Taking guilt out of the equation Healthy=Food/Guilt*Sleep

So now I am trying to get more momentum going. I think I have realized where my down falls are, and I am now trying to cut out caffeine and get more sleep. When I have too little sleep, I get cranky and anxious, which leads me to want to eat, but all I want are comfort foods, and due to my lack of sleep, I have no willpower, only tired surrender. The more sleep I get, the more I am able to see that the food decisions I make will benefit me, my wife, and my child. This helps me choose better foods, and want to get more exercise. Who of thunk it.

Failure tastes like Capriotti's

So, as I have been going through this wonderful roller-coaster of an experience, I see that I am falling behind on one of my four classes this semester. Low and behold, it is the one that I have to face up to the failures of eating healthy. So, to make a long and painful story short, I have not been able to cut out all forms of crappy food. I have been able to stay away from meat, mainly cause I have been doing that for the last 3 years, but not entirely. Unfortunately I consider fish meat, and unfortunately sushi has fish, and unfortunately I love sushi. But that is the good stuff that is not the best, but better than most of the bad stuff. (o.0) I think I am going crazy. I have been able to control soda consumption, water intake, fatty foods, sweets, and "Fast Food", but my downfall it time consumption and nutrient density. Unfortunately I have not been ADDING a large amount of healthy food to my diet. When I get home, I have no energy, and I cannot push myself to make/juice the foods that I need to for the next day. This "stacks" so to speak, pushing my lunch and dinner in directions that are almost impossible to retrace, and get back on track. Because I do not have the right food ready for breakfast, I eat something that is quicker than normal. Maybe some sprouted Ezekiel bread with avocado and seasoning spread on the top of it. Keeps me full till lunch time, but what happens when I do not have the avocado, I fry an egg. BOTH of which are too high in fat for me. Anyways, trying to get a grasp on anything that might help with my situation, I have tried to do what one of the people posted as a response here on this site. I try to make sure that I am never really hungry. So far, this has helped IMMENSELY with my stress level, which in turn helps me not crave comfort food, which in turn helps me eat better. I have researched more of the benifits of it and some of them can be found here.

NOT THE BEST, but defiantly better. Now if I can just overcome my little devil on my left shoulder telling me "Capriotti's veggie cheese steak has no meat, and is quick. You can run errands AND eat tasty grilled mushrooms and onions with fake meat." Man that little devil is heavy.
