I totally get it. Most of my adult life I've been going from diet to diet trying to figure out what I could eliminate that would make me feel great and lose weight. I've cut gluten, cut meats, cut all animal products, cut carbs (more than once because I'm apparently a slow learner) and after all that I've come to realize the only thing I need to cut to lose weight is...,wait for it....calories! Lol. Even lost 15lbs then my inner fat girl threw a fit and I quit and gained 17! Geez! Here I am again down 9 on the way to 30-40 total pounds I want to drop;)2

I can't guess on portion sizes. Every time I do I just gain. I've realized that counting calories is the only way to lose the weight. I'm good with that.2

@Fivefootcaloriecounter . welcome back
we have been there and feel your pain.
At the end, there is no "magic pill" that will keep weight down. It is just-sigh- calorie counting.
Patience and persistence win the race
Good luck in your healthy journey0
