I used to eat Taco Bell w/ my hubby all the time when we were in college and clearly that is where a lot of my weight gain came from....Now whenever we go I eat from the Fresco menu with the occasional cheesy bean and rice burrito......

WELL last night I went whole hog and I got a grilled stuffed burrito AND some nachos. I wouldn't have blinked an eye about it in the past but I felt GROSS last night. I tried to compensate by drinking an extra 40 oz of water and doing an hour of light stepping in my living room....

Welp, I have learned that once you go clean, you can't go back!!

I woke up this morning with a headache, dehydrated (after drinking almost 130 oz of water yesterday!) and up 2.9 lbs for my weekly weigh in!!

Good bye Taco Bell......I thought I missed you, but clearly I was wrong. In the end, you didn't even taste that good and CLEARLY it wasn't worth it!

    I can relate - although mine was Subway. I had to have a quick bite between running youth praise band rehearsal and then them singing during service. My husband had run by Subway and got me a meatball sub. I didn't know if it was because I had to eat it so quickly (only had about 5 min to eat) or because of what it was, but I felt gross all night and this morning.

    I had a similar experience with a Krispy Kreme donut this morning. It just tasted gross. I was slightly disappointed until i realized this is a good problem to have! Shouldn't be fueling my body with garbage anyway.

    That happened to me recently too, except at Burger King. I was on a last minute road trip so we hit the drive through and I succumbed to hunger. Oh never again! I felt horrible all evening and couldn't go to bed I felt so sick.

    Guess we both learned that fast food is really horrible for you! I can't believe I used to eat so much of it.

    hear hear!!

    Im the same way, I think it's because this crap is actually like poison to our bodies. All of the phosphates and sodium, hydrogenated fats and vegetable oils, not to mention sub-standard processed beyond plastic "meat"

    I've realized that I can't really eat Dunkin Donut donuts anymore... I had a delicious chocolate creme filled on 2 weeks ago, and then felt ill for the rest of the afternoon. It's definitely our bodies telling us to get back on track pronto! Lollll

    You are SO not alone!!! I have lost over 30 lbs. by cutting most ALL of my fast food including my beloved Taco Bell. Yesterday while my mom and I were out shopping for new clothes to fit my shrinking body, we stopped for Taco Bell. Of course, the bad day didn't stop there. I got that stupid thought "Well, I screwed up now. Might as well go all out". Then, had chinese food for dinner and snacked on 2 pieces of pizza at 9pm. This morning...... I have a total food hangover! My stomach is upset, my head hurts and I can't seem to get enough to drink. I'm rather disappointed in myself.

    I agree with your thought - Once you go clean you can never go back!!

    Hang in there!!

    Oi Taco Bell does this to me time and time again, it is the only fast food that I have even touched in about 6 years and still without fail every time I'm on US soil I cause my body pain and agony... I always say never again, maybe I keep going back because of the odd comfort in knowing that my body is still rejecting it...? Who knows

    You probably overdosed like crazy on the sodium. Your body has this regulator that keeps your sodium to potassium ratio at a certain point (or tries to). When you overdose significantly like it seems you did...really there are only 2 good things to counteract it...water and tons of potassium to balance it out.
