Lol , goddamn you are optimistic . <| sep |> Get pure boosts if you can ' t afford ultra boost <| sep |> I always see shill accounts respond I agree ! and it always sets off my radar . <| sep |> Hi ! I ' m at UMD so I totally feel you on the college student diet thing . I ' ve lost 13 in the last month and a half and these are some things that helped me . Chicken breast is great and low calorie . Try getting a chicken breast with your salad to add volume and keep it low cal . Avoid dressing as much as possible or use low cal versions , that ' s where all the calories are in salads . if you want a sandwich , eat it on one slice of bread , open faced . that ' s about 90 calories worth of bread saved which adds up in the long run . As far as sweets , I struggled with cookies and ice cream in my dining hall too , so what I ' ve started doing is getting all of my other food and sitting as close to the exit as possible so that it ' s very inconvenient to go back and get a cookie or some other sweet . Not sure how your dining hall is laid out , but positioning yourself close to the exit and away from dessert helped me a lot and might help you ! Drinks wise One standard drink has about 100 calories of just alcohol If you ' re going to mix , mix with diet or very low calorie drinks . If at all possible , limit yourself to only drinking one night a week , it really does add up .
