Bored Snacking- Especially if there are chips, granola bars, or those 150 snack packs. I have learned that for me to break this habit- I have to remove the food from the house. No matter how much I want them- I can't bring them in otherwise events like lastnight and today will happen. My husband bought a bag of chips (per…

Volunteer at a local Animal Shelter and house cleaner, dust killer, cat feeder, and a wife.

390 :sick: :noway:

So, it seems money and clothing are a good option to put down. Thank you ladies. Any other suggestions?

... you walk into a fight that changes the whole mood of the thread. : /

Your husband's alarm goes off at 2am even though he has not been home for a whole week and it never went off any other day.

I gave up alcohol years ago- but I won't give up chocolate. Maybe reduce the amount I have, but I'll never give it up.

damifogg- you just reminded me that I have two cans of tuna and some syrup as well. :D Thanks everybody for the help.

Thank you so much for linking me here. C: This is a bump so I can read all this when I have time.

Thank you for the ideas! @ebgbjo: I know EXACTLY how you feel. We have been doing that since we've been together. We could easily spend $300 for about 9-11 days as well and always run out of something or forget things. Even though I write out lists and plan meals- it never lasted. So, I'm working on not only fixing portion…

@jocelyne1967: Thank you for your concern about the healthy diet. @everybody else who also feels the need to mention that this may not be enough for a healthy diet: We're doing this because we have a major bill that needs to be paid off before January 20th, 2012. This is temporary and it isn't about cutting cals or…

OH MY GOSH- that last line made me laugh so hard I snorted. Thaaaanks! Anyways- looks like everybody has said what I was going to. Good luck!

Everybody is giving really great ideas. Again, thank you so much. A quick thank you to everybody who posted a recipe, a link to a site for recipes (and other things), meals, shopping lists- and just general information! To answer a few questions and reply to some- @ CoraGregoryCP: My husband works on the road- the only…

LorinaLynn, I laughed so hard that the Hot Pockets comment. I know the feeling! Thank you for these great suggestions and meal ideas.

Some other things I would like to add- I really appreciate all this help, please, please keep all these ideas coming and if you can relink this so your MFP friends can help me that would be great! I am very interested in learning more about how people freeze entire meals ahead of time. I’m trying to get into portion…

WOW- Thank you so much greenpianokey! This is a perfect example of things I am looking for!

Wow- you all are extremely helpful! cjangelo, I’d be really interested in this recipe if you want to send it to me. Thank you. MaraDiaz, thanks for the chipotle peppers suggestion! <3 Sassylilmama- Great idea using meat as the side instead of the main dish. My husband may not like it but I do! Local Stores: Sam’s Club (I…

About ten years or more ago I found myself bonding with a man in Town Square because of a mutal enemy. This guy and I had mutal friends but never really liked each other for all sorts of reasons. Once we got rid of our enemy there wasn't really much more to do but play StarCraft and Diablo II LoD. When that became boring…

I gain 5lbs over the Thanksgiving Holiday. On Thanksgiving I did not track anything- gave myself a free day to not track, but I did not splurge either. It's the only holiday our family celebrates, so... looking back maybe I should have endulged just a little more. Back on track though and things seem to be going better.…

I echo what everyone is already saying- the situation needs to be addressed. Whether you post it directly to them, or a status update- it may cause some problems. However, if they take offense to you trying to protect their child... it is because nobody likes to be called out on bad parenting. I would not only say…

Several of the things posted here have happen to me at all ages of my life. The most recent was right before I found MFP. I was sitting in the passenger seat next to my husband while waiting in the drive-thru of Burger King. A car full of guys drove by and shouted something along the lines of - Order a salad you fat as*.I…

My husband and I are in charge of bringing the snacks, drinks, and desserts.

Technically, it's just the pizza sauce. So, if you take away the sauce it's not a veggie anymore. Either way- it's still a bonehead move.

That was a very intense staring contest!

I really love the android app as well! I would have never found MFP without it. I hear a lot about P90X- I'd like to try it out but I can not seem to find it anywhere. Welcome & good luck on taking everything to the next level!

Thanks so much- I need all the butt kicking and support possible! Request will be sent very shortly! <3

Welcome! MFP is a really great site, hopefully you love it just as much as we all do.

Yes! We can for sure do this! I am also on a long journey and it'd be great to have more people on this adventure. Sending a request soon. C:

My goodness- I agree with the other two who posted, this was hard to read. I have only been in a verbally and mentally abusive situation but I could feel your pain as I read your post. I understand what it is like to eat the pain away. I am so very happy you've found MFP and I hope that you find everything you are looking…

Thank you, bayleygirl1983! It's an old name that my sister calls me. I'm glad it made somebody laugh. There have been times where I just pretend not to hear people when they ask me- but perhaps next time I shall just say, "Yesterday!" to remind myself that I need to keep going and lose this weight. I'd love you add you…
