Okay, a couple of things...
This week is going to be hard on me...I have so much to do, I have to really make an effort to get more exercise in. I will have soccer twice no matter what but last week, I did a lot of geocaching and yardwork so I was getting exercise and this week, with the school work piling on my head, I don't know if I will be able to do it or not. The other bad side of being so busy is that I don't have time to really cook. Last night I bought a small pizza and hot wings and will be eating leftovers for dinner and lunch today, I am sure...since it requires no effort. I am hoping to get some of this school crap off my chest early this week so I can relax some. I haven't hit golf balls in weeks...grrr...
The other thing is that in reading the article that Chicken sent me last week (which was not new news but a good reminder) I am trying to eat more small meals...yesterday each of my meals was pretty small and that is why I felt okay having the snacks at the end...and I thought that I would end up feeling full when I went to bed and when I got up. Nope....at about 3am, I was starving in my sleep so I guess it is true about how it speeds up your metabolism to eat a bit throughout the day rather than saving it up for those three big meals. I just feel like such a pig grazing all the time, and when I am home doing school work, it is so easy to graze, believe me...
Anyhow, those are my revelations for the day....hope they help someone.

I'm right there with you. Between working full time, going to school half time, multiple large projects on the house and impending company, I'm having a real hard time finding time to make meals.
I think once you get used to the small meals, you will feel OK about it. The trick is portion control and eating substantial stuff to hold you over.
Good luck!
I'm with you, being busy makes it very difficult. I guess that is why I eat a lot of things that can be made easily. William and I made a big pot of soup this weekend so we can eat it all this week.
Portion control was always my problem. I am totally surprised that I am not having as much of an issue now. I love feeling just right, not bloated and super full.
Kashi & WW makes some good frozen meals. Keep those around when you are in a bind. They are low calorie, low fat and perfect portions.
