[ health ] :: the time we gave up fast food

I am a fast food addict. I swear, I probably drive through somewhere at least once a week because I forget to eat and get to the point where I am starving.

My typical fast food orders are mostly for soda (did I mention I'm a Diet Coke addict, too?) and Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers - no mayo. Oh, and I love Egg McMuffins.

Mmm...so yummy, and so unhealthy.

So I have challenged myself to give up fast food for the month of September. We'll see how this goes. Although it will challenge my willpower, I think it will go well since I will have to plan ahead for snacks and think about when I will eat.

I'm defining fast food restaurants as places where you typically drive through to order. Or delivery (like pizza), even though we don't order in very often. Walk-in places, like Moe's or sub shops don't count. While more expensive, they are much healthier and The Hubs and I still need somewhere to go out to lunch together once a week. (Don't worry, I usually have a coupon for our little day dates.)

So, can we I do it?

Lord, please give me willpower.
