Well, 8 1/2 weeks ago, I started another biggest loser group. As part of my action steps, I decided to not eat fast food ( this did not count diet coke, that is something I will have to tackle down the road ) ( second disclaimer: I did not include healthy fast food, ie: Subway, in this exclusion). Well, today, I was on my way home from a meeting and decided to stop for a diet coke and was really hungry so I slipped up on my action step and ordered a burger. Now, in 8 1/2 weeks, I have not been a completely healthy eater but I have stuck to my no fast food rule pretty close. As I was eating the burger, I was thinking "Wow, this is really gross!" Half way through the burger, I thought, " I can't eat this but I insisted to myself that I used to love these, I'm sure it will start to taste better". No, it did not taste better, not to mention, afterwards, I had this huge rock in the bottom of my stomach. Ever notice you only feel the bottom of your stomach when you put bad things in your body? I admit, I am week and I have a lot to work on still but this gives me hope that if I work on things one at a time, slowly, my body will continue to want the things that are good for it and abhor the things that are not good for it. I would much rather have my homemade southwest turkey burger with avocados on it than that gross burger from "you know where". Next 10 weeks, I might tackle the diet coke:/
