new here..looking for motivation

I hate the it's "so expensive" excuse when it comes to eating healthy. It really isn't expensive to eat healthy if you know how to shop correctly. Things like chicken, ground turkey/beef, along with your veggies (which if you have a farmers market, can be cheaper than a store) aren't as drastically expensive as one would think. You could prep your meals for lunch at work...it's all about how bad you want it though. It's all excuses as to why you can't lose the weight..a lot of people on this website had those excuses too but wanted it bad enough that they fit it into their life. you have to find a way to fit it in to your own. It's possible and hope someone who you can relate to replies but stop with the excuses.

Also, I didn't mean to attack you if it seems that way but I've seen people in difficult situations overcome those situations by stopping all the excuses as to why they can't and how busy their life is.

Hi Tiffany. I get were your coming from on being busy and feeling that health eating is expensive. I recommend getting a Costco card and shopping at the 99 cent store if your in California. Costco is almost everywhere now, not sure about the 99 cent store. But yes I work full time and my commute to work is like a part time job. Buying bulk had helped my meal prep and wallet sooo much. If your little boy likes apples I recommend getting the sliced Apples. Great snack for you and him, they are organic too!
