I'm so glad your fiance is willing to help you and do LDL with you. My hubby doesn't need to lose weight either, but he likes all the LDL recipes (well, he hasn't quite wrapped his head around using beans instead of mashed potatoes, so I don't try to make him go there
![wink ;)](./images/smilies/wink.png)
) But he's happy to mostly eat what I eat, and that helps a lot. He does still eat bread and some other things that I don't, but honestly, it doesn't bother me -- not at all after the first week or so of being fully on LDL. I do LOVE the fact that he is totally supportive -- you're very fortunate, too!
Don't sweat not being able to buy everything until your next shopping trip. Just do the best you can with what you have right now, plan for next month, so you can make all the delicious soups and other dishes that will fill you up and make you feel great, and you'll do fine. It took a few weeks for me to work into it and get it right, too, and I know about not being able to afford wasting food.
Honestly, your food bill will probably go down once you get your kitchen re-arranged. Even if you don't have the time to cook your own beans from dried, the canned beans are a lot less expensive than a frozen pizza!

You CAN eat lean pork if you want to -- Roger (and some others of us) doesn't use it because of personal convictions. Just make sure all meat is the leanest you can find. By not buying prepared foods or snack foods, you'll also be able to afford the fresh fruit and veggies. My "adopted" daughter-by-another-mother is on social security disability, so her monthly budget is pretty low -- and she is doing LDL, too -- so I know it can be done.
Sooooo many of us have been where you are right now, so hang in there, and keep asking questions and coming here for support! And we'll pray that you find a really great job quickly!
Enjoy the journey
