So I've been thinking a lot about why I used to eat the way I did. I drove by Long John Silver's today and briefly felt a longing to eat there. Then I asked myself, "Why?" It was then I realized that fast food and any junk food was easy. I didn't have to worry about the protein content. I didn't count how many calories the food contained. I would chug a 32oz soda and never once think about how much fluid I still needed for the day. It was easier to give in than to work hard for what I really desired: a thin, healthy body. There are foods I do actually miss the taste of, but for the most part, I just miss not having to work so hard to lose weight. I must say I am very proud of myself for having the strength to keep on driving past the fast food restaurants. I've lost 49lbs and I will NOT look back and miss who I used to be.

keep it up girl.... I know that sometimes I still crave a whopper and the smell of fried foods still puts me in a tizzy... but it is not worth it. grilled chicken & veggies are my life now :-)

Forty nine pounds is no joke, you've done wonderful. You've crossed over to the thin life. Congrats, hope I'll do just as well!

Thanks! Fried food makes me weak, too, but I've come too far. I weigh 193 and I never want to see 200 again!
