The first time I lived in Florida I practically lived off fast food (mainly Burger King and Wendy's, because they were right around the corner from my apartment complex). Due to my crappy eating habits, no exercising, and drinking far too much, I gained about 20 pounds over a 5 month period. When I moved back to Connecticut at the end of my internship, I put myself on a sort of "diet" (small, restrictive lunch and breakfast and a normal dinner, practically no alcohol, etc.), part of which was NO FAST FOOD. I quit cold turkey and although over the years I have eaten the stuff maybe once a month on average, that's only when I am traveling and have no other choice or when I'm just really craving it for whatever reason. And when I do eat it, I feel awful afterward. Anyway, sorry for the novel, but I just wanted to second that quitting fast food cold turkey really is the way to go!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239580042161761524noreply@blogger.com
