struggling with 1500 calories, need advice please !

i just started a deficit of 1500 calories but i’m struggling to keep to it. it’s very frustrating!! i’m eating lots of protein, but i just started a new job and im always STARVING when i get home. i still live with my family so i eat dinner on their time. idk guys it’s really not even that low of a number but i just need help and i really struggle w food noise and an ED past. i haven’t hit that goal ONCE it’s usually 1600,1700, and once 1800. im not gonna be hard on myself bc of my past; i never want to have a harmful mental ED cycle ever again! i need to find balance between discipline and grace. i also go to the gym 3-4x a week and average 6,000 steps a a day. (that’s good for me! i’m trying to add even more steps a day but it’s difficult and i’m figuring it out)
