Wow, I am so with you. It's taken me four years to get started. My husband and I eat out too much, too. It's a way to relax, and therefore really addicting!
But think of all the $$$ you'll save. We're trying to limit our monthly eating out to four times.
If you drink 48 oz of pop a day (4 cans), and cut down to 12 oz (1 can), you would save 450 calories... almost a pound a week! But I'm addicted to soda, too, so I know how hard that is to do.
Hope it gets easier for you. Just think of all the Wows when you get back from maternity leave.
