I hear you there, girlfriend! I <3 beer. I try to just stick to beer on weekends.

I understand the enthusiasm but it;s not a reality. Extremes in either direction are not sustainable.

Also, a good thing to do is make large batches of these things soups, burrittos, veggie burgers (I am a vegetarian) and then freezing them... you can calculate the calories before hand and they just pop the healthy, homemade food in the microwave when you need something fast.

First, I think just making the commitment to start is a huge achievment! CONGRATULATIONS! :)

Welcome!! This is a great place to focus on you! :) Congratulations on starting your journey!

Vegetarian for 5 years! :)
