How long has it been since you've had fast food?

If you mean all the places i used to go to - Burger King, taco places, quickie sandwich shops that make 1,000 calorie sandwiches, then that would be a month ago, when i started this.

If you mean places that are sort of fast food but make healthier choices, then it would be every day including today. this would be like Cosi restaurant makes a few items that seem to work for me. Once in a while, not every day.

Wow i was looking over at the Cosi menu, they have nutrition facts, i was shocked to find out that many things are high in sodium, like 1,000 grams (mg?).. why do they have to put that in there???

Well because im choosing a low sodium, low sugar, low fat food choices, today i had some regular salad dressing and it had so much salt!!! too much! and tonight i had some panyang curry at the Thai restaurant and even though i got the medium spiciness it was so hot!! so i wonder if my tastebuds have perked up and started enjoying these other flavors, because i ate a lot of salt and sugar and fats.

How long?




About fifteen minutes. Chicken fillet in a bun. Lovely.

Yesterday I had the BBQ pork sandwich from Burger King
Day before that, I had sesame chicken and cheese wontons from the best Chinese restaurant in town.

I have no doubt I went way over my calories. Worth it though. Back to watching what I eat today.

There are some foods I will never give up, ever. Sesame chicken is one of them.

I havent had fast food in about a month. I used to eat fast food (mostly McDonalds & Wawa subs) 5-6x a week. As of right now, I am early in my weight loss journey and its just something that I don't want to eat. Cooking and preparing my own food is working for me just fine at the moment. I know that I will eventually eat fast food again, but as a recovering binge eater its just dangerous territory for me right now. I am not anti-fast food though, everything in moderation.

I haven't eaten fast food since 2008. Back then, I was just starting to transition from thoughtlessly eating industrial food to sticking with real food, and I hadn't eaten fast food for a while. I had to drive a long distance to a funeral of a close friend, and I was starving so I went to a Burger King drive through along the way. I ended up FARTING through the entire funeral - the embarrassment alone was enough to keep me away from fast food forever!

Last night I had BK and it was a Jr Whopper, No Ketchup or Mayo, No cheese, ad extra + more and then even more onions ( I LOVE onions). I got a small size fry and shared half with my son, my wife got the same thing as me and shared half of her fry with our daughter. We got home at 3am and no way did I feel like cooking, I was ready for bed way before that but was stuck driving in not moving traffic for freeway construction.

2 weeks ago I had Panda Express for lunch and it was a 2 entree 1 side meal with both parts Orange chicken with Brown rice, I shared half with my son and my wife got the exact same and shared half with our daughter.

I don't feel bad about it, I used to eat fast food probably 6+ times a week for a long time. Since starting here on May 8th I've ate out at Red Robin for Mothers day, 2 times at Panda Express and once at Burger King. From it being my everyday meal plan to my food for when Its just too late too cook, in the middle of nowhere traveling or it just sounds good (Which it does, I'm not gonna lie), I feel alright with it.

Me and my husband swore off sodas and fast food on june 10th. He's not the one that needs to but he is doing it to help me. It definately helps when your other half is so supportive.

I had some Wendy's two weeks ago.

Before that I think it had been months.

Usually, it might be 2x per month. Although you caught me. I just went to Taco Bell on Wednesday. If I'm going to fall for any fast food, it'll be Taco Bell or ChikFilA.

Edit: Unless you count Which Wich as fast food. It sorta is I guess in a sandwich shop sort of way. I did have that this week, too. Sandwich shoppes are probably a 1x per week thing for me but I usually hit the smaller mom/pop type & tend to find fresher & healthier options!

OOh I forgot about Chinese food! I could really go for some of that

Why don't you just eat some real, non-fast food (read: non-fake) Chinese food?

No fast food in about three months, no pizza in a month and a half.....I really only miss pizza, mainly because I still get it for my kids occasionally so I get to smell it while I eat my healthy dinner.

And some real non-fast food pizza?

I haven't had fast food in about 8 months, but I have had burgers and pizza. It's not the shape of the food that makes it junk, it's the quality.

Two and a half months and counting with no fast food, not even pizza! The longer I go the less I miss it!!! YEAH!!!!!! and I feel great.

I had a Chinese about 3 weeks ago. Earlier this week I came home and my housemate and her friends had ordered Chinese, so I had some chips and prawn crackers that were left. The other day I got a chip batch as well.

I hardly ever get takeaways. Probably a couple of times a year. I used to go to the chippy quite a lot though, although the new house is nowhere near a chip shop.

So fancy gourmet pizza dripping in olive oil is ok... hmmm :P

Sure, if you wanna make it that way, why not? I would personally forego the dripping part.

I had some yesterday. Before that it had been some months as I usually don''t patronize those places.

Yesterday I had a Chicken Shish Kebab with salad, no sauce, it was good (fresh) but very filling. Prior to that I've been getting cravings for Chips, but have not succumb.
Last week my husband bought home for me King Prawn Fried rice and we shared a portion of Salt and Pepper Fish - it was nice but not great.
