    That looks more like the backside of a peach than the front.

    Be careful where you get yours from. You don't want to get a bad batch!

    I have a "take out" or "fast food" addiction too! I try to remind myself that I could be buying ALL of my groceries for the amount my husband and i used to spend on take out. Before we got a better handle on our finances, that was $600 a MONTH! ridiculous.

    trying whats called "once a month cooking" or OAMC - it helps me to have shortcuts prepared ahead of time. I always have ziploc freezer bags of onions, celery, carrots and green pepper. I also like to make a whole chicken in the crock pot and eat some for dinner, shred the rest and freeze for chicken tacos, casserole, etc. Then I use the bones and giblets to make stock which is wonderful and sooooo much better tasting than store bought chicken broth (i'm allergic to MSG).. I also have in my freezer right now, homemade cream soup, specifically, cream of celery, than can be used the way I'd use a can of it (again, MSG in canned soup).

    For me, not a very good cook, it helps to have shortcuts on hand :)

    If you eat out a lot, pick meals carefully. Normally restaurants give a double(or triple) portion so eat half. You should be fine just make good choices. Also you can buy rottissary(?) chicken at stores add a bad of salad and some low cal dressing and voila dinner is served :)

    I hate to say it but the most simple way to stop eating out, is to just stop eating out! Maybe take a cooking class or two as well and make good food at home for 1/3 the price. I hate to sound harsh but this really isnt a problem anyone can help yu with, it's just something you have to do on your own by staying digent and disciplined.

    Honestly, I do very little cooking, but I still eat mostly whole, healthy foods. Last night, I made a sirloin, yams, and broccoli. It took less time than I would have waited for the pizza guy, and was far healthier.

    It's not rocket science, either.

    To bake a potato or yam, all you have to do is wrap it in foil and pop it in the oven.

    A rotisserie chicken, as others have suggested, is awesome.

    Fish and steak can be seared in a pan quickly and easily.

    To steam veggies, all you need to do is pop them in a pot with a steamer basket on the stove for 5 mins.

    Salads come in a bag. Add dressing and go.

    Eat fresh, raw fruits and veggies. Zero cooking.

    Have instant oatmeal and Greek yogurt for breakfast.

    These are actually reall good ideas! I need to use my crock pot and my breadmaker more often.

    I eat out a few times a week. I kind of don't have a choice. So long as you make healthy choices it's fine.
