"New, here, but I just thought I'd throw my two cents in. Weeks where I meal plan are usually weeks where I eat better. I have a really cool little recipe app on my iphone that I use when I need inspiration, and to plan actual meals.…"

"I usually plan on the weekends, but I can't plan out the whole week out just a few days and plan for leftovers on the other days. Good luck!"

Paula commented on Jaydub's blog post Misguided

"I meal plan each week. I bring my lunch to work every day. It is usually a cup of whatever is left over from dinner. Tomorrow it will be a 1 cup of Potato/Rice/Veggie Medley. A low cal/low fat dish I found. I will round it out with snacks like a…"

It seems like ever since I lost my job, I have come unanchored. Off-track. Even though I am taking 2 classes and an internship, I still feel lost.This is most obvious in my meals. Or lack of. The kids have been getting sandwiches for dinner more often than I want to admit. I have been eating little bits of things here and there, without a plan. This is insane, which hasn't hit me until I just read that. What are you doing, Jennifer?I got on the scale this morning and it read 158 and I was like…See More

"Excellent choices! You stopped at ONE cookie and that is awesome. Just think of what it was like before and all those calories you saved yourself. Plus, I bet it felt great afterwards!"

Chris commented on Jaydub's blog post Wow, I Stopped At One Cookie

"Heck no! Quite the accomplishment! And I agree with you on the Chips Ahoy! cookies. They are ok, but personally I'm not a huge fan. Give me a gooey homemade chocolate chip any day! And sometimes I think that as…"

"I think that is awesome. I will try that myself. maybe really focusing on what i am eating and why will help or at least make me aware of what I'm eating and why"

Wow, I Stopped At One Cookie

I have had several days of in-control eating and good food choices. I have been trying to be more "present" with what is going on in my body and my head to be more aware of my choices. I tried "intuitive eating" several years ago and although that approach did not help me to lose any weight, it did give me a better understanding of body signals. Anyways, this evening I saw a little sandwich bag of cookies left over from my daughter's lunch. I toss whatever they don't eat into the fruit bowl I…See More

"Jill, thanks. And having control is a good point - that control is the other side of the anxiety coin. I have to keep reminding myself of that when I start to slip up: focus on what I can control."

"Thank you for sharing your story. What a sucky thing for that principal to do to you. I am glad you are back and have a plan of action. You can start new and move forward from here. You are taking back control of your life…"

Sabrina commented on Jaydub's blog post My Return

"That was really sucks what that principal did to you and I'm sorry that you had to go through that. If I were in that situation I would have ate myself to death and probably would not have continued my workouts so I'm very proud that…"

Jaydub commented on Chris's blog post Weekend

"The scale is always tricky - the information from it can either give you momentum or push you back. I'm with you, though, on using it to keep you in check. I am thrilled that you were not really up as much as it seemed - hooray for water…"

"Thanks, Amy. I realize the details are probably not that important to anyone but me, I just have not been able to "purge" the situation because of the lack of anonymity I have on my personal blog. It felt good to just get the story out.…"

Where am I now?

Well, since my last post I completed my graduate program, found a job, and then had to quit it because we needed to move to a new city 3 hours away for my husband's work. Then I found a new job in my new city.

My weight?

Nearly exactly the same, lol.
