lose 15 pounds (read all 2 entries…)
No more fast food! 4 years ago

About 3 months ago, I gave up fast food. I love fast food. I haven’t seen the movie Super Size Me yet, but I’m betting that I’ll get hungry for a double cheeseburger and fries while watching the movie—which isn’t normal. My culinaryinspiredfriends, probably find this disturbing. I haven’t lost a single pound since I first posted this goal, but the good news is that I haven’t gained any either. I also feel better about myself since I haven’t been eating such crappy food. I’ve been doing a lot more cycling and mountain biking since then, so my excuse is that I’m converting fat into muscle, heh.

I’m also reading Fast Food Nation which should also provide additional motivation to stay away from fast food. If you haven’t read that book, I highly recommend it. It’s a bit disturbing, but enlightening nonetheless.

The only caveat to my desire to lose 15 pounds is that I must lose the weight without removing good beer from my daily regimen. A man must have his priorities. ;-)

Ive seen Super Size Me and its just horrible. The things people go through when they eat that junk. I quit that food about 2 years ago, before even seeing that documentary and it feels great to not eat those things.

When I worked a full-time job outside of the home, my family ate a lot of fast food. I can tell you that it’s yucky stuff after a while.

So, I have quit a majority of fast food and I cook more now. Nothing beats a homecooked meal. I had fast food Saturday (pizza). Want to know what happened? It made me sick to my stomach. So, I think I’ll stick to making my own pizzas (which my family likes better anyways).

Occasionally, I will crave a good hamburger. However, I even have to be careful with that. Once you get that grease and those high fat carbs into your system, it’s like you crave more. So, I try to either grill burger at home or make them with buffalo meat.

Just stick with it. The junk will eventually make it’s way out of your system.
