Ht. 5ft 5in, Wt. 155 - Hey evryone. I've finally figured out how to let go of the food that is unhealthy for you. *Remeber, this may not work for you* I finally decided to nix nearly all of the unhealthy fodd that I used to eat. I happened to watch the documentary Supersize Me one day, and I now say no to ALL fast food (McD's, TacoBell, BurgerKing, etc.) If I eat out, I eat as healthy as possible (Like a chef saldad with olive oil and a whole wheat roll) Even at school. I go to a private school so we have yougurt, fruit, side salads, stuff like that available EVERY day. I make sure to eat one of those with my lunch. And also, I eat only untill I'm satisfied. If I'm eating out, I put my napkin on my plate when I'm done to stop myself from eating any more. I make sure to eat a snack inbetween meals, and nothing after dinner. I've let go of the chips, the pop-tarts, anything that won't help my body. I do however, indulge in a sweet every so often. I used to eats sweets every day. Now, I indulge in sweets maybe once every week. I've lost most of my appetite for unhealthy foods, and my favorite, chocolate because I've finally realized that I'm the only one who can make a change in my eating habits, no matter what my friends are eating, and no matter what my family is eating. I know that I can do this, and it's why I'm doing it and doing it well. BTW, I haven't eaten chocolate for two whole weeks, and I don't miss it. If you have any questions, or if you need more motivation, post a reply here, or E-mail me at SerenityISC@aol.com I'll be back! Remember, health is a life long journey, not a quick fix.
