Eating lunch and eating better

I need to start eating better, I get the cravings for MCD's fries but I run out of ideas for lunch and dinner.  What is everyone else eating????  I just can't think about food in the morning when I get up to pack it and then whatever I pack in the evening I don't want by lunch time.  I need to just start eating salads, raw veggies and fruit.

    My weekday lunch is always a salad with lots of veggies, avocado, 2% cheese crumbles and sometimes hardboiled egg.  I do this so that I get enough veggies in because I used to cook dinner every night with lots of veggies now dinner is just whatever takes the least amount of effort.

    I ate a really healthy diet before pregnancy (lots and lots of meat for protein and veggies, lower carb - all whole grain though) and now it's almost impossible for me to.  Meat disgusts me.  I can cook it, but then I don't want to eat it if I've seen it raw.  I'm going to attempt to make meatballs tonight and hope that I'm able to eat them. 

    I've been able to cook chicken for chicken and rice soup without it bugging me too much, so I've tried that.

    I've been eating a lot of freezer meals, takeout, or not eating at all, depending on how my m/s is.  I can't wait to get my eating back under control.  Luckily, I've only gained 2 lbs, but can see this spiraling out of control.

     i hear ya, I just don't like anything anymore.  Nothing sounds good to me :( With my DD I ate so healthy and good, no morning sickness with her but this time has been hell. I hope it gets better for you soon also.

    Heckysue, I love your advice!

    FWIW, here's my weekday menu:

    High fiber bran muffin with Smart Balance and fruit for breakfast

    Spinach or romaine salad with chicken, small whole wheat roll, pelligrino for lunch

    Special K protein shake or a spoonful of Peanut Butter for snack

    Spinach salad with figs or strawberries, frozen dinner (lean protein and brown rice)

    Weight Watchers GIANT fudge bar for dessert (Ok, they're not that giant but they're good)

    Happy Eating!
