eat shit and drink beer, and I ended up putting on 50 lbs over two years. So now it is about controlling what food is in the house.
With poultry, the best meat (IMO), Adobo seasoning becomes your best friend.
Eggs and Oatmeal are an incredible meal to curb hunger, in my experience. Two hard-boiled eggs and two packets of oatmeal will keep me full for hours. And some grocery stores sell pre-shelled hard boiled eggs, and while it costs more than just a carton of eggs, not having to boil or peel them is a huge rage-saver.
I also try to load up on frozen bags of mixed veggies, brocolli, apples and berries, which works since my two young kids are all about fruit also, so that gives me an extra incentive to buy it.
It is just about breaking bad habits and restarting good ones. And it fucking sucks, I know. If I regress for a day or two, I'll get down on myself, but I have to keep at it.
You can get there.
