eat more healthy

healthy eating would be alot easier for me if i didn’t live in a shared house….my boyfriend and i have been spending hundreds of dollars on food for the house and no body else buys any so we always go out to eat, instead of supporting everyone else!!

My problem is that I have such a hectic schedule that I am always eating on the run. I work 3 part time jobs, go to school full time,and take care of a family, so when I am running between class or work I stop and grab anything that I can eat on the run. Most of the times I eat fast food and I am sick of it.

I am keeping a record of what I am eating but at the same time I haven’t been consistent with it. Wednesday, I really didn’t have a set meal. I was cleaning my room. I haven’t touched any sweets this week; even when there is ice cream in the house. I haven’t bought any either. Yesterday I fixed vegetables to take to work. I plan on vegging out two to three times a week. And I am going to spend less time eating out. I will eat out only when I have an assignment. I need to go grocery shopping. And that is the plan.

I have been writing in my journal of the activities that I am doing. One of them involves eating. Yesterday I was tempted to get fries at McDonalds but I decided against it. I had lunch at Park Delux Restaurant in Bethesda and had herb roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and asparagus. I wanted to get a sandwich but if I ordered it, I will end up getting fries as usual. I made the decision to not eat sweets. Now I am adding to the list of what not to eat—French fries. As much as I love fries, they have to take a back seat.

and bought a bunch of apples. I now have, in my fridge, one of every kind the store offered. It’s a start.

I seriously need to get back into cooking. For awhile in college, and right after, I was a good little vegetarian health nut and did a lot of cooking. I totally lost the habit, though… now I’m eating meat again and never really learned to cook it well… and the rest of my cooking skills are pretty rusty, too- where they aren’t nonexistent completely!

Thankfully, I’ve been learning some basics the last few weeks…

I think what’s more important to me than loosing weight is being healthy. Part of becoming healthy is changing my eating-habits.

come on i know we are all guilty of this one. Say what were goin to eat and do the exact opposite. I cant help it i love chocolate im a chocoholic. lets see maybe if i gradually eat something healthy once a day, my once a day will turn into two, three, four times a day. haha whatdo u think right strategy or not?

Well, it’s not the complete ideal way to go but I have been doing a low carb diet. I am not counting carbs or anything but am eating more fruits & veggies, even though there are carbs in them. I’ve lost over 10 lbs so far as well.

I weigh 95 pounds! but im not anorexic! I have a high metabalisim (sp?)! And im always hungry!! I eat alot though!
Help me!!!!
