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, for a while I was "off" fast food. You want to know what I did? You may laugh but I looked up stories of peoples gross experiences at McDonald's and the like. It worked for me. I didn't eat it for about 2 months but because of the crazy semester I'm back to eating it again and I haven't be exercising at all. But yeah, basically just looked up gross stories and watched Supersize me.
