I don't diet, ever, and I don't own scales. It took me awhile to be okay with that and it was something I struggled with. I used to purge and it was so bad for me, I was just a kid. I had to learn to stop giving food power.

A frozen pizza is 12 bucks and a bag of dried lentils and a head of cauliflower is 7 bucks. Assuming you have some salt and pepper and spices in your cabinet, you can make a lentil soup that will last for two days.
I was thinking the same thing actually-that fresh produce is more expensive than processed food. But maybe Sally is right. I just price checked a couple of things and it did seem very reasonable.
Maybe we've been programmed to believe that.
