Lifestyle Changes - Can I still Love food....

I just added this app to my iphone and think its a great tool to use to understand what I am consuming.

I've struggled with losing weight and more importantly with keeping it off and maintaining a lifestyle that promotes a healthy weight for the last twenty years starting in my teens.

I recently got married to man that does not love food or sweets. He eats one snack and one meal a day and a few cups of tea and maintains his weight with this. His snack is generally junk food and the meal is generally at 8:30-9pm.

I on the other hand, do not skip meals, like to cook and eat different types of food and have a major sweet tooth. My meals are generally balanced, but I will binge eat depending on my mood and my last meal used to be done before 7pm.

So with marriage I am trying to figure out how to fit my world into his. At this point, I've been eating really late, which is contributing to my weight gain as well.

At this point I don't know what changes I should make to my lifestyle and how to remain true to that lifestyle.

The idea of a good lifestyle in my mind is that I have smaller portions in balanced meals, eat more vegetables, meditate to deal with stress, do yoga and go for walks every other day for exercise, sleep 8 hours a day. With the time I have available, I am not sure how I can accomplish this.

This past week, I have already not done any exercise, not found time to meditate, slept approximately 6 hours a day and then on the weekend went to a north indian buffet on Saturday (business) and south indian buffet on Sunday for lunch. Since I over ate, I ended up skipping meals, no breakfast on both days and no dinner on Sunday.

I love to cook and eat a variety of foods from different cultures. I cook generally pretty healthy food, but with all the time required for planning, and because I like variety, I often do not have time to make these meals. I feel that my love of food and the variety of food is taking up too much time and therefore I'm sabotaging my lifestyle changes required for successful weightloss.

Any ideas or suggestions from anyone?

Thanks,
Rupinder
