Addicted to Fast food

[Lindsey]

Again with the portion control But instead of just eating 3 meals a day, it actually speeds up your metabolism to eat many small meals throughout the day. Breakfast is very important obviously, so make breakfast the big meal and then eat a small healthy snack between each mealtime and keep the other meals light as well. You won't feel so hungry if you let yourself have little snacks, and if you pair it up with exercise it does wonders!
I know a lot of people turn to fast food because it's convenient, it's fast! A lot of times I keep a bunch of fruit and veggies already cut up in my fridge so when I'm hungry I can just grab some of that and eat it. I'm not overweight but I can really tell the difference in my mood and energy levels when I'm eating healthy as opposed to eating junk for every meal!

I love junk food, and just yesterday, had my every 2 or 3 week McDonald's meal. Like Janet said, we're both doing WW and doing well on it.

Pearl's method is also good - WW gives you about 6 points for a small, plain fast food burger, which isn't bad at all.

Good luck with it. The hardest part of a good eating plan is to begin.

You certainly have us to empathize with you and support you!

One thing i wanted to point out is ...do you get fast food for the taste or just because it is so much easier to get a drive by burger than to find something healthy, cook and eat? I find many times that i have trouble not getting fast food or junk food just because i don't want to go through the "what am I going to cook" hassle. I love to cook but i hate digging through the freezer to find something.

Definitely! Now I keep really easy, precooked dinners at home so that I don't have that as an excuse anymore.

But, I do love the taste too!
