Fast food is delicious. Just cut back to a few times a week and eat low cal options.

I've found cooking every meal, 3-5 times a day is brutal, and demotivating. What I do now with the woman, is prep and precook most things every Sunday night for the whole week. Portion it into containers, and you're good to go.
It's good fun with your partner, helps you with portion control, helps your budget(you're bulk making meals), helps eating healthy(home cooking instead of fast food), and to be honest the food is just better quality and tastes better. Haven't eaten fast food in close to 2 years, just recently made the switch to vegetarian as well - loving it.

Just like any type of addiction, being addicted to food is hard to overcome. Although not easy, it's perfectly possible to overcome food addiction on your own. It may sound a little weird, but this is the best way to deal with food addiction. You can actually use this method for any addiction:
Every time you feel the urge to eat fast food, say to yourself things like...
These sentences are just examples. It's important that the things you say to yourself are your real thoughts. They have to be your actual thoughts that make get fast food.
EVERY TIME you feel the urge to eat fast food, you have to confront yourself with your addiction, embarress your thoughts. Notice how ridiculous it is to be addicted to something. If you do this as much as possible, you will ealize you have the power to change anything you want in your life.
Become aware of the thoughts that make you want to eat fast food. They are not rational. Come on, say for yourself, why wouldn't you be able to eat healthy? Why do those thoughts make you eat fast food every time again? Those thoughts are toxic. They keep you addicted. Basically, those thoughts are the addiction. You need to get rid of them in order to overcome any addiction. You have to accept that you're addicted. Acceptance is easy, all you have to do is just not deny the fact that you're addicted. You can not start overcoming addiction without acceptance. Realize that you are the ONLY person that can and will help you. Not because other people don't WANT to help you, but because they CAN'T help you. You're on your own. Nobody but YOU can help you overcome your addiction. Decide to start eating healthy. Decide to start today. And don't just decide to start today, but actually START TODAY. Tomorrow may be too late. Today's the only day you can work with, so start today.
Hopefully, this post has helped anyone struggling with any type of addiction. I will be glad If I help just one person, even if I help just a little bit, because ''a little bit'' is all I can do.
To the brave people that have decided to take control again, I would like to say this:
As long as your desire to overcome addiction is bigger than your urge, you'll overcome addiction. You don't need to see a specialist. You need to see yourself. You don't need a doctor telling you overweight is dangerious. You need to hear it from yourself. If you believe in yourself, I'm sure you can overcome addiction. You won't succeed because you can, but because you must. Good luck!
Every time you feel the urge to eat fast food, say to yourself things like...
- ''I am addicted to fast food. The media is right about the fast food chains putting addictive stuff in my food. It's not my fault.''
- ''Yes, I do eat at KFC every day, but that's just a financial strategy to save some money. It's recession, you know.'
- ''I want to eat at Wendy's tonight. But that's probably just because I like fast food more than veggies.''
- ''I feel like I'm getting addicted to french fries.... Nah, ridiculous idea. Probably it's a placebo effect or something like that.''
- ''I need to eat fast food in order to function properly during the day. I don't want to risk losing my job.'
- ''I am extremely addicted to fast food. Maybe I don't really care about being healthy, but that's just a personal lifestyle choice.''
- ''I don't care about heart attacks. They are comparable with headaches, as I've heard.''
- ''I will start eating healthy tomorrow, even though I know that I say the same thing every day again.'' keep saying that every day.''
These sentences are just examples. It's important that the things you say to yourself are your real thoughts. They have to be your actual thoughts that make get fast food.
EVERY TIME you feel the urge to eat fast food, you have to confront yourself with your addiction, embarress your thoughts. Notice how ridiculous it is to be addicted to something. If you do this as much as possible, you will ealize you have the power to change anything you want in your life.
- When you're at home and you feel even the slightest urge to eat fast food, go to a mirror. Look yourself in your eyes and say what you think. Keep looking yourself in the eyes. Keep saying the thoughts that make you want to eat fast food.
- If you're not at home, ''say'' your thoughts in your mind.

Don't do it for the ''present you''. Do it for the ''you'' in the future. He will be thankful. You will be thankful.

Neither of that is an excuse. Fast food restaurants aren't always the fastest, self-service restaurants can be just as fast. Also if you don't have time to eat proper food, why don't you just stay at home and order any meal?

The same happens to me, I took a lot of weight in the last 3 months I did before a lot of sports and I do not now, my problem has been the work and lack of motivation in sport, my head just think program.
