We're pretty conscious. We generally restrict eating at restaurants or ordering in to once a week. We're vegetarian and I've limited my cheese to occasions when I have been thinking about it and really want it. (That's my rule for any 'craving.' I have to have it for a week before I really respond to it.)

We plan our weekly menu on Sunday morning, go to the farmer's market for produce, to the store for other supplies, and stick to it pretty well. Our main meals are typically things like steamed veggies (w/ a veggie protein for me), stir fry with greens and brown rice, balsamic corn and bean salad, baked okra with pomegranate reduction... it's very healthy stuff. No butter (only cholesterol-free Earth Balance). No bad oils, only olive and sometimes canola.

I eat the same thing every morning-- teaspoon of peanut butter before vitamins, then fat-and-sugar-free-yogurt/bran/berries once I'm at work. I eat leftovers of our dinner food for lunch. I eat salad at night (and a few bites of whatever I'll be having leftover.)

I drink four ounces of juice with my vitamins in the morning, water for the rest of the day. Sparkling non-sweetened juice or iced tea (Izze and Pom Tea, primarily) as a special treat perhaps once a week.

We're exercising (or, our goal is) every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning. Swimming laps during the week, water aerobics on the weekend.

Haven't lost a pound. It it my metabolism, my stress level, my PCOS? My occasional desserty-type snack? My portion size? I dunno. But I'm being pretty damn healthy and that's what really matters. Not that it isn't effing frustrating.
