I love that fast food makes me sick now

Chameleone

I'm the same way. It makes me feel sick, and pukey. I'm glad for that. Now I only eat it when I have no other food options (road trips and stuff) which is very rare...

I used to love eating Mcdonalds... I craved their Filet of Fish sandwich and their apple pies... I conditioned myself NOT to like it anymore... I made myself watch Food, Inc and Supersize me... and combined with my weight loss goals, i do not even like to look at fast food restaurants like McD's, burger king, kfc, popeyes, wendys... ugh.

We're ALLL better than that kind of food. Our bodies do not deserve that.

Our bodies don't "deserve" a lot of stuff. You don't need high heel shoes, or perfect hairstyle either. People have preferences and when others look down on what they think is "bad" for them, they are essentially looking at others as inferior to them.
Think about it, you don't even like at fast food restaurants. So how do you judge the people that eat there? As idiots, morons, uninformed, etc.?
I eat fast food once a week for over 40 years now. It's only "bad" when it ends up being the staple of your diet.

A few months ago, a friend of mine told me about a doctor that went to McDs and ordered a burger and fries, brought it back to his office, and put it on a tray on the check-in counter. He left it there. And left it there. And left it there. For over a year, the food sat there, unchanged. It did not smell, it did not attract bugs, it did not disintegrate. This story (and the supporting pictures) alone changed my view on fast food, .....

That had nothing to do with the McD's burger being bad for you or full of preservatives or anything like that. http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/11/the-burger-lab-revisiting-the-myth-of-the-12-year-old-burger-testing-results.html?ref=title

Even if you made a burger from scratch it wouldn't mold. "the burger doesn't rot because it's small size and relatively large surface area help it to lose moisture very fast. Without moisture, there's no mold or bacterial growth."

This story (and the supporting pictures) alone changed my view on fast food, and kick started my current weight loss journey. While french fries snuck off my kids' plate when they randomly are allowed to have them still taste heavenly, I'm definitely not hitting the drive thru two or three times a week like I used to. And when I do sneak those fries, I can certainly tell a difference in how I feel.

If you took an organic potato, cut it up, fried it in vegetable oil and set it on a plate it would do the same thing. Devoid anything of moisture and it would just sit there. Ever had stale bread, or beef jerky? Beef jerky can last a long time.

My daughter is home from college for a while and she wanted pizza the other night. I had a couple of slices and felt HORRIBLE!! THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!

This sounds like disordered thinking to me. "Food I like makes me physically ill! Yay!"

Quick lesson here folks. Though you may feel now that you're "above" fast food, when you turn your nose up at it, your friends will look at your differently. You can dislike it, and say you no longer indulge in it, but to berate it and say it's crap around them while they eat it, is going to leave an impression that you feel you're above them. They won't say it to your face, but they will to each other. Just say it's not for you anymore. No need to make disparaging remarks because others around probably do still like to eat it.

I agree and FF does the same to me. We eat it maybe 1-2 times a mth. I'll crave it every once and awhile but then when I in fact do eat it I instantly wonder WTF was I craving. Oh well.

Now Chipolte is a staple in my eating. I get a steak fajita bowl with extra veggies every week and love it. It never bothers me.

So far this week Ive had Wendys, Subway, Lee's Famous Recipie (basically KFC), and Taco Bell. After each meal I felt... full. Plus, they were delicious.

I have to have a cup of peppermint tea after a fast food/ fatty meal now, my stomach just cannot seem to take all the fat and calories lol xx

I didnt realize all fast food is high in calories and fat... weird.

I was fast food free for a few weeks and then I had 2 McDonald's cheeseburgers. They were sooooo good . I was like "mmmmmm" with every bite and I chewed so slow because I never wanted it to end. When I was finished....I realized how freaking thirsty I was (water, of course) but then I realized it sank in my stomach like a rock, and diarrhea followed shortly after. I don't think I've gone there since. I won't be doing anything to discourage others or act like I'm above it....because I know I love it. It has just become one of those things that I love but can't have much of in my life.

There was a point where I went at least 6 months w/o eating any fast food. I ate burger king and got soooooo sick. I had a really bad stomach ache. It makes you wonder what they do to their food. That happened another time after eating at a buffet. I hadnt had any processed foods in a long time. I did not over eat but I got sooo sick at my gma's house, I was sick half the night.

Any time I eat anything higher in fat now I have issues the next day. Last night we went to a BBQ with brisket, beans, and all kinds of good stuff. Tasted great going down, not so great this morning..

I don't love that it makes my stomach so unhappy, though. I kind of like eating fatty brisket at a BBQ now and then. Or a giant cheeseburger. Heck, I'll admit it, I like having fast food now and then because darn it, that shiznit's tasty.
