    I have a very demanding 40-50 hr a week job, I teach 2-3 Zumba classes per week, take online classes and am a married Mom of 2 boys. It is very hard to eat right when it is so easy to get fast food. I try to buy my groceries and prep my meals on the weekend. I don't cook for the week but I wash and cut up my veggies and fruit and put them in individual containers to make them easier to grab on the way out the door. The crock pot is also my best friend during the week. :love: If you choose the crock pot steer clear of "cream of" soups.

    Feel free to add me if you'd like

    Feel free to add me also, I am a working mom in a stressful and male dominated career. And made bad choices in the health world let lead to me being at the overweight point I am and trying to get back on track.

    Working ma here! There's never enough hours in the day, huh?

    For me, I try to make my diary entries the day before so I know what to expect the next day and to stick to it.

    Office is horrible for potluck and cakes. I don't decline. I'll pack the sweets and take home and eat it at my pace.

    Surround yourself with live support, not just mfp. Let any binge buddies know you're no longer game.

    Good luck!

    Ohhh, I hear you here! I work about 45 hours a week and my workplace keeps us STOCKED on cookies, cake rolls, crackers, brownies, etc. There is always at least 4 different types of total garbage snack foods sitting out in a room that I walk through at least 30 times a day. For the past year, I've been snacking to my hearts content and it's been HARD to undo that habit.

    Then I come home and chase a toddler until bedtime. Quite the challenge.
