Welcome! Changing our diets and make good food choices sounds easy, but can be very challenging. It is a tough task to change the way we have been doing things for years. Good luck, and much success. I know you will find lots of encouraging words on this website!!!

I agree with birdie, you should cook your own healthy meals. Maybe pick one day a week to make several nutritional meals and store them in the freezer, so when the family sits down to eat, you can have your own plate of delicious food. It is hard to make others realize the danger in eating high fat, high calorie meals…

Hi, I am kinda new and know what it is like to not have much support at home. You can add me, I try to stay positive but sometimes need some support too :)

the water and tea are an awesome idea. I chew on a few almonds or sunflower kernels. good fat and nuts are supposed to help feel full.

Thanks Billie, it is too bad it took so long for me to "get it" but better late than never right??

I have been smoke free for 2 years, in comparison to dieting, that was the easy part :) Congratulations to you!! 10 lbs left, it must feel incredible!
