Being prepared is the key to losing weight. A couple months ago I would eat lunch out with my coworkers every day. Not only was I spending tons of money on lunches, but tons of calories. Even the sandwiches you order are HUGE, so you end up consuming so much more then you think you are. Several times I ate myself into a food coma after lunch time. Heavy, fried food with lots of fat that leaves you feeling disgusting after you eat them. Yuck!
I prepare my lunch for work every day now. Not only do I get to eat healthy foods, but I control the portions. I pack myself nutritious snacks too! I try to prepare my lunches the night before. Part of being prepared is making sure that you go to the grocery store and buy the foods to have them on hand. Make sure that when you go grocery shopping that you haven already eaten, because this is also where you get in trouble. When you are hungry you tend to buy foods that are convenient, and I usually toss in a couple too many sweets!
Buy lots of fresh fruits and veggies! Another part of my preparation is coming home from the store and preparing those fruits and veggies to be ready to eat. You spend a little extra time right when you get home from the grocery store preparing your food, you won't regret it!
