Wow! yea, I gained weight at the beginning of college and wasn't really exercising because I was busy, so when I came home my mom pointed it out. Wake up call! Since I got back to school I worked out like crazy and got my muscles back. Find time to go to the gym, it is healthy for you and makes you feel less guilty for eating food. Also, lean pockets are good meals, they're cheap and microwavable, a students best friend.
Toward the end of my semester unfortunately I lost roughly 12 pounds from not eating hardly anything because I was too stressed out and working too much to notice my stomach was yelling at me. This caused me to lose alot of my muscle in my arms, which yet again I'm trying to get back. When I would get back to my dorm I decided sleeping was more important than eating and would just telll myself I would something later. Turned out for nearly 2 weeks of doing that to my body, my appetite slowly went away. So after I got back on schedule I didn't eat large qualities. I couldn't handle more than a couple slices of pizza, everything filled me up.
So moral of the story, make sure you eat healthy foods in moderation, but don't allow yourself to forget to eat like I did.
Walmart has good selection of microwavable dinners that are pretty decent.
