I did it!!! I drove passed KFC and cooked my own dinner!!!

Congratulations to you! The small steps equal big rewards.

I rarely eat fast food, especially now. But my son was eating chicken nuggets from McD.... and I ate like 3. And ended up puking. My stomach totally rejected them. So since then, I steer clear of fast/greasy foods. It will get easier. The same for soda, one drink, makes my tummy hurt.

I completly understand how hard that can be. HUGE Congrats to you!!!!

I know that is hard. Food is a tough addiction cuz we need it to live. We have to balance it into our lives safely. Good for u. U mustfeel empowered and motivated to continue kicking fast food to the curb. U may consider treating urself once a week in order to prevent feelings of deprivation though. I personally prefer dangelo grilled chix and veggie pita pocket to kfc. It tastes better and feels better. After a while of no fast food ur body may just not crave it anymore, because it doesnt provide many nutrients. Anyways... Im reall happy for u.

That is awesome, you should be very proud of yourself! It'll get easier the more you do it! Keep up the good work!

That is so great!! Congratulations! You should be really proud of yourself.

Awesome! I have learned, that Sunday afternoon, I have to literally plan and prepare my food for the week. It makes it much easier for me to stay on track. I boil 24 eggs, peel them, and have them in baggies in the fridge now, for a quick snack. Or to throw in my bag for breakfast. I have found that one of my problems, was probably not eating enough protien.

I also have issues with wanting to duck my exercise class, I just don't really like exercise. I had a bad day yesterday, just felt tired and cranky. The last thing I wanted to do was go lift weights. I now put my self on "auto pilot", no thinking, just do it. I went, and felt very good.

Good job!

I'm always revolted by fast food a month or so into healthy eating. I can no longer even go through the drive through at McDonalds to get my unsweet tea because the smell makes me nauseous.

Great job! Give yourself a pat on the back!

I totally get this struggle. Excellent job!!!!!

Nice job! It is huge in the early days to consciously choose not to eat fast food. Now, I honestly don't have to even think about it. Of *course* I'm not going to go for McDonald's or KFC. I really just don't eat that stuff anymore.

You can try to find healthier fast options though. Panera has some great salads, and many grocery stores have salad bars.

Best of luck on your journey.

That's not only huge for you, that's huge for your kids, too! It's easy to get in that habit of "convenience" and teach that to our kids. Now they see you making smart choices, no matter the situation, and it will help them make smarter choices as they grow up. That's probably the best gift you can give them even if they don't think so now! You've got this I went from eating fast food 3x / day (gross I know) and now I only eat it when there is no other choice. It's a hard lifestyle to give up, but your health (and wallet) will thank you!

Great job! Congratulations to you! Keep up the great work. Eventually, you'll feel comfortable with the balance and be able to just enjoy it once in a while. Cooking at home is healthier, and much more affordable in the long run. Plus, you're setting a great example for those kids! You should feel very proud!!

What a wonderful Success Story. So well written. You ARE awsome! Just think of the money you saved $$$ and being an awsome mommy for cooking for the kiddos too! I am doing a happy dance for you and sending all my "I'm so proud of you" energy your way!

hell yeah dood!
i was at training for my new job and they had muffins and candy and i didnt eat one piece. i felt so good afterwards so i know how excited you must feel.
