I had a really busy morning and stopped by Zaxby's to order lunch. So much regret. 🥲The Kickin Chicken sandwich with Cole slaw used to be so good!
The quality almost everywhere, here, has gone down over the last few years. Last week I ordered a coffee from Dunkin Donuts and it was watered down. I already cut eating out alone for the most part this year,just saving it for social activity, but I am really committed to not eating anywhere with a drive thru window this year!
I'm done overpaying for soggy cold sandwiches, tasteless cheeseburgers, and watery sodas and coffees!

Hi i want to lose -20 kg u can join me😇1
-
Good goal, but no I can't. I might commit to a week at a time. I could commit to 3 months in the summer.
Maybe I'll commit to the first 2 weeks of January, then see where it goes.1 -
😁👍I would make an exception for the coffee shops, but I keep getting $3 "Hoover coffees" that taste like water and not realizing it til I've driven off. At least this way I'll be inside the store and can have them remake it!0

What is Hoover coffee?0

Supposedly during the Great Depression people reused coffee grounds over and over and dubbed it "Hoover Coffee" basically watered down coffee. 🥲

I drink that all the time. Lol! Never knew. Make a pot early with 2 scoops, add just one scoop to old grounds, make another pot.2
-
I do the same, haha.1
-
I broke the news to my daughter that I'm refusing to eat/drink anywhere with a drive thru. She said none of it is good anyway, so she's on board! 😁3

Just woke up from a nap. Hungry. Decided Wendy's for a baked potato and chili. Fast, easy, reasonably healthy. Thought of this thread. Nope. Healthy, quick, easy at home.
Is it really that easy?
Beginning to look forward to this challenge.2 -
I haven’t eaten fast food in years, no desire for it. Here to cheer you on! 💫1

I asked my daughter if she wanted to eat a whole day of just fast food since we have a few more days of 2024..she said no, we can just start it this week, haha0

I just watched a Will Tennyson YouTube, he ate only foods we have in the US that are banned in other countries. It made me wonder, what fast food can you eat that isn't banned in other countries.
All hamburgers and I guess all breaded chicken would be banned because of the dough conditioners in our wheat flour. Mcdonald's apple pie? Doesn't it have wheat flour? Biscuits? Out.
What about fries and hash browns? Fried in banned grease?
Instant mashed potatoes? Banned.
Wendy's baked potato? Don't know.
Subway sandwiches? Out.
Subway salads? Have to check out the dressings, for sure. The lunch meats would be out because of nitrates and nitrates?
Potato chips. Out because of oils?

That's interesting! Most of those foods i only eat once in a while or never, but I had no idea Jello and stovetop are banned in some countries! I hardly ever eat chicken..i hope turkey is better. 😬0

In anticipation of this challenge, I went to the grocery store to buy some quick and easy things to have ready for the inevitable 4 am munchies. A quick NSV. I had forgotten how many instant foods there are available. So many granola bars that are shelf stable for years--how long do they last in your body? Pop tarts, frozen pancakes, waffles, PBJ (are we really too lazy to make a fresh pbj?). Toaster Strudel-- I used to love that stuff, couldn't get enough. Then there is a whole aisle of (mostly sugary) cereal.
I bought a box of frozen breakfast quesadillas. I got out my cold brew setup. I bought 2 prep'd fresh breakfasts. I plan to make and freeze filled biscuits. Next week I will prep homemade turkey sausage and scrambled eggs. I bought a bento box to fill with celery, carrots, fruit and nuts and have ready in the fridge.
So bring on the sleepless nights. I'm ready for you.
No more 4 am mcdonald's!1 -
It's a little unhealthy, but i found buying that Kraft American cheese helps. I think that's what I mostly like about fast food is the cheese!1
-
Ha Ha! I hate American cheese. So mad when fast food went to cheeseburgers instead of hamburgers. Now I have to order a cheeseburger with no cheese.
So what do I like about fast food?
Mostly I dont like it.
Convenience. No dishes to wash1 -
6th day of January. 3rd day in a row I'm still not asleep at 4am. Fighting the urge for McDonald's hard today. Gaining weight. What I really want is sleep. Slept about 4 hours later yesterday morning. McDonald's doesn't help. Just need to remember that.1

The universe apparently is in favor of this challenge!🤣
I was dreadfully tired while my daughter/friend were watching football on TV and went on a coffee run. Thought I'd try a new coffee shop w/ no drive thru..on the window it has a sign-World's Best Coffee- well, it was not the World's best! The lady told me she'd just charge me for a medium since she was out, but when I got it it was half creamer! I paid her almost $8 anyway for that and my daughter's hot cocoa..just because she was so nice and I felt sorry for her as her business seems doomed to fail!
Anyway, I just headed to my usual spot saying it's just a coffee, but I waited and waited at the drive thru and no answer even though the parking lot was full!
So, finally I headed for the Golden Pantry (convenient store) next door and picked up a fabulous coffee for $1.61!
So that is my new coffee spot in town if I forget to take some from home!0 -
One week success! 51 more to go... why are they showing me more fast food commercials on YouTube than ever???
0 -
2 weeks ✔️
50 to go before I order anything through a drive thru...Definitely missing the breakfast biscuits most so far!0 -
I can't say 2 weeks yet cause the day isn't over.
I've been sleeping well--until last night.
I have been eating my prepped ahead scrambled eggs, and that has made it easier. I'll finish them tomorrow and make some Kodiak pancakes to have ready.
Today is rough, but I have good food at home and I've been busy enough to keep my mind off it--until now.
Tomorrow will be better. Just gotta get thru tonight.1 -
It's 6am. I've been awake and hungry since 4am. 4 hours sleep. It's gonna be a bumpy ride today.0
-
Prepping eggs is a good idea. I might try that for my daughter on weekdays! I'm not a big breakfast eater, anyway, which is why I like to just grab a quick breakfast out for us sometimes, especially on weekends. We haven't even missed cheeseburgers yet at all, though.0
-
Made it! In the mood for fast food night, so made salty roasted potatoes, closed my eyes and pretended they were French fries. Good!1
