I think I have a few good habits that are helping me stay on plan:

--I often eat dinner leftovers for breakfast: beef stew, roast chicken, grilled flank steak--you name it. Having protein early in the day keeps me from getting hungry too soon. (Bacon and eggs works too!)

--Whenever I see favorite meats on sale I buy extra and freeze some--the two biggies are ground beef and chicken breasts.

--If my kids don't like what's for dinner, I might take pity and make them a cheese sandwich, but for the most part I'm not worrying about their preferences.

--I know what LC foods I am likely to overeat and I exercise caution (good quality cheese, for example).

--I browse different parts of the forum as often as possible.
