Eliminating food really boils down to choice. I've easily cut soda, frozen meals and chips, because they're not worth it to me, and I do not miss them.

The first thing I cut was soda. It was easy, because I've never had a strong attachment, and it was a choice I'm happy to maintain. Since joining MFP, I've easily cut chips and frozen meals, because I want to. Again, if I wanted to eat these types of foods I would, but for me, it is well worth eliminating them. Like you,…

I'm in, please; this will be my first MFP challenge and second challenge ever. "Re-examine all that you have been told... dismiss that which insults your soul." Walt Whitman

When I eat a larger and more nutritious breakfast and lunch, I'm happy with an afternoon snack, dinner and maybe an evening snack. If I do not start the first half of my day with enough food, I typically eat much more and less consciously all through the afternoon/evening and exceed my caloric goal. Good luck finding what…

I am mildly sick and cannot go into work (e.g. immunocompromised persons). I'm grateful I have this extra time for myself and to work on a home business project. I didn't drink coffee for a week, then tried it black yesterday; I'm excited and grateful that I enjoy it!

Today I am grateful for my health and to see my hard work pay off; it's very rewarding. I appreciate being able to read all of the entries here; it is inspiring.

I also like bulgur and couscous as well. To me there is a distinct yet mild flavor. It is nutty, but there is something else to it, and I absolutely love it. Tabbouleh is my favorite way to eat it. So easy, filling and tasty; you can mix it up easily. I've also enjoyed it in stuffed peppers, burritos, with various Indian…

Today I am grateful. I have so many highlights from my 13hr shift today. I appreciate being able to get outside while working. I'm grateful the kids asked to partake in 'kid yoga'. It is a valuable treat for all involved.

Today I am grateful for my pantry which will help me get through a long shift at work. I am grateful to be able to explore nature a bit while working and that I can remain pretty active the majority of the time. I am grateful for my cats. I want to yell at one for his sad and disruptive meows; instead I'm going to pet him…

I'm grateful for my access to water and wholesome food to prepare. I'm so grateful for my job that continually tries my mindfulness and patience, and motivates me to be creative and active.

I did well yesterday by logging intake, exercising for over an hour, consuming 144 oz of water and 16 oz of green tea, no coffee. I did not meet my protein goal, but I was close and picked up various protein rich foods that I really like. Just for today, I will: 1. Meditate 2. Eat an energizing breakfast 3. Eat more at…

Thank you for posting this thread! I will be soaking oats tonight and trying a savory variation later this week. Years ago, I ate oatmeal with heaps of brown sugar; my preferences slowly changed. I cook steel cut oats on the stove. This morning, I surprised myself by enjoying oats with a banana and cinnamon, nothing else.…

If you ever have some time for prep, I suggest: -muffins -breakfast burritos -baked oatmeal Muffins freeze very well and, surprisingly, you can eat them straight out of the freezer or let them sit. Breakfast burritos freeze well, too, and typically pack a lot of protein. Baked oatmeal is easy but does take 45-60 minutes to…
