Lee, can you have your pants taken in? Is there a taylor shop or maybe even a dry cleaning place that will do that for you? It might be cheaper than getting new pants.

My clothes are getting too big as well. I saved a bunch of clothes from my earlier, smaller days so I have something to wear but in the not too distant future even those will be too big. Clothes are expensive, yes, but I really look forward to getting clothes that fit and look good.

I know the feeling :)
I find now that if i eat fatty stuff that it just doesnt taste as good most of the time as it used to, or i just feel ill.
I also eat less - dunno about you guys or not but i just dont feel like i need it as much
 
yea thats it exactly, its like your taste in food changes. I never was into fatty foods but i can eat some but too much just bothers the old tummy...
 
well it's pretty much grocery time so stuck with normal high fat high carb food.

breakfast--0

lunch--- took some chicken breast wrapped it around some ham and cheese and had some green beans with bacon and some corn with butter.

dinner--- 2 ham and cheese sandwiches

snack ---- a small bowl of rice crispies with 1% milk

snack2--- apple

I dont think im above my calories but i really hate eating like that.
 
Hey Lee,

you did alright and it could have been worse. How often do you grocery shop???

I hope you had a good weekend otherwise.
 
Ahh I hate it when that happens.
Ive taken up buying small carry about meals like a small can of tuna , or a packet of soup mix, and stuff and i leave them places like at work or in the van (things that wont go off etc).
Whenever i forget my lunch at work i dont have to rely on the bakery or other temptations.
 
once a month when i get paid, Then just small stuff here and there every two weeks when she gets paid. Sometimes you miss judge and your out lol. I'm thinking about something like nutrisystem, I know I can cook better than whats in the box but just for convenience I think I would like it. But the 400.00 a month, just not sure about yet.....
 
Ouch! $400 a month seems like a lot for one person's food.
I feed a family of 3 on that and it includes all household goods!
 
yea thats my whole problem with it, thats why i stick to my .99 lean gourmets. A guy will spend 400.00 on a rifle or some tools but food, Never lol.
 
Well my calories are going to be a little light today, It always seems to be after a free day......

Breakfast: 2 servings of rice crispies with 1% milk {120+120+110}

(312 calories)

Snack: 8oz of 1% milk run under the stick blender to make a make shift mousse, with just a little low cal Vermont syrup just to give it a little flavor. {110+20}

(130 calories)

took another look at the nutrisystem thing and its like 290.00 a month but i still dont think i spend that much on food for me..... the rest of the family, yea easy.....
 
Well I cought myself ready to give up today. Sometimes i just get so tired of eating good food when it seems everyone else in the world can have what they want. I always get like this but its odd, It always happens when everything is going well.........
 
Don't give up!!! Eating healthy food sucks but you have to do what you have to do! You've already come sooo far! You're doing a great job don't let fattening food ruin your success!

You have done such a great job at loosing weight, You can get to your goal!!!!

How much $ do you spend on food a month? I bet we can all get together and come up with a grocery list that will take you through the whole month. That way you can get away from that boring same old same... what ya say?;)
 
You know too, a good thing to do... you could designate one day for your "Cook Day". Say on Sunday, cook up some veggies, make a meatloaf, bake some chicken breast seasoned and not... and package and freeze your own meals. You really save alot of $ that way, and NO waste either. And you are eating healthy stuff, that is already proportioned. So convenient too...get the meal out and pop it in the microwave when ever you are ready to eat.
