I just couldn't do it. I couldn't eat at Wendy's.

Awesome I am 3 days in and my body is craving saturated fats completely. I'm eating well but I really want a Twinkie lol. But it's good to hear your strength. Kudos.

Dont you find it Ironic that the owner of Wendy's, the daughter, is like 300 lbs, and is in the most recent commercials pitchin a baconator? Not good PR there, in my opinion. Wendy's is so bad that On my bike ride, I went to take a break and have a snack....something about 200 Cal or less. There was NOTHING on the menu under 200 calories. It forced me to get over to MCDonalds across the street for a berry smoothie.

The small chili is just barely over, at 210. Probably your best choice. They also have some decent salads (get the half size and forego the croutons.)

I can totally relate to this. I use to eat at McDonalds all the time (I mean all the time as in the girl at the drive through window once told me I was running late for work- and she was right!) But after several months without it someone brought in a bunch of mcbreakfast sandwiches to our office and just the small about made me sick. I don't know how I ever ate there so much.

The last time I had one of their salads I got food poisoning.

CONGRATS !!!! Because that took a TON of willpower to walk out!!!!!!!

I can see your points, totally.... but.... I recently tried the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad at Wendy's and LOVED EVERY SINGLE BITE OF IT. The calorie count wasn't that bad either. The "fat" people you saw ordering and eating, surely were NOT eating salads. Or, if they were, they were loading them down with not one, but two or more packets of FULL FAT dressing, croutons, bacon bits, the whole 9-yards. So they do have healthier options.

I recently had a HUGE CRAVING for In-N-Out.
My church had the In-N-Out truck one Sunday and that's what started it. Having to smell it. Mmm.
Then, a few days later, I was at my mom's house and my sister came over with, what else? In-N-Out.
That just made my craving stronger.

All week last week I told myself I WAS going to have an In-N-Out burger damn it! LOL.
Sunday, after church, we drove 20 miles to get In-N-Out. It smelled SO GOOD.
Halfway through I said to my husband, "Hmm, this sure did smell great. It's good, but it definitely smelled better than it tastes. Totally not worth it. I'm over it now." I finished my burger and logged it and moved on. Craving, over and out.

This week I was craving our favorite Mexican place.
My husband, who is also doing MFP, said he'd only go if he knew the calories and had enough wiggle room to fit it in.
I called them and they didn't have their calories. I whined a little when he said we couldn't go and then I thought about it and it's not worth it. We can go to a chain place and KNOW what we're consuming. If we went to our place we'd have to guess.

Anyhow..... CONGRATS on a JOB WELL DONE!!!!!

the only fast food one i will eat at is arby's and even then i get a salad. Sadly, after eating homemade food for so long, the Mcdonald;s, Burger King, Wendy's, KFC, Taco Bell etc make me ill. When my husband goes for them and brings leftovers home after work, I smell it and want to throw up, and Taco Bell is the worst one to where I have gagged from the smell as well.

Congrats on not eating it!!!!!!!!!!!

When I started this a year ago I promised myself a reward when I hit my goal. A Triple Baconator with Extra Cheese! I lived for that day and many a time it helped me stay on the program. I really wanted that Baconator! 101 pounds lighter and 4 pounds from goal and that baconator is a distant memory. I have eaten at Wendy's only once in the last year and it was to try their new blueberry salad. It was good but almost too much food in one sitting.I have nothing but love for Wendy's and I may eat there again some day. I may even have that baconator, but my reward system has changed. My rewards come every day in my improved health and the way I feel. So I totally relate to what you are saying. Wendy's ( and many other things) are a pleasant memory from the past. I am creating new memories now. Different but just as pleasant in their own way, and longer lasting too considering the years I have hopefully added to my life. :-) From the bottom of my heart "Good for You!!"

Honey you are not missing much, fast food is just not good these days.

Wow....great to hear....Wendy's is one of my downfalls.....I will remember the words in these posts the next time I have the urge to pull into the drive-through. Thanks, guys.

Congratulations, that must have felt amazing

Trust me, it was a long time coming. I am over 95 days in and still stumble but it is a marathon, not a sprint. A lifestyle, not a diet so we're all going to stumble on occasion. It's the getting back up that matters. You can do it!

Thank you. It's good to hear all the awesome stories! From everyone.

I grabbed some Wendy's the other night on my way home from the hospital (my sister had just had a baby). After eating there I felt so sick. It had been so long since I had fast food. I didn't realize how I was poisoning my body before. I've lost 40 lbs and dropping. I think its a matter of being aware of what you're putting in your body and not just eating for the pleasure of it. I doubled my excersise after eating there, moved on and haven't had fast food since.
