    I just made up my mind to do this on Saturday night. Then I had a moment of silence for my bi-weekly Chipotle burrito and the really cute counter boy who knows my order by heart. But its also $40 a month I'll be saving towards a shiny HRM and a new scale. That is just pathetic.

    Count me in!
    :laugh: The things we trade off to look good! :laugh: :wink:

    Plan ahead - that's what works for me! Today, I have homemade soup for lunch which I made a big batch of and froze (so convenient that way!) and tonight I am going to have a small lean cuisine meal at about 5pm (an hour before I leave work) so I'm not famished when I get home. Then I will just have a snack in the evening. NO McDONALDS for this girl!!! LOL

    Good luck on Day 2 everyone!

    I like the challenge. as I tend to cave in to pizza, like this past weekend. (it wasn't november yet..hehe..so I think I'm good). I like the occassional cheddar fry from beef a roo, but I down graded from a large to a regular. I am pretty good at resisting, but I hope this challenge will help me during my weaker moments.

    I used to eat taco bell daily!! I had it again several months ago and thought it was nasty! Funny how things change. I try to limit eating out but I'm just too lazy to make food at home every night... then do dishes. (no dishwasher). How do you ladies with busy lives and families do it?! I limit my "fast food" to taco salads at a local mexican place, Noodles and Company (the best fast food in my opinion!!), Subway, and Chipolte. Some places truly do have good options.. I just try to avoid places with a drive thru!

    in high school I worked at taco bell, I know what that stuff is really made of...stay away...homemade tacos rule! I like chipotle too, much better than taco bell. we have a new "noodles" but I never ate there. it seems a little expensive. how are the portions?

    Well, we had pizza last night, but I DIDN'T. I ordered a salad to go with it and ate that. So far so good!

    Well, I almost didn't come back to the thread.
    Monday ~ success
    Tuesday ~ Burger King @ lunch :frown:
    Wednesday ~ already had an egg and cheese biscuit for breakfast
    Of course, now I feel like, well, already blew this week so may as well just wait until January. :grumble:
    Ugh~ I get so freaking frustrated with myself! My relationship with food is so unhealthy.
    I KNOW what to do and what NOT to do but I still make the wrong choices ALL THE TIME!

    Good job to those having success! :drinker: I know what an accomplshment it is to succeed at even one day without fast food! Way to get it done! :flowerforyou:

    YAY for you! Good job!
    I, on the other hand, had the stupid pizza.

    It's ok! Please don't give up. I know it can be hard, and we do sometimes fall off what we are trying to do. What makes you go with fast food? Is it that you don't make other options or you just really want it? I know for me, just having the food around to make instead of trying to figure out last minute is huge. Even if we are rushing around, I can plan a dinner and have that ahead of time and it should be much better. Doens't always work, but its the planning that's my problem.

    Stupid commercials on TV were driving me crazy last night! I really really wanted a double cheeseburger from McDonalds. Now I'm still craving something but again have planned ahead and hope I can keep my hunger at bay so I don't give in! I won't get home until about 8pm tonight... usually that means stopping for something fast but I've packed another Lean Cuisine to have at work before I go home so I'm not tempted to do that!

    Good luck on Day 3 everyone! And if you stumble, just get back up and make a new choice! There's ALWAYS a chance for a new choice!
