stop eating fast food

I finished my 6 months a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier!! Since then, I have had fast food a few times and have either gotten sick or haven’t enjoyed the food at all, so I am back to shunning the stuff. There is no sense in eating it anyway. It is just a bunch of crap that is adding inches to my waist.

So, goodbye forever McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and all of your brothers and sisters. I loved you at one time, but our relationship… its over.

It has officially, as of today, been 5 months since I had my last fast food!!! Seriously, I could just throw a huge party right now!!! I am feeling great!

I never thought that my cravings for fast food would really start to die down but they finally are. My mouth still waters at the though of some fasts foods now and then, but all in all, I really don’t want the stuff. I have just gotten so used to not eating it that I really don’t think I could ever eat it again. I had a non-fast-food hamburger the other day and it didn’t taste as good as I remember burgers tasting. The only thing it did was make me feel sick and groggy. I honestly don’t think that I will ever go back to my fast food ways.

One more month and this goal will be COMPLETE!!!

So, it has been 4 months since I last had fast food. The closer I get to reaching my goal of being 6 months fast food free, the more I think that I don’t want to EVER eat fast food again. I mean, how great will I feel when I can honestly say that I haven’t had fast food for 1 year? 5 years? 10 years???

I had a day this week that was kind of hard. My dad bought fast food for my grandma and I had to feed it to her. Now, the temptations of fast food are usually few and far between, but having the food right there in my hand, the smell filling my nose… It was torture, to be honest. But, I did not take a single bite of her food, not a single french fry or sesame seed off the bun. I resisted and I am proud!!!

It has been officially 90 days, or three months, since I had fast food! Only 90 more days to go!! Yipee!

.....without fast food!!! I am feeling amazing! Haven’t really lost that much weight, but I feel better, and that is what counts!

It has been an amazing 6 weeks without eating fast food and it is GREAT! I don’t really crave it any more and even though I haven’t been eating extremely healthy or anything, I can tell that my body is adjusting well. Fueling my body with grease and fat was not good, but now I am switching to more fresh foods like salads and raw fruit, so I feel amazing. I am thinking about going through a detox to help clear out the bad food that I have eaten so that I feel even fresher.

But, a total huge HOORAY to being 6 WEEKS FAST FOOD FREE!

As of today, I have officially made it 4 weeks without fast food! The longest I have ever lasted before was three weeks so I am already stronger than I was the last time. I feel wonderful for not eating fast food. My diet is almost completely grease-free and any time I do eat grease, it is horrible. I feel so sick from it. So, all in all, the fast food thing isn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. I do still get cravings once in a while, but they are mild. The worst is when someone else in this house gets it because the smell still makes my mouth water. My husband hasn’t had fast food either, so we are making this journey together. I has helped having him by my side… :)

So, here’s to another 3 weeks and many more after that.

22 weeks to go!

Today marks three weeks that I have gone without fast food. This past week has been a little harder for me. My dad has been bringing fast food into the house and just the smell of it sort of makes me crave it. But, in spite of craving it a little, I have stood strong! I can tell that my body appreciates it. I don’t get sick after eating any more, which is a wonderful sign. I think the fact that fast food made me sick should have been a big red flag that I shouldn’t have been eating it, but I didn’t even really notice it until I have gone without eating it. Also, this is the longest I have gone without eating fast food. I tried doing 6 months without fast food before and it was around the 3 week mark that I gave in, so I really think that if I can make it past this week, I will be able to go the whole 6 months. Anyway, I have 23 weeks, or 164 days, left until this goal is COMPLETE!

I am happy to say that I have successfully gone two weeks without eating fast food! I am feeling GREAT!!! I had a moment last night where I wanted to give in, but I talked to my husband and he reminded me of how nasty fast food really is. He reminded me of all the times that we have gotten dry, tough, cold chicken sandwiches with too little mayo and brown lettuce. He reminded me of all the times we have said “no pickle, extra onion” and gotten extra pickle, no onion instead. He reminded me that I want to eat healthy and have good food. And it worked! He really is the greatest husband ever and I don’t know what I would do without him! With him by my side, the next 24 weeks should be a breeze!! Only 171 days left!!

12 days down, 173 to go!!!

Today, I told one of my friends about my goal of going 6 months without eating fast food, and she said that I couldn’t do it. I was honestly offended. I mean, I am not upset with her at all for saying it, but the comment made me really want to stick with this all that much more. I know that it is making me a lot healthier giving it up anyway. I don’t get stomach pains after eating any more. I don’t feel like I am going to get sick after a meal. I feel like I have more energy and enjoy home-cooked food a ton more. I really can’t wait to see where I am in 25-ish more weeks. I wonder if I will even want fast food?
