I am really struggling coming up with meals for supper.  During the week (Mon - Thurs) Bill isn't home for supper.  He goes to school and so I just pack him a dinner to take and eat there.  It is usually a sandwich, etc cause that is what he likes.  But for me I need to have something more than a sandwich for supper and I am having a hard time just cooking for one person.  I don't want to buy prepackaged meals cause they contain too many calories and sodium (which I have to watch) so does anyone have any suggestions on meals for one or maybe 2.  I could make something for 2 and eat it 2 days in a row.  This is a real struggle for me.  I want to just run to Burger King, or McDonalds (so easy) but that would blow my new way of eating so I don't. 

When Bill was deployed and it was just me at home I would stop and get fast food on the way home from work and eat that.  Then on the weekends I would just order chinese or pizza and eat that all weekend.  So you can see how bad my habits have become.  I have broken this habit but am still struggling trying to figure out dinner options.  Breakfast and lunch are easy for me.  Does anyone have any meals you can make for 1 or 2 persons that doesn't include peppers.  I can handle onion and mushrooms (just pick them out or leave them out all together) but neither of us like peppers. 

I am doing better, I think, on not ordering food for delivery or going out and getting something fast food.  To me that is such an accomplishment.  Fat people are lazy and I am the best at being lazy.  I would much rather order something then have to cook.  It is too much effort to cook but I really need to put that effort into cooking a meal.  Most of my recipes are for high fat, high calorie meals and I really need to get away from that.  I also live for gravies or sauces and need to stop that.  I wish there was a way to creates a weeks worth of supper meals and then I wouldn't have to put any thought into but once when i plan the meal.  Does anyone make this kind of meal plan?  If so, please share with me what and how you do it.  Thanks....Until later...have a great day.
