[quote=Anonymous]I second the trying to prep food in advance. Or buy pre-prepped healthy food so it's just as easy to pull out a bagged salad as a bag of chips. I usually scoff at the prices of the pre-chopped fruit and veggies at the grocery store, but they do cut down on prep work considerably and won't be any more expensive than take out. If you stock your house with healthy, semi-prepared food and don't buy lunch out, it sounds like you'll be much better off than you are now. Calculate what you are spending on take-out in a given week, and if you don't order any for a week or two, reward yourself by spending the money on something that would ordinarily be a bit of a splurge (house cleaner? baby sitter? dinner at that fun sushi place?).

Don't try changing everything all at once, but pick one of two things to do differently starting this week, for example, prepping lunches at night. Or, since the weather is changing, taking a walk together when you get home from work. If you're motivated by competition or tracking changes, try an ap like my fitness pal or getting a fitbit. Once you get in a good groove, it will be easier to start making other changes and turn down the brownines.[/quote]
