Back After 4 Years

Hi guys,
I haven't been actively being mindful of my body and my food intake for probably 4 years, now.
4 years ago, I spent an entire year losing about 60 pounds. I had gotten up to a high weight of 217 pounds. Ended up exercising and watching my calories down to a perfectly healthy 161. Afterwards and over the last 4 years, I've just been gaining. I still have about 20 pounds to my previous high weight, but I'd like to work on changing myself again before I get to that point.
So, I wanted to say hello and ask for your advice. My life has changed a lot since I was actively watching my calories.
I currently don't have a full-sized fridge, so I have a hard time buying perishables and keeping them cool enough in my tiny cube fridge.
I have two jobs. I work at a coffee shop and at the University here in town (doing mostly desk work 20ish hours a week).
AND, I have a boyfriend. Which has super changed my eating and drinking habits, as well. Basically, I'm away from my house from 9 in the morning to midnight. Sometimes earlier.
Do any of you have suggestions as far as non-perishables/canned foods that will work for a low-calorie diet and be something I can grab in the morning that will sustain me through my work day (basically zero prep time is what I need and I know that's asking for a lot)?
I'd love for you to add me as a friend. I need some accountability partners. Working at a coffee shop kills me sometimes. So many high calorie things right at my finger tips.
Let me know if any of you have advice. I'm sorry for the book.

Welcome back. You might try doing a prep day of something like chicken breast and then just buying your fresh fruit and veggies a couple days at a time. Happy to help you figure it out. Message me if you'd like.0

Thanks, @ellie0213! I think that's going to be the very best I can do, I agree. Maybe I could use my boyfriend's stove and fridge (sometimes) and that might help, too. I'm at his house all the time anyway.0
