in Motivation and Support
I have a severe addiction to fast foods. I sometimes stop w/o even realizing it and I order two sandwiches and eat like a pregnant cow on hormones. I want to do a 31 day october challenge where myself and others will not eat any fast foods for 31 full days! this way it will help to break the bad habit of eating out. I will allow one emergency fast food "lifeline" that can only be used you know.. when no other options are available and food needs to be eaten. Elimination will occur once that "lifeline" has been used and fast food has been eaten more than once. Just seeing if anyone wants to join in or support b/c either way with others or solo this needs to be done and my eating habits must change!

    I'm nervous -- because fast food is like a crutch to me -- but I so want to break this cycle! I will try it with you! Maybe knowing I have one "free pass" to use in an emergency will help.

    So ... fast food free starting tomorrow! :o)

    Peace,
    Loree

    I really need to stop consuming maccas on a weekly basis, i usually grab it with the bf as an easy option as breaky before uni starts. Whilst also trying to cut my spending i think this is what i need!

    You should watch that movie Super Size Me & maybe you will be grossed out enough that you will be able to easily stop eating fast food. It really is pretty yucky when you think about it..

    I can try! Coming from the girl that ate chick-fil-a for dinner. >< but I did opt for the grilled rather than fried...I guess it still wouldn't count though.

    Count me in! This will be my first challenge so please tell me what I am responsible to do. Do I just log in every day and tell you if I went or not? or... Do I only speak up if I eat out? Does this mean I can go to a sit down restaurant but not McD's or BK type places? Thanks! Great idea! :)

    OOh I'm in IF I can still get my sugar free soy latte....that isn't a cheeseburger!

    Also, are we saying NO eating out at all? I like to go sit down with my hubby and we do have work functions...


    We can beat the fast food cravings!!!! And save the money to buy something really fantastic at the end! :bigsmile:

    Even better than watching "Super-size Me" would be to get a job at one of the fast-pseudo-food places. After a week, you will never eat it again! PROMISE!!! Some of the stuff that goes on in the back of the house, the part you cannot see from the counter can get pretty bad.
