Hi everyone. I know I'm new to this group, but I really have a burning question. I'm an international grad student and I just discovered that I have to purchase a meal plan because my building only has one small kitchen for about 60 students. My friends are all excited about not having to cook and not having to do the dishes afterwards but it freaks me out. I will have no control over what I eat. I won't be able to check the calories etc. Even though I'm doing pretty good I still like to know what it is Im putting in my mouth. Im afraid I will start skipping meals again etc. Have some of you ever struggled with this? Please let me know, I would love to get some advice on how to avoid going back to my old ways. Thanks!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
And welcome to the group.
wow what a good question.. I know how hard it is to be stuck like this. but you have everyright to ask what you are being served and forced to eat. PPL without ED have the right to research and make healthy decisions, so try not to feel self conscious (its hard I know)
I also thin kyou know how to choose healthy foods, and avoid junk... I hope you do well, good luck !!!!!
Even though I'm eating the meals, I really hate people watching me eat and I've gone back to b/p-ing a couple of times. But...I'm not going to lose hope and I'm just going to make the best of it =)
