Fast Food Is
a Curse
Fast food in my child
hood was a once in a while sort of thing. Of course as a kid fast food is a
delight. We want it and we love it. I would not eat it often thou, but when I
would have it I would munch like a crazy child. My family’s fast food habits
were rare. They have never been big fans of eating out at fast food
places. We would only eat out on Sundays
after we would get out of morning mass. My mom has always loved cooking and she
is also very good at it so we usually ate at home all the time. As I always a
child we never really had a certain place to go eat. We would jump around from
Mexican Restaurants to Taco Bell’s, Carl’s Jr., or Burger King. We use to like
to try different places all the time. Sticking to one place was not an option
for our family. I remember always having
the desire of eating cheesy food. Anything with a lot of cheese was delicious
to me. At any fast food place we went my
usual meals were always any plates filled with melted cheese. When my parents
would take us out to eat fast food on Sundays I was such a happy kid. I use to
enjoy it so much, and it was not because of the family bonding time haha. I think all kids really love eating fast food. Happy meals and all that junk make kids
happy. I use to love eating fast food
but now it is all different. My eating
habits must change.
As a nineteen year old girl my
eating habits are not as good as I would want them to be. I do not rely on fast
food, I do not fean. I can go a couple of weeks without eating it and I will
not be craving it or anything like that. The only times I do eat it often is
when one of my very close friends comes from La Verne and we go eat to fast
food places all the time. After that it is kind of hard me to go back to start
eating my regular homemade meals because I am so use to eating out. Sometimes
when I am at work and I forget or I do not get a chance to make myself lunch at
home I tend to eat junk from work.
Anything they have at the supermarket kitchen from tacos to burritos,
chicken nuggets, potato fries I will get at times. After that I feel guilty
because I know that that is unhealthy food that I am putting in my body that I
do not need. I will like to really get away
a while from all that kind of food because I will love to be healthy. I
sometimes feel less energized after I have a fast food meal. I usually feel very sleepy and I know that
that is not a good sign of health. It has a part in my life in work and sometimes
in my social life when I hang out with friends.
My goal is to cut down to be healthier and save some money. (:
My goal is to cut down and save money too but it's a bit difficult.
ReplyDeleteI agree. At first it is hard because you need self discipline. But i would say for me it took me 2 weeks to get used to it. And i cut down on a lot of food but thats also because I was hospitalized back in Feb and it actually forced me to stop. It was life changing but its amazing. I still cheat and have some junk here and there but not as much as i used to.
ReplyDeleteMy mom always made home-cooked meals growing up. She liked cooking just like your mom did. Luckily, I followed in her footsteps and love to cook too.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is also a good cooker, she likes to cook all the time and she never get's out of the kitchen. Since i was small, she has been the one that has made the food for everybody at the house. But as of the fast food, i think it's a difficult thing to stop eating because it's everywhere.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason being with friends just makes eating fast food seem way more satisfying then it is.
ReplyDeletesound like we're on the same boat about eating fast food at work (:
ReplyDeleteI love cheese. Not on everything though. When i get toppers pizza i always order extra cheese and sausage.
ReplyDeleteits good that your thinking about your health now. It is difficult not to eat fast food when u forget your lunch or just dont have time to make one before work. I used to do the same thing. my back up plan was always to eat at the nearest fast food place.
ReplyDeleteif you commit to your goal you could probably achieve it. good luck
ReplyDeleteI love cheesy food as well.
ReplyDeleteYou already started your change to a healthier lifestyle by setting a goal. Keep it simple and easy pace, you don’t want to overdo it and then quit.
ReplyDeleteI love cheese too but as we all get older it's going to catch up to us so it's best that we look out on what we eat now.
