[quote=Anonymous]YOu are probably getting take out or going to restaurants b/c you don't have the mental energy during the week to figure out what's for dinner. I would suggest making weekly meal plans so that you just go home, see what's on the list and go about making that. It's easier to follow instructions than it is to come up with what to make/what do I have ingredients for? I would allow yourself once-a-week eat out lunch. The rest of the time, bring your lunch. You'll still feel like you are getting to eat out a little. Think about it this way -- would you like to have an extra $10K per year? What would you like to do with it? That's what you are giving up right now by eating (and drinking) so much. And the latter (eating and drinking) is just going down the toilet. Might be nice to have less debt or a sweet family vacation and/or college savings for the kid. You really CAN'T have your cake and eat it too. You have to decide not to eat the cake![/quote]
