hi carla,

welcome. i can make a few suggestions.
eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full.
drink at least 8-10 glasses of H2O/day.
don't drink your calories.

watch portion control. don't eat white stuff like rice and bread.
plan for snacks to control hunger.

i don't cook very often but when i do i make enuf to freeze 6-10 meals.
then all i have to do is thaw it out, make a veggie etc.

i'm not perfect by any means. i have weight to lose. i know all the things to do but it's my "head" that i need to readjust to be more successful and that can only come from within.

the first thing i did when i got serious was toss stuff in my freezer and pantry that wasn't good for me. $$$, yes. but necessary. then go shopping to replace it.

eat breakfast. eat protein.
good luck with your efforts.
