well today i didn't do so good at lunch. i ate a whole foot long meatball marinara with cheese. it was so flippin' awesome. i knew i should have stopped but i was hungry. i had cereal for breakfast at 730am then a kashi go lean bar for a snack around 10am. right now i'm not hungry at all, which by now i would be having a snack again. lunch is normally at 12noon. though today we ate a little later. the sandwich will hold me over until i figure out what i am going to eat tonight for dinner. i have leftovers from my fajitas i had on monday night. i'll probably do that. i really need to get to the grocery to get fruits and veggies. i just hate it that they go bad before i get around to eating them. emoticon emoticon
i hate living alone and not having anyone else to cook for. i was raised in a family of 5 and learned to cook for a big family who loved to eat. and now here i am a single gal living alone with no one to cook for. it is really hard to cook for one. if i make a true meal from a recipe it is usually for 4 or more servings. i don't want that much leftovers in my fridge. i would probably eat it for a couple of days then throw away the rest and that's just throwing away money. i know that they are cookbooks out there for my situtation but i haven't gotten around to buying one. i love to cook and am trying to write my own(though i haven't even thought about it in a very long while which makes me sad). emoticon
last night on my way to my second job i stopped at wendy's and for a kids meal (cheeseburger fries and chocolate milk). the only thing i enjoyed was the milk. the burger and fries tasted disgusting. looking back over the last couple of weeks i haven't had fast food in a while and that is a good thing. you don't realize how gross the food is until you haven't eaten it for awhile.

    Growing up in a big family did take its toll on us, didn't it?
Have you thought about freezing the leftovers and then taking those for lunches/dinner later? That's what I did back in the day and still do. There's nothing wrong with treating yourself once in a while - just remember to track your food so you know what you're putting in your body and eat accordingly. That's another benefit to taking meals to work for lunch - you already know how much you're eating, size and calorie wise.

    Yea, those meatball subs are yummy!

you might try cutting the recipe in half (or more), that might help on being able to cook without too many leftovers. I know that use to work for me.

Good luck!
