Everyone always asks about my diet and then they are always shocked and amazed. I work construction and stopped eating processed food as much as possible. I have the same conversation everyday. The burrito lady pulls up, and everyone stops to buy one. I walk to my truck and eat an orange and some dates, maybe some cashews. Everyone is like your not going to get a burrito, that's crazy. We all went out to lunch the other day. Ordered a salad with grilled chicken and it blew everyone's mind. The other superintendent was all "are you Jewish or something."I said nope I've just lost 30 pounds in 6 months. Then he was like "wait really? You lost 30 pounds just by changing what you eat?" I was like yep that's all it took. Also apparently he doesn't know what kosher food is.
It's shocking how many calories are in food and how much exercise it takes just to work that off. The easiest weight to lose is the weight you don't gain.
Working in construction and not getting the burrito is crazy I wouldn't be able to resist. When I used to work in construction there was a pie shop that sold warm meat pies. Everyone would go get one except this one guy who had a banana and apple. We legitimately thought he was gay just because he didnt buy a pie and energy drink every day.
