Confessions: I am a nibbler! I thought that would be a good thing, but I noticed that I quick grab something to munch on (peanut M&Ms) but because I keep wanting to fix something bigger, I don't grab much of anything, and I'm nibbling all day and my meals are too stretched out. I am just not making much progress! (I did slam 5 bucks worth of Wendy's food yesterday (not healthy, but hopefully fattening)after spending a crazy 4 hours organizing the RS closet with only crackers to eat...and crackers are not my favorite.)
What Worked for Me: I have come to LOVE my bread and yogurt in addition to the usual cereal in the morning. (Hey, and the bonus is, Vanessa is also eating more bread, yay!)
Perhaps some of you are staying away from carbs, but if you want good carbs and not empty ones (like WonderBread), Prairie Grain Bread tastes so good (It's like Great Harvest bread), , can be found at the grocery store and their honey wheat only has 5 ingredients (Stone Milled Whole Wheat Flour, Honey, Raisin Juice Concentrate, Sea Salt, Yeast). I also found Mountain High Yoghurt (I do it for the dairy/calcium aspect, but it is healthier and less sugary...it's better to eat along with something not as sweet, like bread). I also have my stock-pile of baked potatos that I'm finally starting to benefit from.
Recipe: here's the recipe Matt was talking about from before. It is super easy and fast. Fish-lovers enjoy!

The good thing about your week is that you are recognizing your eating patterns and what you should improve on! It sounds like you will be able to make some progress with a little planning. Hang in there, your plan is a good one and you should see some weight gain soon!
i agree with mom! planning is everything!! once you have that down, then it all will come very easily! good luck, little woman!
I jump on the planning band wagon here! That's what I have to do, I plan everything I am going to eat the day before. Good luck Lisa, hopefully we will have new guts and butts to show off when we see eachother in a few weeks!
