You can also watch all the super obese shows on discovery health, that always makes me not want to eat.
Not true. Those that eat fast food as a good portion of their meals normally eat maybe 2 meals a day. A surplus of calories = weight gain, period. Fast food is high calorie and fatty which means your body will most likely store a portion of it as fat (unless your body is just burning off everything you eat because of high metabolism or because of a deficit in calories). So if you aren't eating a lot in a given day (regardless of what type of food it is), you won't gain significant amounts of fat. That doesn't mean that you are treating your body optimally and aren't slowly clogging your arteries though. Like Dana said, your diet shouldn't be dictated by your weight solely. It's a knowledge of nutrition that's important.It's interesting to note that most people I know who regularly eat fast food are skinny or average at most. I also know a lot of people who are overweight and never even touch fast food. I really don't think that fast food is a cause of obesity in of itself as much as genetics. I think the conceptions of fast food necessarily causing obesity is skewed by the media which is largely anti-corporation.
I forgot:
Go rent the movie "Super Size It"... you may never eat fast food again.

Yeah, last time I was in an airport and had a layover I got mcdonalds to eat and I had a big mac and looked at the nutrion info and I so badly wanted to go throw it up. Never again never ever again am I going to read nutrion information on fast food.wow, i used to be addicted to fast food, and i've totally beat my addiction. I never eat fast food anymore. I also used to love that beautiful Ultimate cheeseburger, until i saw the nutrition information for it, and then it made me feel a bit sick.
the ultimate cheese burger has 1010 calories and 71 grams of fat!
and then if you add curly fries to it, which i always did. Thats 550 calories and over 30 grams of fat. That is more calories in one meal than i eat in a whole day now.
I've never been like really fat, which is surprising when i look back at the way i used to eat. I am a bit overweight, but i like to keep my curves. .
I've lost about 25 pounds since i quit eating fast food.
I'm still addicted to food in general, but now i only put healthy things in my body.
That, or informing yourself that it will kill you- which is how I quit eating bread
Whole grain breads are great for you.
not for ME

Find some mints. Eat them.
Ever tried having one of those cheese burgers after a strong mint? Not something I'd like to repeat.
Thinking about it that works for most things... except smoking.. tried that.
My suggestion: go to McDonald's one more time, and keep this in mind while you're there:
Observe the temperature and texture. Realize that by the time you finish it, parts of it are room temperature. Why? Because you are eating lard. No. Seriously. Imagine putting the thing in boiling water and seeing it dissolve into a pearly, translucent, bubbling and popping layer of thick grease. Like a cross between gravy and Elmer's paste.
Next, take in the smell. You know what that is? That's the smell of dead, dehydrated blood cells. Take another long whiff. Remember it. Keep it in the back of your mind. It will smell exactly the same after your body is done processing it. In fact, your post-bodily-process-product will smell just like that if you didn't eat it at all.
If that doesn't help, then just enjoy. Enjoy your salty, congealed grease pie, layered with unidentifiable yellow melted waxy substance, that smells like poop. I can only imagine that you were something akin to an Ouroboros during the Olestra era.
how'd i do?
