Stay away from frozen ready made meals even if they are for weight watchers. The amount of salt and god knows what else in it is unreal..
Eat less white flour, opt for wholemeal where possible. It releases insulin that tells the brain your still hungry when you're not.
When peckish snack on sunflowers seeds and water in the evening. They are great to make your hair shiny and help boost mood levels.
Em... oh try not to over cook foods, you'll need all the nutrients you get and when you over cook vegetables the nutrients are lost. 2-3 minutes steamed or stir fried its all thats needed.
I have to just say i know it will never help completely but you will find that a diet high in nutrients and exercise can really help you boost your mood level, even a small bit. I found it did with me. I just felt healthier.
I don't know if i helped much but i do feel the little things matter.
Good luck!!

Thanks for the tips... we dont by frozen meals because they are way to expensive. I have been reading labels like crazy lately, just cause i have never really cared before.. and its insane how many calories some things have.. Our supermarket has a "blue menu" in the cheaper brand of foods which is nice, I try to get that when I can, its actually kind of crazy the difference in calories between the name brand and the blue menu, and there really isnt much difference in taste... now just have to wait and see if it makes a difference.. its only been a couple weeks and I have slowly been incorporating it into our diet.
sunflower seeds is a great idea.. I am totally a snacker.. could eat a whole bag of chips and not even phase me.. Always looking for snacking tips..
