    looks to me like your taste buds need a reprogramming. spend about a week eating only fruits, veges, lean meats, and whole grains (processed as little as possible, think, brown rice). stock up on these things and show your taste buds what healthy food is. at the end of the week, you will feel amazing. and use that week to plan some healthy dinners for your family. think of easy things to cook. dieting doesn't have to taste bad, but does take some planning. get rid of all the CRAP in your house and don't buy any more!!! it's not a vain pursuit. it's for your health and for the health of your family!

    Sorry, if someone already asked this, but a lot of people are giving you advice without asking you what you want?

    You indicated that you're having trouble staying under your calories. Do feel satisfied? Are you hungry all the time? Have tried eating smaller or larger meals at different times of day to see how your body feels, etc?

    Suggestion: Make your own coffee creamer, using skim milk, FF sweetened condensed milk.

    14oz milk
    1 14oz can of SC milk
    I also add a splash of half & half to this mix
    Add flavoring if you like. To mine I add 1tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp caramel syrup.
    Lower cals and better for you than the store bought crap. Now that I make this, the store bought stuff is not so kind to my GI tract.

    Holy Calories Batman!!! Your lunch is 1000 calories.

    Your wasting your precious calories in junk. Think about it this way, when your condiments add up to more than the meal, there's a problem.

    I think you spent 350 calories in dressing and the salad was 70 calories. If you can't eat salad without the creamy delicious dressing, then don't eat them. I hate salads for that reason and I seldomly eat them.

    I am a pretty big coffee drinker myself. I would suggest that you use fat free half and half instead of the heavy and flavored creamers. If you need/want flavors, I would buy flavored coffee instead. Also stay away from fast food! Chinese and McDonalds are not good for you at all!

    I would also suggest that you befriend some people on here! I have found that by making friends on here it has made me more accountable on what I am putting in my mouth! Every day when I close my day my MFP friends see it and comment both good and bad...but it keeps my butt in check on a daily basis. (and even the "bad" is just a reminder that we are human and slip up from time to fime - they offer honesty and motivation) In my opinion...the support system in the friends you make here makes a HUGE difference!

    10 crab rangoon pretty much answers your question. You need to completely shift your way of thinking with food in my opinion. It's not fun and it takes time but when you're in the right mindset you'll have 2 crab rangoon instead of 10.

    You are blowing your calories on empty foods: Crunchy peanut bar, coffee creamer, dressing, french fries, syrup, chocolate chip cookies, pizza, bread sticks, and cake.
    You need to look at whole foods not these packaged waste of calories. The 300 calories you ate in cookies you could have had a well balanced meal of chicken and veggies.
    Try checking out the recipe section of the message boards people post a lot of healthy quick recipes.

    "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

    It's a long but worthwhile read, though summed up pretty nicely in that quote.

    anyone want to review my diary and see what i need to do different, i'm barely staying under my calories

    You are eating chinese which has pushed you way, way over your sodium, MacDonalds, Cakes, pizza......

    Once in a while is fine, but you are doing something everyday, you need to completely review your meals.

    You know, this is some of the best advice I've ever heard. If you don't like salads without heavy, calorie-laden salad dressings, you don't like salad. That's okay. We don't all like the same things. But if you don't like them, don't eat them. A lot of us are brainwashed into thinking we MUST eat salads if we want to lose weight, but if you don't like it, find other veggies you do like.

    I found I just didn't like the traditional lettuce salads. I do like broccoli slaw, mixed with shredded carrots. It's just another kind of salad.

    OOhhh. I didn't see the 10 crab rangoon. 10? Really? I lost over 90 pounds before I even found MFP just by eating normal portions. I discovered that I had been eating more than one portion of everything without realizing it. Once I started eating one portion at a time, I lost weight without anything else. 10 crab rangoon isn't one portion. Six is an appetizer for three people. I'm a firm believer you can eat anything you like, you just can't eat unlimited quantities of anything you like. The higher in calories it is, the less of it you can eat.
