Don't eat fast food

i just watched the movie supersize me..ugh totalllly grossed me out. Im definitly gonna try to stoop with the fastfoood.

one day about 2 1/2 years ago i decided to quit eating mcdonalds. not because it is bad for me but because its not good. then a few weeks later i had burger king and it was gross so i decided to just give all fast food up for good. havent had it since. now i see people with a cup or fries or something and i wonder why people eat that junk. although i will eat jack in the box when they come to town. once or twice.

of no burgers, fries, or fried food. That doesn’t mean fast food is totally out of my life, I’m just choosing healthier options.

One thing that would make this easier (making the healthy choice) is for me to make a list of the acceptable options at each fast food place I frequent and choose ONLY those options. I think I will leave this on my list until I complete that.

until I hit Day 30 without fried food. And that will be about 70 days without burgers or fries. I’m looking forward to crossing this one off my liset.

In 10 more days I can say I have not had a burger or fried food in 30 days. It has been going fairly well. Now that I’m paying more attention to not eating fried food I am seeing all the other ways I could eat better. Goals for tomorrow.

No burgers or fried food. If I can make it to day 30 I think I will mark this fast food goal complete.

After my restart on 6/23 I am back up to day 9 of 30 days without fried foods or burgers. I am actually surprising myself with how well I’m doing on this one. It’s just one small category of food, but it was such a big part of my diet before.

There are many other areas of my diet in need of improvement, but if I can conquer this one I will feel a little more like a success and a little less like a failure and hopefully that momentum will carry me forward on other things.

Well today I messed up and ate not one but two food items I’m trying to avoid. I did pretty well up to today but I feel like I need a restart on this. So tomorrow I will start again with Day 1 of 30 days avoiding burgers, fries and other fried foods. The only fried food I’ve been wishing I could have is Ivar’s fish – the cod you get with fish and chips. I don’t miss the chips, just the fish. When I get my 30 days over with I will let myself have the fish as a special treat. I think one item in 30 days is doable. And it’s much better than in the past when I’ve eaten fried foods almost every day.

I have thought of this often – and now everytime I cave and grab something fast I feel gross and now that my kids are old enough to want it I neeeeeeeeed to stop – I am doing harm to me but it is unforgivable giving this crap to my kids. This is my first go at it and my first time ever in a website or anywhere else for that matter – going public. I’m doing it because it just may help keep me strong!

I’m doing well on the no fried food goal so far. After my 30 days of no burgers or fries and now adding fried food to that, I’m sure I’m a little bit healthier. But what I would like to be is minus some pounds, and that’s not happening. For me losing weight will not be a matter of food choices but of cutting back on portions. Sometimes I think “why am I bothering to do this, I’m not losing weight!” But I have to keep reminding myself “the goal is to be healthier and you have to start somewhere.”
