stop eating fast food

I have managed to significantly decrease my fast food intake since adding this goal, but not to quit eating it altogether, unfortunately. I’m hoping that completing a 5 day fast will prompt me to make radical changes and be much more strict about what I am consuming as fuel, even if it means opting out of some meals entirely and going hungry on occasion (until I can afford to have a kitchen constantly stocked with healthy, raw goodies). After wiping the ol’ slate clean, so to speak, I should be all the more enthused and determined to keep my body free of empty calorie junk and functioning at optimum efficiency. (Right now, I have NO energy at all to spare.)

I never really enjoy fast food as much as I think I’m going to before eating it, to be honest. And it’s all so hopelessly unhealthy! (Even the sh*t that’s marketed as “light” and “low fat” and “a sensible alternative.”) I like to think I’m saving myself a bunch of time and money with all that value menu garbage, but it adds up to be a ridiculous expense every time. I’m tired of getting ripped off and suffering merciless tummy aches to boot. Enough is enough!

I don’t eat fast food much, maybe once a month, but even that should stop. There should never be a reason for me to eat fast food.

I am currently 30 lbs oerweight i eat out eery day sometimes twice. I feel like crap i am bigger than ever, i have no energy, and i am always moody.

Started cutting back on fast food my sophomore year in college, probably by my junior year I had completely stopped eating fast food. Thinking about how greasy, fatty, over salted, not to mention all trans fats present in fast food makes my stomach uneasy. Feel much more healthy without fast food/junk food in my diet and I have no intentions of starting to eat it again. Not eating fast food and eating more at home has made me a better cook too. Picture: making a pizza from scratch.

So I haven’t eaten fast food since my last entry. Well, save for a trip to Subway the other day. (I got a 6” sandwich and apples instead of chips, so I feel OK about it.) Mostly I quit because I could no longer afford it! Hopefully this time I will stay way from fast food because it’s expensive and bad for my health. This time I’ll work hard to keep this thing off my list!

every time i eat at mcdonalds or kfc i get really tired and with no energy. i hate that mood. i have to stop it and also because i want to get in shape.

again.

But it was the first time in a while.

Part of the problem is that fast food is so darn cheap and convenient. The problem is that I have to stay away from these places when I am hungry because I think with my stomach rather than my head.

Unless it’s like In-and-Out, which is probably one of the “best” places for fast food (from what I’ve read).

I suppose it does. Well I had Subway today so tomorrow is going to be day 1. It’s not just a matter of being healthy but it will also save a lot of money. I looked at how much we spent on fast food last month and I almost passed out.

about this goal for the past week – I was doing a lot of road-traveling, and it’s hard to avoid junk sometimes. I’m back to trying to be healthy, though!
