Today is the 1st. I am committed to not going out to fast food for the month. Who's with me? We can keep each other accountable on this thread.

Make it what you want/need it to be. I allow myself subway if I need to go there. My biggest issue is lunchtime so that is what I am focusing on. I will also try to limit or avoid pizza for dinner. I can get a salad if my husband wants to order pizza.

    I am so with you on this! For the month of june no fast food, but I too will eat only at subway but no more than once per week if I need too! No more burger king, mc d's or wendys for me!!! maybe I will lose all desire to eat at those places!

    You will find it easier to avoid fast food if you are tracking your sodium as one of the nutrients. I don't even eat at subway anymore because the bread is so HIGH in sodium.

    Wow what an awesome challenge! I need to do this too! Lunchtime is my biggest issue! I agree that Subway should be an option if necessary. Great idea!

    Friends are good to have! Shoot me a request if I don't get to it first.

    I've done this a couple other times last fall. I actually do feel like I want the stuff less after a few weeks of avoiding it. It does sound good, but if I do end up eating it it doesn't taste as good as I think it should. Here's to hoping for that result again!!

    Glad to see others taking this on!

    I do track sodium but I'm not a stickler for it. If just watching sodium were that big a motivator for me, I wouldn't be eating fast food in the first place. I just need to commit to not doing it...its worked in the past and will work again.

    If you stop eating fast food you will lose the cravings for it. Then when you do eat it for the first time again you probably won't feel all that great.


    If you have not seen it you should watch Super Size Me.

    I'm in! I have been slowly falling off the wagon over the last couple weeks and I need some big motivation. Maybe joining this group will help!

    Agreed! I have seen it and it is a motivator. Its amazing how much this crappy food affects your body, things you don't even think about.
