I feel like you have to be rich to eat healthy! I just got a job and have to wait a bit to get paid. I need to also figure out what I should start buying.
Another note: does anyone know how to eat right when you live in a household of 7 people, 4 kids and 3 adults and your the only one really on a diet? I don't cook all the meals, I acctually cook very few meals, like 3 or 4 a month! How do I count calories when I don't even cook? I really don't have time to cook, my training at my job is super hard and stressful and by time I get home I dont' want to cook! Expecally when there is something already cooked for the rest of the family. I feel like it would be easier if I lived by myself and had to make meals!
Ok that is it for now, i need to get in to bed! Why can't I manage to be in bed before 11!

I'm not a great cook either. We eat a lot of sandwiches and soups. Tuna (in water) is pretty low in calories (points) and its easy to mix with Miracle Whip and celery and onions. I buy a lot of fresh fruits and for a chocolate fix I get Fiber One bars. It's sometimes a sticker shock to buy all fresh fruits and veggies, but the benefits (weight loss, more vitamins, antioxidants) outweigh the costs
A lot of it is portion control.
You can still eat the same foods as them, but you have to train your body to recognize when you're full, which is hard to do when you're used to eating big portions and when everyone else is eating a lot.
Your portions should be closer to the kids, or at least girls, than the parents, but sometimes we think that because we're bigger, we should eat more.
You'll be so proud of yourself when you finally commit!! :)
how did yesterday's calorie counting go? Did you stick to it?
