Today I drove up to spend a few days with my parents and Sweet Pea. This is normally the prime time for me to have fast food. Whether I am hungry or not. It was just what I did. I have not eaten much fast food lately which surely has been a big part of my recent weight loss. Trips like this were the exception. Their are four or five places on my normal route and I would drive through one of them. I would plan it in my head and it would be my little treat. I woke up today with the same plan.
I was driving down the highway and came up to HWY Q and right as I was getting ready to signal to get off I just said out loud Nope. Guess what? I did not miss it at all. Come to think of it a lot of what I do in terms of eating is purely out of habit.
I am slowly starting to break some of my 25 year habits. For the first time ever I have actually started to cook just a little bit. I can already make a mean bowl of pasta. With a little tip from my little brother who is a cooking genius I made the best thing I have ever been a part of last week. It was baked skinless chicken breast with asparagus jammed through the middle. For the first time since Jenny Craig I really feel like I am locked into getting this done this time. Last time after just a few weeks I was maniacal about it. Well I know it will not be as "easy" this time. It will happen.
I went 15 months the last time without any contact at all with fast food. Let this streak officially begin.
