I know how you feel! I'm a bored eater too, and I love to eat. And I can certainly understand the food budget! How often do you eat out? Do you grab something (candy bar, chips, my personal favorite, taquitos) whenever you stop at the gas station? One thing I found out is that my home food budget has gone up, cutting out fast food and junk food from convenience stores has about evened out. Also, I shop the ads, so when the local grocery store has marinated chicken breasts for a buck, or veggies on sale, I buy a ton of them and then freeze them for later use. I try to take one day a week, and cook up my lunches and dinners for the week in advance. This way I'm not having to measure everything every day. Also, get the whole family involved! Even little kids can eat healthier, and they will be more willing to follow along if they see dad doing the same thing! And get a good support group, whether it's here online, or a group near your home. The journey to a healthier you is a lot easier if you know there are others taking it with you! Good luck, and feel free to add me as a friend!
