    The only bad thing is you will only feel worse after you eat it! That's usually what happens to me lol. We want it even more when we know we shouldn't have it.

    Would it be bad if you made your own? Lean ground beef is okay, no? You could control the calories by choosing your own toppings and that would help to get rid of the cravings I would think.

    Eat it, log it, move on. Make sure to fit it into your daily allotment, and don't stress it :)

    This. This is a lifestyle, not a diet. Eat one, log it and move on. (just go somewhere where you know exactly what the calories are). No big deal. Deprivation only leads to quitting.

    I ate one, Jack in the box, about 3 days ago and still lost 2 pnds this week! Im not saying do it every week! But once in a while is not going to derail you. And if you continue to deny yourself the craving will get worse. Drink lots of water and try to work it into your calories for the day!!! It can be done. MODERATION is key!

    So true...I am trying really hard. I feel like anytime I have something even slightly bad my body holds onto it for a week. I don't know if I still have a slower metabolism or what but I just don't burn off the bad quickly.

    I also really think thier is something to the zig zagging of calories. I was at a platue for about two weeks. Took the suggestion to zig zag and BAM! the pounds starting coming off again.

    I understand. Sometimes I want a Wendy's single with cheese and NOTHING else will do. When it gets that bad, I just do it and behave the rest of the day.

    I agree with the ppl that say eat one. Make it at home and enjoy. Log it and exercise. I eat what I want (within reason) and exercise. It's been working for me so far. Just don't go over board. Everything in moderation.

    I agree with everyone else who says eat one! I've never been able to stick to anything cause I would let the cravings get the better of me. You can't deprive yourself of cheeseburgers for the rest of your life!! The other day I was craving Taco Bell like mad so I went and got what I was craving for. I had behaved myself so well that day that I was still under my calorie goal and I was happy cause I had Taco Bell.

    You'll probably hold onto the sodium for a couple of days (so don't weigh yourself). Just drink A BUNCH of water over the next couple of days.
