Ok, my life is chaos and my eating habits are atrocious. This post may get whiney but ignore that part and respond to my pleas for help.

I am glad to hear that I am not the only person give 158% during the week and feeling overwhelmed with life. I can completely sympathize with your lifestyle. One thing that as helped me is I went to GoodHousekeeping.com and clicked on the lower information to get into the magazine (if you click on the tool bar across the top you go directly into ivillage). On the left side click on diets and then select "diet plans"; the bottom choice is the "No-cooking diet". This plan has a whole weeks worth of daily menus for foods that you can prepare with no cooking - you occassionally need to heat something up. I used this diet as a guideline for the work week and use a low-fat cooking version on the weekends. It has helped me considerably. I have not lost much weight but I have more energy (keep in mind I also have an under active thyroid which makes it difficult to take off a pound a week)and the no-cook concept has helped me feel less anxious about dieting and preparing meals. I can even get my kids to eat some of these dinners.
Hope this helps. Good luck....don't give up.

Can't wait to read the responses Lori because I feel just like you.
