Yup.  For years that was my issue.  It was just easier to grab fast food or something else pre-made than to eat healthy.  Honestly, it is a life change you have to have the willpower to make the life long commitment. 

 I eat mostly vegetables now (not a fruit fan).  Egg whites and beans for protein (not a meat fan either).  I eat breakfast every morning and bought a microwave veggie steamer to bring to the office.  They make 'steam in the bag' frozen veggies now too.  They're super convenient and quite tasty if you find a brand you like. 

My turning point was a 'biggest loser' contest we had in my office.  I was determined to win it.  We started in January and it ended in Mid March.  Initial weigh in I was 145 w/ a bmi of 26.5 (Im 5'4") I was very disheartened seeing that number on the scale.  It made me more determined than ever to get healthy.  I added weight training 2 days a week and cardio 2 -3 days a week.  I am happy to say the plan has worked.  I look and feel better than I ever have.  I am 41 years old and I weigh 125.  Less than I did in high school.  I am determined to stay healthy and fit.  I hope you're able to make the change and stick with it.
