([url]http://gainingcontrolovereating.blogspot.com [/url]) I'm trying to focus on control over mindless eating. I did good for the first 4-5 days, and then slid backwards. But I'm going to get back on track! Good luck. If I had the right answers, I wouldn’t have started my own dieting blog this year. ([url]http://gainingcontrolovereating.blogspot.com [/url])

I would have loved to continue it (yum and its gets me away from my desk), but I decided to bring in my lunch (meat over brown rice) and a homemade snack most days so that I could take the lunch hour and go to the gym. I've dropped 5 pounds last month and I've saved quite a bit of money. Also make sure that your afternoon snack doesn't have a lot of simple sugars. My trainer suggested an odd one - canned beans (kidney, garbanzo, black eyed pea) tossed with tuna. So far its been working. I used to go out and eat restaurant lunches every workday.

I can't say the grocery bill is lower or higher, it probably varies, but you definitely don't want to eat as much. I don't buy into every conspiracy theory about everything, but I do believe that some of the additives in pre-packaged food are there to make you want to eat more - even if it's just additional sodium! I eat a handful or two of unprocessed whole cashews and am satisfied. I eat two handfuls of cashews from the planters jar and just want to eat two more handfuls....
