Fast from fast food for 40 days

So we’re trying this again. It was my Lenten fast a few years ago, and I just got back into the habit of it. I hate the way I feel after I eat fast food. Therefore, no more fast food for the next forty days/a long, long time.

As of 8:38pm on December 30th, I am starting to work towards fasting from fast food for 40 days. This goal has been on my list for a long time, however I kind of forgot about this site for a while, but that has now changed :). Most people would set the goal from Jan 1st, but why not now? The annoying thing is that I am going away on holiday tomorrow, and we will probably stop by McDonald’s on the way as that is unfortunatley the only place to get food on the way. I will pack my own lunch and do my best to resist it! I figure if I can do this early on then it should get easier (fingers crossed!).

Me and my family eat a lot of Macdonald’s since we have one right down the street. But it’s so unhealthy! Fattening and gross. So I am going to attempt to fast from fast food for 40 days.

I’m spending Holidays at my parents’ house, which makes this goal SUPER EASY!!!! I always have great Peruvian food here :) The real challenge will be to avoid McDonald’s once I get back to Venezuela, but at least I think my body will be used to avoid fast food by then (mid Jan).

You’ve gotta do it! Life minus fast food…life plus exciting new meals! Learning how to cook, losing weight…it’s excellent!

No, I did not do this, but I have cut back dramatically. The fact that I eat with other people often forces me to break this resolution, but I’m just happy I’m spending less on food and eating better. So this has been somewhat successful, but as for the nifty-sounding actual resolution, yes, I’m giving it up! :)

Fast food is so unhealthy… and once you’re away from it for awhile, you’ll find that it’s really not that tasty, either. roots you on

This makes me nervous, but excited. Ok, starting tomorrow. No fast food.

I’m still allowed to go to Bruegger’s once a week because it’s something to get me through the work week. If that is fast food. But this will still be a challenge, and a rewarding one I expect!

By the end of the 40 days, I’ll have broken my bad habits and will want it less—better for me, and better for my pocketbook. Yeah!
