I too refuse to deny myself and take everything in moderation. I also look for lower calorie alternatives to what I usually that's sweet. I've been drinking more water and less sugary juices. Really minimized my intake of red meat and fried food. I am now eating more grilled and baked meats, fish and even grilled fruit (pineapples are the best)

I don't like to cook either. And previously I would just eat some ready-to-eat food for dinner and be done with it. Sometimes even skip it! Too lazy isn't? Now I am making efforts to cook dinner and make a little extra which I pack for the next day's lunch, esp if its pasta or quinoa. I am not being very consistent with this but now I am pushing myself to do this at least 3-4 days a week.
Having lunch at my office cafeteria is digging too big a hole in my pocket and my daily calorie allowance :P So all the more motivation now On the days when I eat in the cafeteria, I try to stick with soups and salads (with chicken/turkey) and an occasional grilled-fish or curry chicken and rice. No fried food, no sugary stuff.

It's interesting to me that non of us likes to cook... To me it's an inconvenience being a single female, no kids... Why bother!
I also don't deprive myself of foods I enjoy. When I first began this journey I thought I had to because I had poor control over how much I ate of those foods at one time, ie a pint of ice cream instead of a 1/4 of that. However, since November 2011, I have really been working on my "mind" and have since gotten a much better grip on what I can have in my house without devouring it all at one sitting! So, nothing is off limits, its just how often I eat it and how much when I do.

As far as lunches, my job requires me to be in my car about 75% of the time and the other times I am in a situation with no access to a refrigerator or microwave. I frequent a local convenient store almost everyday and get the same thing, almost everyday, egg white, a slice of cheese on a toasted bagel. I know it could be healthier but it could be much worse. But it's quick and convenient and it satisfies me. I know I should vary my diet not just our of bordem but for nutrition purposes, too...

I get home late, around 9:15 pm, after work and the gym, so i dont usually have dinner until 9:30 at night, or later! I know, it stinks!.... So, I am in no mode to begin cooking. So dinner for me is microwaveable dinner such as Barbara's Kitchen, Amy's lite & leans (I'm largely a vegetarian but will eat seafood on occasion), lean cuisine, Kashi frozen meals and then I always add a fresh vegetable such as STEAMED spinach, green beans, broccoli, squash, etc. I love fresh veggies.

I also belong to spark people.com. They have some really good sounding and quick recipes. I also go directly to food websites. There is one for Rotel tomatoes that have some fantastic sounding/quick recipes. I even went as far as buying most of the ingredients for a few of them because they sounded so good.. Only to kid myself thinking I would make them!
