Igetfit- For my weight I am supposed to be eating 1800-2100 calories a day. Usually I can barely get in 1400. So I have been zigzagging a little. Some days I hit 1400, 1600, 1900. I guess its working so far because I have had steady weight loss. But I totally understand what your saying. Also on a side note, I only get paid once a month here in SK, so you might notice towards the end of the month when money is super tight, my eating is not quite what it should be in terms of volume. I have high student loans I have been paying on the past 2 months and they have put a big chunk in my grocery money. But, only one more high payment and it will be lowered by a good $300, and that will be $300 more for me to spend on groceries or whatever.
That being said, thanks for your comments. They are always welcome.
Oh honey I am sorry, I feel your pain my friend, I took a two year deferment on my student loans. I only have $355 a month for food and eating healthy is so expense. If you notice I eat the same things over and over again because it's cheaper and I make big batches and freeze it, like my chili. I have raspberries this week because they were on sale for .99 cents a pint, I bought 3 pints. LOL I measure everything not just for calories but to make it last longer.
My goal is to eat between 1200 -1600 a day and to not eat past 6:00 PM.

shan84 - You really are an inspiration to me. Instead of stocking up on cheap junk you are sticking to your healthy plan, even thought it requires even more sacrifice than just not eating the "bad" stuff. I'm really proud of you!!
Ladies, thank you for all the encouraging thoughts. You guys are the one's who keep me motivated and help keep me on plan. Thanks for all your continued support.
Tuesday plan:
Exercise- 15 minute walk to school, 20 minute walk in town after dinner (brisk walking)
B: cereal w/ banana, and milk
S: NOTHING
L: seaweed soup, rich fiber crackers, 1 apple, 200ml of orange juice, Dr. You bar
S: NOTHING
D: ONLY drank water (Woohoo!)- no alcohol. Had 1 1/2 cup of grilled mushrooms, 2 cups lettuce mix, 1/2 cup of kimchi and about 400 calories of sam gab sal (korean version of bacon).

Tuesday plan:
Exercise- 20 min walk to and from work for sure!
B: cereal w/ banana, almonds, and milk
S: dr. you bar
L: Turkey, swiss, mustard roll ups - no bread, 1 yogurt, rich fiber crackers, 1 apple
S: dr. you fruit and nut bar
D: Our company boss told everyone today that he is taking us out for dinner. So I will come back tomorrow night and edit what I ended up having. Knowing where I live and the people I work with, it will probably be Korean food which means I will be able to have a high calorie count of many vegetables and some good protein.
**Note to self: I will NOT indulge in drinking anything but water tomorrow night. In Korea, it is custom to drink with your bosses and often frowned upon if you do not. If nothing else, I will pretend tomorrow but I will not touch any alcohol.
Shan84: You are Super Rock Star I have no doubt you will do just find this evening!
