I have discovered I am a convenience eater. Which is to say i eat what is easiest to get to. What this means is I need to keep well stocked on the healthy choices or I end up going for the less good. Still I keep it below goal.

Convenience eater ...

... you and me both! Probably explains our physique (I believe you and I are, how shall I put this, at least slightly above our ideal weights (grin!))

I've been ill for the last couple of weeks, and the only upside is that since I've had a couple of days when I couldn't taste what I was eating, it meant I wasn't eating as much ... however I did have too much high-cal/low-val food around so my snacking hasn't always been as good as it could be (plus fresh fruit and veg go rotten quickly while cookies and chocolate could survive for months (but don't unless hidden!))

So I'm trying to make sure that I shop regularly for fruit and vegetables and just accept that I'll probably throw half of them away, but at least they are there when I need them so that's an investment I *have* to make ...

... last night I had some leftover takeaway indian food, not quite enough for a meal, so I chopped up half an onion, some mushrooms and half a red pepper and quickly stir-fried them with a little turmeric and garlic powder and boiled up some brown rice, and putting those all together made a filling meal.

Good luck with the eating, and keep up the great work with the food diary.
