My favurite foods are fast food: mcdonalds, wendys and kfc. I used to try not to eat whatever I felt like but for the past 6 months I have been indulging every night after school I go into mcdonalds and order a quarter pounder and large fries or sometimes a big mac. I am eating about 6 packets of potato chips a day and they taste awesome but I dont look awesome. I dont want to end up like my mom who is about 400 pounds and dead overweight. I am starting to get a massive belly that sticks out like hers and loads of rolls of fat. help me before its too late and i am as fat as my mom

Remember when you see junk food just remember your goal (maybe put a picture on you wallet).

I was also raised on McDonalds and KFC and all that good stuff. Now I can't stand the sight of most of them. It may help to have really negative associations with these places. Eat a Big Mac while staring at a picture of a dirty toilet or having fried chicken while looking at cockroaches. I ended up having to do something similar to break my addiction. (And I'm down 30 pounds from my highest weight!)
