Don't eat fast food

I’ve had fast food twice. Both times were after extremely long work days. The best part of this goal for me, was becoming more mindful of my eating while out and about. Lasting benefit. Yea! Well worth the effort.

Just a wee bit tired, hungry and busy. I wasn’t paying too much attention. Instead, I was thinking, “If I go to McDonald’s I can get such and such, or if I go to Dairy Queen I can get this.” Funny how conscious eating can almost slip away. But I prevailed! And I need to be more thoughtful in the future!

I’m loving that I am inspired by Carm to make this smart and healthy choice.

Making the shift. In what situations am I prone to eating fast food? My most common reasons are: reward, comfort, and convenience. Oh yeh, and that Siren call when I’m busy and hungry.

I’d like to take this day by day, for thirty days. Today is day 1!

my most cheered goal. And one I’m afraid I’ve let slide again. So it’s time to get back on the wagon.

I am starting again with 30 days of no burgers or fries. Hopefully this first part won’t be too difficult, just a matter of being more mindful. That would be a good thing.

I’ve been packing a lunch daily and cooking dinner nightly. I’ve also been getting to the gym far more regularly, and when I do that, I don’t want to offset any benefits by eating a greasy burger. So, I’ve been doing great!

Today my daughter and I did got to Subway, but I don’t consider that fast food. I had minestrone soup instead of chips, and it was actually pretty good!

Side bonus… I’ve saved a lot of money this week. :)

In 2007 I made it my new years resolution to not eat fast food at all. I did not have a single thing from any fast food restaurants for 9 months! Then, during a road trip with my husband, I fell off the wagon… or is it got on the wagon? Either way, I ate Jack in the Box. Since then my fast food visits have slowly increased. I have to get off of it, and I’m goin’ cold turkey. Here are my guidelines:

-If it has a drive through and its NOT a Starbucks, I won’t eat there.

-If I am out to eat I cannot have any fried foods (those are still considered fast foods even if you are dining in and have a waitress).

I hate fast food. Sometimes it’s a must, sadly. I hate all that grease/oil nastiness! I just don’t watch them because I will lose my appetite.

this is my problem, im trying to lose weight but i eat to much fastfood like mcdonaaalds..im starting a diet tomro 9/21/08 no more fastfoooood.

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.
