Money has always been my biggest anxiety issue. When it's under control, I'm less likely to overeat. So, yes, I do see that having my bills under control, and having savings, helps me lose weight.

I've saved almost $60 a month on food expenses by simply cooking all of my food at home. It's amazing how much money you really spend on eating out vs. what you spend on eating freshly cooked homemade meals and taking the leftovers to work. If you pay attention, budget and purchase correctly then you can even afford to make delicious meals for yourself to take to work the next day. I also agree with the "well-stocked kitchen". Having all of the ingredients on hand will make you far more apt to cook. If you have to purchase every little thing for your next meal, you're not going to do it. If you've got everything on-hand though... much homemade tastiness will ensue. I completely agree! I’ve saved almost $60 a month on food expenses by simply cooking all of my food at home.
