    Love it! I haven't had fast food in about a week and I am loving it.

    Ha ha! Great! Isn't it unbelievable how many people line up to actually PAY for that stuff when it is so clearly, dangerously unhealthy! ... nice to know however, that there can be at least a few reasonable alternatives though even in @ fast food /drive-in's e.g. Subway 6" on whole grain -- turkey, honey mustard w/ lots of vegetable/salad

    Well said. I haven't given it up completely, but my fast food lunch today was a grilled chicken salad from Sonic with a lemon wedge instead of dressing. It was good and only 310 calories. But, no more fries or cheeseburgers. YUCK!

    Awesome post! :drinker:

    I still have to have a Steak 'n Shake cheeseburger once every couple of months, but I work it into my calorie limits for the day. Other than that I never eat fast food and rarely ever go out to a restaurant.

    AMEN! I've been trying to dump fast food for a while...I'm so sick of the lies!! They try to convince me that they have healthy options because there's a salad on the menu...I know better now. Those salads sometimes have more calories than the burgers (thanks in large part to the dressing). I just won't deal with it anymore. The one thing that I can't shake are the beverages. I LOVE soda, tea, coffee (especially flavored and blended drinks), shakes, etc. I drive 45 mins one way to work and it's SO hard not to stop every day for some delicious drink. :-/ That's my next battle!
    Good luck! I hope you and fast food have a clean break. ;-)

    Thanks- I needed to read this. There's a McD half a block from my work that just keeps calling my name but you are so right- it's not worth it!
