I've also heard it said that food you get through the drive-up window is not healthful in general. Can anyone give me a good tip to get past food cravings. My mom told me to just order a kids' meal but that hasn't worked most of the time, I go to place my order and I end up without the willpower to do that. Which is part of the reason why I decided to just not go there -literally. I am also missing out on job opportunities because of my weight. Can you tell I'm discouraged and frustrated.


Thank you all,

Elyse,
I have lost over 85 pounds so far. I'm a completely different person due to the weight loss. I am happier, more energetic, more outgoing. I'm trying new things -- new foods, new activities, new everything. I will be more than happy to talk to you. PM me if interested in support and ideas. I learned a lot along the way. My husband has lot 85 pounds as well.
