Yay LJ! And yay you for getting through what sounds like a couple of tough days and coming out the other side with a really good plan.
I'm in the same boat. I'm the heaviest I've ever been. My weight gain is SERIOUSLY affecting the osteoarthritis in my knees, and making things I love to do really hard to do. I get super frustrated with folks who take body acceptance to the extremes (anti weight loss when it's a healthy good decision, anti weight gain when it's a healthy good decision, either way). I really don't cook much at all, so for me it's more salads, fewer french fries, and not eating after about 7 pm (I tend to absent-mindedly eat a lot late). Good luck to you! Your plan sounds awesome, especially the getting out and walking part! ♥
