I dont have will power either. Just told DH that if there is not food for me at Easter dinner, Im not going to his mother's.

YOu need to eat on plan to keep cravings undercontrol. Cravings are a problem, so have a plan to deal with them. an ounce of high fat nuts, 2 tablespoons peanut butter. When you get back on plan, the cravings will quit, or at least slow way down.

Yes, I put my self and my health FIRST. You need to commit to yourself. You are worth it. Can you ask that others in the house not comment on your food choices?? If they love you, ask that they support you.

Can you control what foods go on your plate? I mean make the food you want and not depend on another person in the house for your meals???

THe easiest way to start IMO is just eat low carb stuff. If you are hungry eat more protein.

Buy--A large box of greens organic spring mix is 10 carbs, for 16 ounces. Plan on eating 1/2 box a day.Buy every few days as they dont keep.

Buy 2 dressings. ----- look for 1 carb for 2T serving. Like Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. If you like ITalien or Ceasers, again look for 1 carb per 2 tablespoons.

Optional- buy small glass bottle of extra virgin olive oil
optional--buy Bragg's UNpasturized apple cider vinegar
optional--buy whole mushrooms and 1 bunch scallions.

THese give a little change to your greens. Cut one scallion into peices, and/or 1 mushroom and put in your salad.

FOr a caesar type dressing, drizzle on extra olive oil, and 2 teaspoons vinegar.

Can you use the oven??? Hopefully you can or give it a try.

Buy chicken thighs, chicken breasts, and pork chops.

Use a metal pan with edges to keep in the juices. Like a 9 x 13 cake pan. Put chicken thighs in pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper or a seasoning of your choice, watch for sugar, bake 350 for 60 minutes. Use a hot pad or mitt to remove HOT pan to area safe for heat--on top of a hand towel if need be. Remove 1 thigh and cut open. Look at the juices as they pour out---will run clear. All chicken must be cooked until juices run clear-- so learn what this looks like.

Put other meat into freezer with your name on the package.

In my house my kids often eat dinner for breakfast. So to keep this simple, for 3 meals eat a salad and 1-2 pices of cooked meat.

As you practice cooking, your menu will widen.

ALso you can eat at Mcdonalds IF IF IF you can limit yourself to the burgers and a diet soda or a black coffee. Toss the buns and eat the burger. You might want 2-3 double burgers. THey also have salads. just bring yours with you.

Salads do need some oil to absorb the fat-saluable vitamins.

Can you do this?

Other options--

Buy sliced roasted beef at the deli and eat with mustard, and or cheese.
Buy sliced cheese like provolone or swiss at the deli.

Buy a bunch of celery. ANd Philadelphia cream cheese. THe block kind only.

Have cheese filled celery for a snack.

Can you do this?
I know not every one cooks. ANd if you depend on another to provide the meals and wont do what you need, THen roll up your sleeves and learn. In my family, my brother cooks, my husband cooks and his brothers and dad as well as the wives and the kids. ANyone can cook with some practice!!!

Keep meat cold. keep fresh meat in frig or freezer. Put cooked meat in refrigerator, on a plate covered with plastic wrap.

Wash everything raw meat touches. Never use utensil for raw meat and then for another food.

You can do this.

Also salads are available at most grocery stores. Keep to the greens for now and only a few extras like radishes, celery, hard cheeses. NO soft cheeses, no yogurts. ANd use your own slad dressing as these at the grocery are LOADED with sugar.
