16 days sober..... from fast food. That's right, have to kick the habit. I've been doing way too much eating out in the past few months and have watched my waistline get bigger and my wallet get smaller. I'm trying to take the steps in getting back to eating right and cooking my own foods.

It will be 3 years in July.... that my whole family kicked the pop / soda habit. These days I mostly drink water but anything that nature prodcue I'll drink... apple / grape/ orange, grapefruit juice, lemonade, and tea. I always have a batch of sun tea the fridge; we are lucky enought to still have a local dairy that produces the juices I mentioned at their plant, no additives.

That's great! I've never really been a huge soda drinker myself. If I do have a soda, it's a Sprite or a Ginger Ale. Give me some fresh cold water any day to drink. It's so refreshing. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

I haven't eaten a Big Mac in years myself. Mostly I would go from a Quarter Pounder with cheese or a Single with cheese from Wendy's. With medium fries of course. My go to pig out fast food obsession is Papa John's pizza...the one thing that does pack on the pounds on my 5'2 frame. If I'm having a bad day, I skip the gym, go home, sit on the couch and pull up the Papa John's app to order a pizza for delivery. Time to change that disasterous move.

Well I'm trying my hardest not to look at it as a "diet" per se. Once I do that, I mess up after a few days, then I keep feeling like I'm "starting over" and that I'm not making any progress. Frustration sets in and then I'm off the wagon. So this time, I'm looking at it as making a lifestyle habit change. The only thing processed I'm eating right now are protein bars to snack in between breakfast/lunch and lunch/dinner...otherwise, I'll mess up. I have my george foreman grill handy to grill boneless/skinless chicken breasts and I bought tons of summer squash to saute' with white onions and olive oil. Then I have my fruits, fresh strawberries, blueberries, pinepples and apples. That's it. [Edited 5/27/15 7:43am] I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

I'm almost only eating home made food.
Doesn't help me much, since I have a big belly, due to my medication most of it
Oh, and the fact I forgot about gym some years ago... | |

I admire what you are doing and wish I could do it. I am way too big and its partly due to my weekly or twice weekly junk food lunch fixes. . The problem with McD's, Burger Sling, KFC is that shit is addiqtive, I am sure they put some chemicals and shit in that hooks you up to wanting that shit. Getting crazy ass cravings about eating a Maccas burger every few days is not healthy. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

I try my best to get up earlier, and make my own lunch. Fast food will kill you, and dry out your pockets, at the same time...

Well the whole "cooking everyday" routine isn't my thing. I guess that's lazy since I'm not married and have no kids. What works best for me is cooking my food for the whole week on a Sunday so that I'm able to just grab and go during the week. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Cravings can be quite terrible. I'm extremely terrible when it comes to bread and sweets, but when I lost weight before and cut out the fast food and cut down on the sweets, I noticed that I didn't crave it as much. Perhaps my body got used to it. And I'm also terrible when it comes to portion control. So since I've kicked fast food to the side, it's easier to get portions straight when you cook your own food. It's weird, I find it much easier to eat better during the summer than in the winter. Maybe because the major holiday's occur during the wintertime?

I will get up and make my own breakfast every morning, instead of going into Macdonalds or Burger King. I've also upp'd my water intake so, I don't feel as hungry.

Oh I see. Gotcha! I'm touch and go with breakfast. Some mornings I'm not that hungry and can get by with an apple and a protein bar or fresh blueberries and greek yogurt, but other mornings, I have to have some egg whites with cheese and turkey bacon. So it depends. Guess I'm just funny that way. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

===== [Edited 5/27/15 7:33am] that's awesome, I haven't had any soda in 6 months! and I use to drink 6 Sun drop cans a day! what made you wanna quit? i substituted it for tea and water. Is tea healthier than soda? There's Joy in repetition | |

Hearing Taco Bell say they are going to start using real black pepper instead of black pepper flavoring in their food, has really given me the side-eye on a whole lot of things. I mean it's black pepper, if you've ever had to fake that, then everything else has been up for fakery. Eat real food has been my adopted mantra for a while now. | |

for one... you poor soul... really?
second: i was in the Army and it was taco night and I told the cook "this is just like mom used to make" and he said "oh was she a good cook" well my smart ass side took over and i said "No..." and he got this look on his face...but i saved it "she was really bad at everything except mexican food." (I went on to say she was raised in Texas and we had moved to New England and then Florida and at the time there were no good tex-mex places... so she learned to cook that one thing... Tex-Mex Mexican food... " "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |

So you've never had Qdoba? Because to me, in regards to fast food, Qdoba trumps Taco Bell big time. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |
