I never devoted much income to "junk" food.... maybe an occasional bag of cookies or a tub of ice cream for the wife and I to share while watching a movie.

So our food bill going up is due to buying more meat rather than a bag of rice or a bag of potatoes.

I'm hoping to offset the cost of eating today with how much less I better be eating at 200 rather than 300 pounds.
And feeling better about yourself because you've lost XXX pounds can't really carry a price tag.

Not to mention money saved that you don't even realize because you never needed to go to the hospital to treat a weight-related problem that you prevented because you got down to a healthy weight before that ever had to happen.
