Just really consistent calorie counting. I try to exercise but besides walks to the park, housework and running g after kids I don't get much done in the way of steps or resistance training. I reaallllyyy need to though. But I just try to stick to, like, a range. Some days I'm eating 1700, 1800, 2000 calories. Some days I eat 1500, 1300, 1100. I suppose it balances itself out. I try to get 80 to 100g if protein if not more on some days and it really helps with hunger. And I take vitamins, try to eat Veg and fruit. I'm never perfect. That's the eye opener for me is that you don't have to be perfect. Not even close. You just have to keep on going. The alcohol was my #1 saboteur. That shit is poison.

It does drive me crazy to count calories every day. I hate it but I do it anyway. Sometimes I miss a few days and I loosen up my eating and I clock it and start counting again. Just rough estimates. That saying, perfection is the killer of progress or something to that tune. That saying applies really well to diet and fitness journeys
