these are the days i LOVE living in the sticks - "convenience" food really isn't convenient so i cave and eat a bit healthier at home (not perfect, but better than i'd do if i was out!

have you thought about trying to find alternatives you can make at home that fix the craving for junk without being AS bad? i have potato wedges in the freezer all the time - the oven fry ones - LOVE them - they meet the "chip" craving, but aren't soaked in oil...

ummm, make sure you have stuff in the house to substitute for other junky cravings - i know it's cheaper to buy in bulk when getting things like Doritos (which i've gone off since being pg!), but maybe buy smaller packets. i'm someone who dreads opening a packet cos i know i'll eat it all, so i figure spending a little more on getting smaller packets means i don't eat it all at once.

find another drink that you can substitute for V (though i know most things can't replace V!) - it's hard, but better to be drinking cordial or iced tea than something heavily loaded with caffeine


i can't go the "fully healthy" option of salads and stuff cos they do nothing for me. i can't have a salad without tomato and tomato gives me heartburn and makes reflux/morning sickness worse - so i have just changed things to mean i'm meeting a lor of my needs without being super unhealthy. i DO cave and have KFC if i go shopping though - just the chippies - i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed them!
