I take a salad for lunch at work each day as well. The crock pot is a great thing, I need to get some more recipes, I just got a new one for Christmas!!!<br /><br />I would say that my biggest weakness right now is chips, my boyfriend works at Frito Lay and I love it when he brings chips home but I try to make him only bring the healthy kinds!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475894996684337257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535369060577979748.post-1837626097839158232010-01-20T09:34:51.126-08:002010-01-20T09:34:51.126-08:00well, sometimes it depends on the kinds of foods y...well, sometimes it depends on the kinds of foods you're eating at home. if you're buying things that are high in fats, sugars, and sodium you probably aren't helping yourself. but i don't really know your diet. <br /><br />after my dad was diagnosed with cancer, he cut his red meat consumption way down. when i'm home from school we eat dinners with eggplant, tuna, salmon, chicken, turkey, pork, etc. But it's not fried - we grill it on the BBQ or cook it in the crock pot. <br /><br />we steam a lot of our vegetables, or we cook those on the BBQ as well. cucumber and yellow squash are really good grilled. <br /><br />we also eat a lot of salads with our dinners. i like to put craisins in my salad to give it a little something sweet. <br /><br />anyway, that's just my two cents. i hope you can figure something out. :)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175106773453711033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535369060577979748.post-90729683563994495552010-01-19T11:45:08.047-08:002010-01-19T11:45:08.047-08:00Some of my friends have been successful with weigh...Some of my friends have been successful with weight loss by cutting sugars, reducing carbs and salt and staying away from processed foods. Being veggie hasn't necessarily helped my weight but has helped with other things. We should swap emails so we can share recipes.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14596932080900939808noreply@blogger.com
