I have taken a great liking to left overs. For some people that is no big deal, but I used to pretty much throw everything out. I'm not proud of how wasteful we were as a family, but the truth is even when I packed it up with the intention of reheating it, a week later I would be tossing the food in the garbage and scrubbing a ton of Tupperware.
These days I save everything I can. I find that having an already prepared meal to use makes things a lot simpler and than I am only focusing my energy to come up with one unique idea a day. The nice part is sometimes I over cook so I can have a few different selections to choose from.
Today I had left over turkey and vegetables. I liked my vegetables so well that I ended up saving more of that turkey for another day. I find it is helpful to have a good lunch. I used to eat not very scheduled meals and found myself snacking a ton through out the day. It was always terrible snacks as well, think m&ms, chips, or any other terrible snack you can think of. This helps me to not want to snack so badly and if I do I will grab a handful of raisins or cashews. In the evenings I will often have popcorn for a snack but I am truly feeling a little tired of it so I am going to try something new. either Kale Chips or Carrot Chips. I will let you know how they turn out!
I find having a plan to try new things keeps me focused on something other than my issues.
Progress: Feeling better going strong
Notes: find more snack ideas
