Healthy and Happy!
How I did it: I went to college in August, scared of the freshman 15. I had eaten a lot of fast food over the summer and had gained 6 pounds. Before I went to school, I managed to cut back on the fast food and lost 2 pounds. When I got to school, I told myself I couldn't be like a lot of the other kids and go out all the time for fast food. The only place I've been to for "fast food" is Subway and I only went once. Since I've cut out fast food and all … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just plain stopped. It was tough at first since the convienence ingrains itself into so many other habits. Very rewarding - a few pounds disappear and an immediate impact can be seen on your bank accounts. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Although I haven't eaten red meat or poultry in well over 10 years, I had a love affair with Taco Bell. I also indulged in many a fried potato and side items from kfc, and the veggie burger from bk had become a staple of my diet. I had always looked down my nose at mcdonalds because I had heard and read so many horrible things about the company, and besides, there wasnt a damned thing I could eat there, as even the fries were cooked with … Read how I did it…

How I did it: Just decided that if it's hard enough to find quality unprocessed foods in the store, that fast food is probably 10x worse, so I cut back A LOT, and now I only eat there VERY rarely. Read how I did it…

Alright. 
How I did it: Mainly I ran out of money to waste on fast food. But I'd hate to suggest to people that they become broke in order to avoid it. Heh. And no I can't write more about how I did this! Why is 43things so naggy these days? Urgh. Read how I did it…

Working on it!
3 days ago
Since I stopped drinking soda (ten days so far! Whoo!) it’s been a lot easier to resist fast food. It’s hard to find fast food that works with water. XD We got Subway on Monday, which I barely count as fast food anyway, and we got Burger King yesterday, but I didn’t eat much of it. And I had some mozzerella sticks from Sonic on Wednesday. But hey, baby steps, right? Going from fast food every day to three times a week is an improvement. :D
I'm totally serious about this...
1 week ago
I eat fast food 7 to 10 times per week and have gained about 40 pounds in the last 2 years. I can totally believe that this stuff is addictive, which is why I’m leaving it in the dust. I even started a fan page on Facebook for support.

Fast Food

I just ate some Burger King today. Not going to lie it was delicious. Crappy fruits and veggies just can’t satisfy me like fast food. Without fast food I’m always hungry.
Yeah, I need help :(

Hi my name is Chris and I’m a fast food ADDICT. Yeah, I realized I have a problem when I saw in one of my text books that eating fast food more than three times a week makes your risk for cardiovascular disease shoot through the roof. Three times a week. Hehe I’ve eating it like every day for the past year.
I’m certainly not overweight (though I could loose a few pounds) but my heart must be crying out in pain. This is going to be really really hard. I’ve tried to cut back before but my mind just starts wandering to fast food thoughts when I haven’t had it a while. Pretty soon I can’t stop thinking about it.
Oh man this crap is so bad for me. Well I’m going to try to quit, cold turkey, starting tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I am addicted to fast food, yes I know it’s INCREDIBLY bad for you and there’s crap in it I can’t pronounce but none the less I am addicted and eat it daily. There I said it. I would love to never eat it again but it’s like crack to me..so here it goes.

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.
