I have to calm myself down a bit. I haven't made the best choices today and yesterday, however I have had several salads and have juiced my vegetables, so I have had plenty of vegatables and nutrients...but then I splurge like on my cheese burger yesterday. I was in a pinch for time, and it was about the only thing that would satiate me for $1.29~~~And that's another thing, I am so frusterated because I am broke as a joke until the 19th!! It's only a few days, but when have nothing to eat at home, it makes it sooo hard to not get something cheap and fast. There I go with an excuse. I guess I am just feeling a bit off today. I want to stay positive but I can't help feel soooo guilty for what I have eaten today/yesterday. I have to tell myself that I will get back on track, one day won't kill me! I am just so stressed!!\
Oh well, gym tomorrow!!! Yesssssss!

Can't get much cheaper than some dried split peas, carrots, onion, and garlic. It'll make enough soup to last you 4-5 meals at least, and be full of protein and fiber too. Throw it all in the crock on LOW all day and blend it before you eat it! Just an idea! Throwing it out there bc that's my dinner for tomorrow lol! Even your "junk" cheeseburger had good protein and iron in it; it tasted good, now take Draglists advice and move on ;) Great job with salads and fresh juices!!!

Thank you so much for your support, Draglist! It's all about habit, I am now discovering, and I am trying to make it a habit to balance my self-awareness, and trying to not feel guilty at the same time.

@ennaejay~~That sounds like a great recipe!! I always love to try new things, especially easy veggie recipes! So it is just the onion, carrot, peas, and garlic, do you add any stock? And about how much water do you add??
That sounds perfect for all of this snowy weather we are getting!

Nothing to it. One day that probably didn't really take you far above maintenance calories. If you're final goal weight is set back by a day, or by two weeks because of little indulgences, then just think of it in terms of how long it took to make the initial decision. You're fine.

It takes a while for all of us to get into gear anyway.

I do like to add some chicken broth, and the rest is water. How much depends on how thick you like it. 6-8 cups total liquid for a pound of dried peas. Don't forget S & P. There's usually a recipe of sorts on the back of the split pea bag; I don't typically follow one for these kinds of soup. Play around with the spices too. Allrecipes might have some ideas for ya :) Have fun. Cook it nice and slow before blending!

Like Ennaejay, We are on a very fixed income and I keep bags of all sorts of beans, black, pinto, white beans, even giant lima beans They all make great soup. fillinga and go along way. Cooks alot longer than recipes say to be tender. I pressure cook mine. Not the giant lima beans tho.

Such kind words, Dreamcatcher10. I really appreciate you taking the time. It's hard not to look at it as a failure. However, I am trying to view it as "2 months ago, I didn't even know HOW MUCH I was eating." I really didn't! I thought if I wanted to eat, I just should, and then I would wonder why I was gaining weight.

I eat lots of beans and lentils. I also pressure cook my beans following julia child's directions. Had soy beans added to a broccoli stir fry for dinner. A very good and very cheap dinner. Too filling to even have rice with it and great for the calories.

@ Northernmusician- Love your user name, by the way! I guess I am just afraid that if I let it slide tonight, I will let it slide tomorrow and the next day and then the next. That is what has gotten me into this mess. Thank you so much for easing my mind a bit!

Thank you so much MMN and wholefoodnut for the food suggestions. I LOVE beans and such, so it wouldn't be hard to incorporate this in my diet. I guess I am more afraid to work with bean (sounds so ridiculous) because I don't know how to cook them too well. I don't have access to a crock pot. Do you have any suggestions for a great way to cook beans/ great bean recipes?
Thank you so much for your support!!

You can of course substitute any beans you like. This is a way to use up veggies. Chop an onion, sweat slowly until soft in abt 1 tsp. Of oil with a sprinkle of salt(i use olive oil) add a couple quarts of water add a package or 1 pound of lentils. Cook till mostly soft. Add more water if you need to. Toss in any chopped green veggies, even salad mix, lettuce, kale, broccoli, chinese greens, whatever you need to use up no specific amounts. Cook until soft adjust for salt and pepper add about 1/2 to 1 tsp of freshly grated nutmeg. . Let it cool off puree in processor or blender. Tastes different every time depending on the veggies. I just call it green soup.

do you happen to have a pressure cooker?

if you have regular pans, rinse a pound of beans, check for any rocks or foreign materials. put in a large bowl or pan and soak overnight or all day. drain and put into a pan, cover with water about an inch above the beans, bring to a boil, then simmer partially covered until tender. cooking times vary with the type of bean. if you buy packages it will have the basic times on the package. i often add bay leaves and a cut up onion and salt them when they are done cooking but still hot. salting the cooking liquid can make them tough. you can add veggies any kind ypu like toward the end of cooking. carrots, kale, and celery and you have a dang big pot of soup. a pressure cooker makes beans rather quickly.

That didn't make sense. I cook them with the bay leaves and onions. I add any salt after they are done but still hot. Pintos i sometimes add a couple of dried pepper-chipotles are really good.

I pressure cook my also. Love it this way. Like Wholefoodnut said don't add salt while cooking, it makes the skin tough. Salt after they are cooked. The 1lb bag costs me $1.38. and that's cheap for alot of beans.

This is one of my favorites. You can use most any veggie or kind of cooked bean. Blanch about 1 pound of cooped chinese broccoli just till the stems are crisp tender.drain,set aside. Mince 3 cloves of garlic, heat 2tbs of olive oil in a large skillet, add garlic and cook till slightly golden. Add drained veggies, cook for about 5 min turning often, add 2 cups drained chick peas (garbanzos) and one minced chilli pepper (optional) cook about 5 more minutes stirring often. Makes 4 hefty main dish servings. I cut it in half for me so i have leftovers. Can be used as a side dish as well. Of course season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
