  If you want cheap healthy food, try getting a tin of butter/flagolet/canneleni/haricot beans (about 90 English Pence), putting it in a mixing bowl with some curry spices/mexican spices in the bowl with an egg and a slice of bread crumped up. Make sure the mix is dry enough so it won't fall to pieces when you make it into pates.

  Anyway burger them up, grill them, and serve with sices of avacado and tomato.

  Cheap, easy, tasty, and vegetarian too!

  Or boil lentils in chicken stock with some mushrooms, drain them off, toss them in oilve oil and balsamic vinager and top with rocket.

  Its about being creative.

   

  Exercise helps too lol!

  imho the best way to eat healthily is to learn to cook your own meals from scratch. if you buy all the pre-packaged "health food" crap then you'll run up a debt to compete with that of sub-saharan africa and you probably won't get some of the nutrients which are essential to a healthy diet. i eat healthily and tastily for about 15-20 quid (20-30 bucks) a week. and that's because i buy fresh fruit and veg, meat, herbs and spices etc. and turn it into a meal.
  
  try out seer's recipes, their good ones (although, if you're doing the first one make sure you crumb the bread rather than crumple it)
  
  as for friends, my magic method for finding who you can trust and who love you for who you are is: find someone with multi-colored hair and body modifications, buy them a drink and the rest should flow naturally from there.

  Didn't graduate?
  Meh, not like you can't try again when you feel up to it. (and have two nickels to rub together.)
  
  0 grams trans-fat can have as much as 0.49999999999999 grams per serving.
  The FDA was deregulated by Bush so they could CLAIM 0 grams when it's not.  Nice, huh? 
  
  Look on the label for the words "margarine" or "partially hydrogenated".
  If it has either, it has trans fat. 
  Pick something else.
  
  Trans fat is linked to diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.
  
  Loser?  Meh.
  Tell her she's right and change the subject.  If you fight, she thinks you're in denial and won't move on.
  
  "Lazy?  Sure.  I have no plans to exercise, what now?"
  
  Heavy?  Yep, but when I lose weight, by breasts disappear first.  What fun is that?
  
  If the kvetch doesn't get the hint, try the next friend.  Maybe they aren't all dense.

  dyingman- Thanks for the tip on looking for those two on my labels....lol and i hope my breasts don't dissappear ....that would be rather depressing!! ahh! ...and yes my friends are dense ...eh..ahaha but for the graduating part ..well i didn't drop out of college ...its just that i can't seem to stick to one major so i have to keep switching which means it would take me longer..to possibly graduate.

  CW, its not that bad when you get used to it! When you get used to cooking healthy and eating healthy, its probably about the same.

  Ms.Confused, I used to be dangerously fat (technically I'm obese on the BMI scale, but its not fat anymore!). I changed my life over a period of years. Now I can't face McDonalds or KFC. Poptarts for breakfast would make me sick!

  So when you start to eat healthy, after a year or two you start to dislike unhealthy food.

  So its not a chore forever!

   

  And if you want recipies on cheap, healthy food, ask Aoio, he's the poorest person I know lol

• Ms.Confused said on Feb 09, 2009....

  Seer- i hope that actually happens.....heck i wanna be one of those people that say "You have got to be kidding me...you are eating that burger? ARE YOU CRAZY? its has a load of blah blah " lol...most of co-workers are like that.

  Lol he can't be more poor then me!

  i'm unemployed and surviving on benefits (£45/$65 a week +rent) and, after food and bills, i can still afford to get drunk 2-3 nights a week and buy random stuff which i don't really need. it's all about knowing what you want/need and what you're being told to buy by advertising and society. i'll be writing a blog on how i get by in the next couple of days (if i get round to it).
