Will look into this. Now to get over this cold I have now.

Thank you all. I know I have to do something and fast. Been having weird feelings/aches that come and go over the past few weeks. Just not right. Would like to also find out what overnight/morning congestion is coming from to get a good night sleep and not be winded standing in the shower. Maybe some inflammation/allergic…

The foods I do eat now. Takeout dining out - Chicken/veal/shrimp (breaded) Parmesan and pasta - Any pasta with sauce - Mexican enchiladas, chips/salsa rice and beans - Pizza - Fresh Deli sandwiches (not cold cuts at home) lunches - Steak here and there - Chinese takeout (boneless ribs, lomein) - Fast food here and there.…

Another example. Tonight we will not be home from 4 until 10. That means takeout or fast food crap. If I cooked steaks or chicken at noon. Put in the fridge they will be cardboard at 10. What dry foods (healthy) would you stock up on that could be easily cooked in a few minutes when I am always on the run, not pasta as…

I do have a smoker and grill but usually don’t have time to use it. Need a few to many hours to smoke some meat. Do not like leftovers for the most part as the meat is dried out the next day. So was thinking maybe prepackaged may be better. Cooking a bunch of chicken or steak then freezing portions to reheat in the…

Anyone have success with pre packaged meals? What are some ideas for great tasting meals that could satisfy me/relieve anxiety of counting/weighing/ worrying how to make it instead of ordering take out? I am guessing my back and breathing issues are from way too overweight. Drs will not say either way after all the cardio,…

Thank toy. I just came home to avoid fast food. Nothing in the house healthy or remotely ready to eat. So you know what. I am off to find fast foods. I can not do this. I don’t know why I vented here and should t have . Thank you for your suggestions. I’ll face inevitable and up the life insurance . At this rate 53 won’t…

I also do not think I could exercise with my current state. Breathing is horrible. Out of breath walking 10’ft. Back hurts when standing/walking.

I know why I am overweight and unhealthy. Due to self hate, stress, depression, and time. What I don’t know is how to change. And permanently. It’s all mental. I’ve become so jaded I don’t know where to begin to cook at home to make a healthy meal that at least satisfies me to get going. Thinking about cooking grilled…

And thank you all for the replies. I am reading and trying to figure out how to incorporate any change

For the most part I don’t eat sweets. Don’t mind water, 0 carb soda here and there. I’ve cut way back on beer to a few once in a while but alcohol in general is vodka/soda or bourbon with ice. So while alcohol is still there it’s the lesser of the evils as far as calories goes. It’s finding a way to have food and make food…

Not sure what you mean? Overweight apparently is easy since it’s natural.

I agree I must quit drinking and doing something. drinking for stress relief has been the only choice. Bad food choices as well. My commute is full of traffic (1.5-2hrs in traffic vs 30 min with no traffic) often I find waiting it out at the local place near my office for a few drinks while traffic thins out. Making my own…
