I know why also, it's because we'll eat out, and once I have one meal out, even though it is "fairly" on plan, I kind of start losing my conviction...which tells me the food was more "off-plan" than I realized. I think it's triggering me to want to eat other items. I try to plan ahead, and often I'm good about it. Since I tend to eat lunch out with the ladies on Friday, my dinner plan tends to be salad. I try to plan it at least.
Lately my plans have been not working out so well.
We just keep at it.

Good morning ladies, I just cannot eat out and not see 2#s on the scale the next morning, despite how 'clean' the food is. I know it's the sodium in it. And it annoys me that it takes me another day, at least, to lose those sodium-pounds. So now I will ask for a big salad (dressing on the side) and a baked potato and/or steamed veggies.
I am so glad I only have to cook for myself. It would be hard to ignore forbidden foods like cookies and ice cream somebody else is eating, even though dairy really upsets my GI tract and I pay for it later. Yes, we definitely have to prep and cook a lot more! What's working for me is simple foods. Yesterday I had some veggie chili over roasted potatoes and carrots; so good. Sacks of frozen veggies and already prepped veggies, rice in a bag, canned beans, salsa = easy and nutritious meals.
Procrastination is a form of resistance. Good luck. Keep carrying on!

Maybe this is an excuse, but I'm thinking MWL is too 'intense', for lack of a better explanation. It feels too much like a diet to me right now. Still experimenting with what will work. I'm aiming for about 50% fruits and vegetables at each meal, but I'm keeping in some of the calorie dense items, and exceptions.
