Sounds like mine too. This is the perfect plan with a little more details (except I stay away from the sour and whipped cream).
Same...I use skim milk if I use milk at all...or almond milk. Along with 1% cottage cheese and lowfat cheeses. I did cheat today with one Dove milk chocolate heart (38 calories! Man, those are calorie packed...).
From the Wii menu, go to the little envelope icon on the bottom left of the screen. From there choose the second little icon on the bottom right (should be a 'Create Message' pop up when the pointer touches it). When you open up the address book you'll see a screen telling you 'This Wii Console Number is....." followed by a huge number.
You can send messages Wii to Wii from here (or so I am told).
I agree - the sour cream and whipped cream are a bit of a compromise. But when it comes down to "do I rip into my roommate's box of cereal which is loaded with processed carbs and HFCS or do I make a berry smoothie with whey protein and mix in a spoon or two of fat free whipped cream to add a little creaminess..." ... it's a little things like that that make all the difference.
Suddenly a blah smoothie or a blah can of tuna (with FF sour cream, not FF whipped cream) becomes endurable.
I've been onthis diet more or less for two years, so I've had to get creative in order to not get board and start cheating. And frankly, if you could see me, I think you'd agree that a little FF sour/whipped cream doesn't hurt at all

Oh no, Wyst, I wasn't trying to put you on the spot to explain yourself about that. lol. I'm sure whatever your reasons for it, well, they're good reasons. Besides generally having a high fat content, I also know how my body reacts when I consume too much dairy, which is why I generally avoid it

Gotcha.. Yeah.. I try to avoid the fat too. That's why it's all FF stuff (fat free).
I highly recommend Clean Eating magazine. It has great recipes and each issue has a two week menu plan and shopping list that is really easy to follow.
I also recommend packing your food for the day each morning. I got a great japanese bento style lunch container. I pack my breakfast, lunch and snacks so I never get hungry and I never have to stop to pick up junk food.

^This is key. When the munchies attack and you don't have something clean ready to go.. you're in trouble.
