Welcome to the group. I am seriously trying as of now to break the habit of eating fast foods. Not only can I not afford it but it's really huring my weight loss program. I have been trying to lose weight for over 2 years with no success. Food addiction is one thing, but now that I am learning what things actually are problematic for me I am going to attack them head on.
it's so tempting to stop and grab a burger when my stomach feels empty. It sucks that there are so many fast foods everywhere and all I can smell is the grease cooking and it makes me want to stop!
A month ago I stopped eating fast food for 14 days and although I ate a bit more at home, I saved some money and my stools become more regular (TMI but it's true)
Please introduce yourself and your story!

Over the last year, fast food became a huge part of my life! Being away at university makes it a lot harder not to eat out. However, I am eating way more at home and feeling way better! I still find myself very tempted though! Trying to break the habit!0

I work in fast food and can get it free whenever I want it.
Been saying no a lot but it can be quite hard.0 -

ive delt with weight issues my whole life, but the worst of them came 3 years ago. i had my second child and i actually lost the weight, 70lbs from october 2008 till january 2009, so in two months lost all my baby weight, then i got stressed, ive always had a food addiction and it came out when i started getting down and stressed it was my comfort. but within that year january 2009- december 2009 i gained ALL my baby weight that i had lost back full force i went from 130 to 200 that year. Once i seen that scale hit 200 i knew i needed to change, and i did. i mananged to lose 50 lbs before spring that coming year. yey me i wasnt exactly happy about 150 but i was deffinatly satisfyied with that much weight gone. well i went back my old ways after all that when yet again things started to sink down hill for me, but since last year i only gained about 25lbs i started mfp at 173 (well when i really commited myself to it) i actually started about a year ago:frown: always had my gaining of weight on my mind, but since the end of october i knew i need to get back to healthy!! so i dont keep goin up and up and up again! well ive managed to lose 8lbs, i know i need to do this for myself, my clothes no longer are fitting again, i dont feel pretty, i hate my body sooo much, i need to turn this around so i can feel sexy again. my biggest problem now is fast food, all my husband eats is fast food but he cant gain a pound he does try, i loooove fast food and have the hardest time when i know theres a chance ill get to go, shame on me:ohwell: , but im workin as hard as i can because i know i can do it!! this is my story0

I use to be a fast food junkie but over the years and after Gastric Bypass Surgery I learned how to not eat fast foods. Over the past 2 years I have slowly re-introduced fast foods back into my life. I have been doing good so far but I can always do better.
I hope some of you join me in March fast food challenge!0 -
Hi! My name is Kate. I was glad to find this group, what a great idea!! I've discovered that despite having little to no money I've been wasting money (and gaining weight!) by ordering out Chinese or going to McD's instead of walking to the grocery store and getting healthier food. This has been a severe drain on my finances and part of my spending problem. I must stop this spending! And to top it off, I'm down to 189 from 303 and eating junk food will only make me gain the weight back!0
