I have learned I cannot keep large quantities of junk food in the house. I agree with the suggestion to only buy or cook single sized servings of sweets (other than fruit). Also, it helps to have meals at a regular time everyday because if I wait until I am really hungry then I am more likely to eat less healthy. We eat lots of vegtables too. Cabbage is both delicious and inexpensive sauted with salt and pepper. It is also good braised with onions, salt, pepper, a tablespoon of sugar and a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (for the liquid, I like to add low sodium bone broth because it is nutritious and Walmart has a very inexpensive one). Also, proteins like chicken keep the hunger away for me.
