Fast food cravings

Just wanted to share an awesome strategy that my friend at the gym shared with me . . .

I really have a tough time passing up fast food or just eating out in general (especially after a long day at work!) so this friend of mine suggested to say to myself "well, I will go there tomorrow if I still want it that badly" and then the next day comes and I have either totally forgotten or I simply no longer have the desire to eat there.

It's just something that works well for me and it helps me get past those darn impulse cravings! :smile:

    I may have to try that, but I'm afraid my craving for Arby's might last for days on end!

    If I'm really craving some fast food, I'll make a point to go out and pass by the place that I"m craving, then go home and have something healthy. It works for me, and I like going out for a short drive during the day if I'm bored!

    I love fast food!!!! I have done really good giving it up, but if I find myself there, I get the smallest burger and fries!

    I am a newbie here, but from past weight loss...I always try to keep snacks in the car. Usually the desire for fast food is when I am hungry and I am driving home from some place. Also as a Christian I have a hard time fasting for spiritual reasons....so the little things like denying my fast food stop...not going to that garage sale. ect...I offer up.
