My girlfriend and I spend a little time every Sunday cooking larger amounts of healthy food that freezes and keeps well, so that we can portion it out and have lunches all ready to go during our work weeks. It takes no time at all to pull something out of the freezer in the morning, your portion is already decided for you, you cooked it, so you know it is good chicken, low-fat this, reduced-sodium that. This is a very very good way to reduce self-sabotage, no need to run out to fast food anymore. Great post! I would like to emphasize point 3, Cook from scratch.

We need to education more people on healthy living and not just weight loss. The two go together and when we focus on weight loss superficially we cause some people to have unhealthy obsession with there image. I think education is the answer.
