The grocery store. It's where I can do my most damage or like today actually walk out of there feeling good about myself.
To start off I live with 3 boys who are meat and potatoes kind of guys. They don't like anything low fat, low sodium, soy or fat free. They can snack on chips, cookies and ice cream all day without gaining one pound. My brother plays baseball like it's his religion and both my father and boyfriend work some what physically demanding jobs. I understand, but still really why don't you three ever gain weight!? I on the other hand have been unemployed for almost a year and spend most of my days cleaning the house, doing laundry and running errands. Even if I run my butt off that day, I still have to watch what I eat.
Since I am home I am also in charge of doing the food shopping, which for a family of 4 can be tiring at some points. I recently started clipping coupons but have found that there are NO coupons for healthier food. I also struggle with our health food section which is about as big as my bathroom. But I was on a hunt today, taking my time. I first accomplished every thing for the boys and then started my own shopping list.
Soy milk (chocolate)
Turkey burgers
Turkey sausage
Whole Wheat Bread
Kashi Go Lean Cereal
Oranges
Cucumbers
Bananas
So I am slowly stocking the house with healthier things, and while it seems like a pain I will start to make my own meals for dinner. I will continue to make something for them, and will probably only switch out my protein. Breakfast and lunch are not a problem since I'm home by myself, unless it's the weekend...which is another problem for another post :D

Skim milk is much more productive for your system than soy, as that can sometimes be damaging to a woman's hormonal levels. Just a little hint! (:
