NO FAST FOOD APRIL CHALLENGE!

ok i'm in! i have already decided i need to take April to "spring clean" my body anyway. i had been having a lot of success earlier this year but slowly see myself slipping back into some bad habits and it shows on the scale!!!

i need you guys to hold me accountable and occasionally listen to me whine

good for us!!! a month from today we are gonna feel awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

so i was all geared up for this challenge when my Mom decided to go to Qdoba on our lunch date and my aunt was already there waiting for us!!!! booooo!!!!!!!!!! but i did try to make healthy choices and ended up keeping my calories to around 500.

seriously what are the odds??? i don't think i've ever been there with my Mom!!

better today, i packed my lunch for work when normally i'd just run out and grab something so.......Yay Me!!:drinker:

how's everyone else doing?

Hey guys!

I want to share some positive encouragement and motivation!!!

I gave up fast food for Lent, and did not allow myself to cheat, even on Sundays. I had this goal for a few reasons. I need to stop being *mindless* about what I eat. I would be sitting at home at 9pm, get a little hungry, and have a fast food run with my boyfriend and end up eating a whole separate meal after eating dinner, and I decided I wasn't okay with that. Two, I wanted to be more aware of what I was eating, like you never know exactly what's in fast food. Three, I wanted to save money, and four, obviously, just to be more healthy.

Let me tell you, it was hard at first, not gonna lie. I used to eat fast food at least 4 times a week.

But it got easier! After the first week, it was easier. By the fourth week, I could sit next to my boyfriend eating fast food and not even want it. It will get easier, and you will feel AMAZING and POWERFUL when it's over, I swear!!

Details:
Including not cheating on Sundays, I gave up fast food for 46 days (Lent ends this Sunday!).
I gave up McDonald's, Taco Bell (ouch...), Burger King, Arby's, Sonic, KFC, Panda Express, and Wendy's.
I left Subway and Quizno's on the list, because when I think of my four reasons, those places do not come to mind. My choices of sandwiches from those places are actually pretty healthy, not too pricey, and those places use generally healthier than ingredients than the others.

Good luck everyone you can do it and take it from me, it's sooooo worth it!

good job girl! that's awesome! (i gave up facebook. i thought i was going to die. )

besides my first day hiccup :grumble: i've been doing great! even yesterday i hit a point in my day where normally i'd drive thru

and grab something to hold me over, instead i ate the banana i had and drank a ton of water! yayaaaa:drinker:

Hey everyone! I wanted to add to my previous post:

Today's Easter, so I got Taco Bell to celebrate the end of Lent. Honestly, after not having it for so long, it tasted HORRIBLE! And I feel horrible after eating it. If you can make it through your 30 day challenge, you'll feel so much better, and you won't even want it anymore. I totally regret eating it, and I don't plan on having it or other fast food any time soon.

Hope this helps you stay on track! Take it from someone who made it 46 days, it only gets more gross and less desirable as the days go on.

Is it too late for me to join in!? I haven't eaten fast food yet this april, so maybe I can make it into not eating out at all. I always find that when I don't eat out I eat less calories.
