No fast food challenge - May

@MadDog - Good to hear that your week is going well! We're almost halfways through this month!

Hi annko65! You're not too late, you're welcome to join!

In fact, I will continue this challenge in June because I feel great not eating any junk food!

@Golliath - That's awesome! Do you experience any advantages? Is it hard to keep going, or easy?

@Ewatts & Jimervin - You're welcome to join. I started this challenge myself around the mid of April, so you can start now too. Nowadays I like to just take challenges when I feel motivated for them instead of waiting for a "perfect moment" to start (like the start of a year/month/week). I used to do that and it did not make much sense - whenever I failed in my goal I would have to wait for another of those moments to start over. That doesn't make much sense, does it? Better start now - if you're motivated, that is!

Good luck!

@Ewatts - Is the homemade pizza completely homemade, or just a frozen pizza but into the oven? If the first, you could also add more vegetables on the pizza and/or add a salad. That way you make it into a healthy meal. I don't consider such a meal junk food or fast food. About the ordered pizza, yeah I would replace that too.
I ate pizza 2-3 times per week myself and *never* cooked a meal for myself. Now that I never make pizza I cook about everyday and it's great for my health in many ways! This is not only because I cut out the junk food, but also because I replaced it with healthy foods.
For example I sometimes bake some chicken for myself for lunch, but then I add 5-7 different types of vegetables so I have a really varied meal. Probably you also eat a lot of vegetables, and by the way, who am I to tell you to eat your vegetables . But it's new for me to cook in this way and I am enthusiastic about it!

Sorry for not responding for a week. I did read your comments and it's great to see everyone's having so much success!

May is almost over so it's time to look back - I'm sure you'll manage to avoid fast food the next 3 days! Here's some questions to consider:

1. Where you successful so far?
2. What benefits did you experience?
3. When was it difficult and when was it easy?
4. What will you do next month(s)? Will you add another month to this challenge?
5. If so, what will your goals be for June?
6. If not, what lifestyle changes do you want to keep? How will you make sure that the lifestyle changes you've made will stick?

For me:
1. Yes, I was 100% successful in avoiding fast food and a lot more often I ate healthy meals.
2. I feel more energetic, healthy, I lost a good amount of weight and I've saved some money.
3. It was easy for me most of the time. The only times it was a bit more difficult was when I was in the supermarket while being super hungry. Still it helped me that I had this challenge - junk food was no option!
4. I will add another month to this challenge!
5. Same as this month.
6. I'll continue so I'll stick with my lifestyle in this way.

For those who want to continue: I'll create a group that you can join!
