My philosophy is weaning off and finding a replacement for that nostalgia. Is there something else that conjures up some wonderful childhood memories? Perhaps if you can capture what it is about the whole experience and replicate it in a healthier fashion.

Maybe just gradually taper off. Like go down to once a week....

It is easy to drive thru fast food places, esp when you have pain froM standing and cooking or it's just you.

When you get close to McDonalds think of it this way a fish and fries is 1100 calories almost a person entire intake of one calories for one day, Maybe try subway with a lot of veggies,

Maybe a grilled chicken from chic fila.

Habits are hard ton break but we all can do it. It's like going to the grocery store and the cookies are a BOGO item or other junk,mots hard for me not to buy them. If I do, I eat them. Habit need to be broken.

You can do it. When you look at McDonalds, imagine it's a glob of fat laying along the road, LOL might work

Haha excellent analogy :) I will think of that glob and picture it as "Fat-Donald's"

Thanks guys :-)

Meal prep is the key. Try making your own burgers like turkey or chicken ones and freezing them. If you know you're going to eat one for supper the next day take it out of the freezer the night before. Have everything ready and planned a day ahead.

If you have a bad addiction the buddy system works good too. A food addiction is so similar to a drug addiction, Having someone you can call at anytime to let them know what your feeling and talk you out of it can help. Having that support can be very comforting.

Sometimes I can tapper of bad food choices, and sometimes I have to go cold turkey. Figure out which one works for you and then go with it.

Have some veggie burgers in the freezer and dress them up like McDonalds.

For me I have to sometimes consciously drive a different route than I normally would in order to not pass my favorite fast food places. Especially, if i am in a mood where I'm really craving them. Sometimes it is out of my way or uses more gas, but its probably the same as what i would pay for that burger or etc. I may call someone to talk on the phone to so I don't notice the places as much. Also, when all those stupid fast food coupons come in the mail i through them straight in the trash...it's like they stalk you!! :) haha. Hope this helps!

oh and one more thing sometimes i have sat in the parking lot and looked up the menu online on my phone and the calorie count for what i would get...then that would help me make a better choice

Thanks for the suggestions
