I just can't do it

Shame on you:laugh:
First of all, you need to change a word that you are using. The word "CAN"T" is your problem. You can do this. You have to be strong. Remember why you are here, to make a lifestyle change, to be healthier. You will do this. Don't ever let me hear CAN"T come out of your mouth young lady.
That kind of talk always works on my 3 and 13 year old. I hope it will work for you.
Be strong and it will get easier as time goes by.

The easiest solution is simply to not buy it. And it saves you money! Or, if you go, get a grilled chicken salad with light dressing. No one's making you get fast food, you just have to practice self discipline.

I feel like I do good for breakfast and lunch, but then dinner rolls around and I ALWAYS screw up! Yesterday my boyfriend and I had burger king, and I promised myself I wouldn't have fast food today. And then I had wendy's for dinner. I don't even know why I eat the crap, it literally makes me feel like crap and its not even that good. ughhh, I'm never going to get into shape if I keep doing this. And to top it all off the elliptical I bought isn't even nice, I payed 153 dollars for it, and it doesn't have magnetic resistance and it squeaks like crazy. Sorry to complain so much, I just needed to let that all out.

I do the same exact thing and i have come to the conclusion that theres no way around eating the delicious greasy fast food so what i do is i get kid meals so i at least get smaller portions and get yummy food!!! Like at Mcdonalds i get chicken nugget happy meals and it only has 290 cals for the whole meal. So if you cant resist eat it but eat smaller portions!!! its helped me!!!

I've had the same problem for the past two days - but my problem is the "faculty room"! Today, they brought in those little decorative cookies that are 130 calories each! Yikes! I try like heck to avoid the faculty room, but since I have a student teacher I feel like I need to be more sociable. So the plan for tomorrow is: veggie sticks! Hopefully that will cure my need for crunch!

Another idea is to tell people what you're doing so that hopefully they'll be more sensitive to your goals and won't suggest places like Burger King - McDonald's has some good salad options (but I always end up bumming a couple of fries from my kids - I guess that's okay as long as it's not a whole pack of fries).
Good luck and keep the goal in sight!

YOU CAN DO IT! You are here, right, so you want help. You have your mind set on it, but we all have setbacks. There is this book, I think it is called Eat This, Don't Eat That or Eat This, Not That. Basically it lists tons of restaurant chains and gives you the healthier choices to make when faced with that decision. It helped me so much, since we are empty nesters and I am NO cook. We eat out alot and I found it helped me make smarter, educated decisions. We bought the book at Barnes and Noble but I am sure you could google it and find it online somewhere.

Good Luck and when you fall, get right back up again.

I did see that movie supersize me, that was so disgusting!! I don't know why it didn't make me not want fast food anymore. I should take that movie into consideration!!

The book "fast food nation" is a little higher on the gross-out-scale, so if you're looking for that sort of thing, I recommend it.

:ohwell: There is tomarrow keep trying........I would think that these fast food places would have healthier choices. If not then perhaps ask your boyfriend to be supportive by going to some place that has a salad bar . Even better get him to eat healthy with you and hit the grocier store and cook a meal together. :flowerforyou: You can do it . Don't give up.
