    Default Ew

    Ugh....I was doing so good on my eating right and working out plan...and then somehow I let myself have one meal of bad food and fell right back into it. I don't know what to do but I feel like I seriously look like a morbidly obese person walking down the street. I want to break every mirror and don't even want my best friend to look at me. I can't afford super healthy food and I'm always busy, and can't cook because our dorms don't have an oven or stove, or even a phuckin hotplate...just a microwave. I live literally like one second away from Taco Bell and Long John Silvers and can't stop going there. And theres a phucken vending machine that won't stop stockin wif hot cheetohs. I can't say no. And I wanna at least work out alot the days I don't go to work, but I get soooo exhausted from never sleeping that it uses all my energy to just go to class and do homework.

    Uggggghhhhhhhhhhh.

    Bleh I know how ya feel. I wish there was more healthy food that was easier to get. It's just so damn easy to go through the drive-thru at McD's or to run to the fish'n'chip shop.

    i know they're kind of boring...but what about frozen lean cuisines?
    or microwave frozen vegetables that steam in the bag? you could go to a chinese restaurant and buy some steamed rice and eat it with the veggies. i'm not a big meat eater, but if you have a chick-fill-a close by, perhaps you could buy some of their grilled chicken and voila you have a balanced meal!

    Whoa, Pooka! I feel like those words were coming from me...not you! I've been doing really good with my eating until yesterday...I've had fried chicken and Taco Bell, and now I feel like a fat cow.

    Damn fast food! *Shakes fist*

    healthy food can be cheap!

    fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts...

    you just have to make it yourself. You don't even need to cook extensively. Peanut butter and banana sandwich, instant oatmeal, protein bars, whole grain bagel, canned soups (watch sodium content) etc.

    it's more satisfying too, so you won't need to eat as much. that bag of vending machine Cheetos is a rip off. Stop lying to yourself. You don't need them. it's not about the money or the convenience. it's that you don't want to. You can even eat semi-healthy at fast food restaurants. You just have to make the right choices.

    You're right, Em. I think for me it's the bloated feeling I get after I eat a fast food meal. When I'm at home I eat whole grains and...well...just overall way better food than any fast food restaurant could have. When I go out I love the food as I'm eating it, but I feel sick after and that's what makes me feel fat/guilty/whatever.

    Sandwiches are good too, whole wheat bread, turkey or ham and veggies. I hate cooking for the most part, and that's what I've been living off of.

    I am all for lean pockets! I used to live in an apartment where the stove didn't work and the landlord wouldn't fix it so I had a microwave. Lean pockets are great! And also I eat lost of cheerios with skim milk and all natural low fat peanut butter sandwiches.

    Actually I think junk food is addicting...somehow.

    Beating cravings is hard. Sometimes I crave fries so badly that my throat aches. But you need to keep reminding yourself how much better you will feel tomorrow if you say no to the cravings, and keep telling yourself how depressed you feel afterwards.

    I haven't eaten anything from McD's/BK/KFC all year, and I've nearly caved and gone to get a burger soooo many times, but every time I've stopped myself with thoughts of how completely shitty I feel afterwards. It's just not worth it.

    Emily is right-when I go to fast food places, a lot of times I'll get a grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo and eat it without the bun. I'll get a small chili or a side salad to go with it. One of my friends that I go out to eat with often hardly ever finishes all of his french fries, so if I really really want some, I'll just eat a few of his instead of getting my own order. Then I don't feel so bad as I would have if I ate a whole large fry by myself. I've never eaten at Long John Silver's so I don't know if they have anything semi-healthy, but the chicken soft tacos at Taco Bell are not bad for you.

    I feel you about not having an oven-that kind of sucks and limits your food choices a bit, but as others have mentioned, vegetables that you can steam in the bag are good, as are soups, nuts, lean meats such as ham and turkey that you can put in the fridge, salads, brown rice you can cook in the microwave, tuna, lots of possibilities!

    I lost some weight on Weight Watchers and sort of still follow it now to try to keep myself in line. If you look at the points values for different fast foods you can add it up and try to eat lower point fast foods. There is a list of restaurants and point values on this website.

    I know some college students that got small george foreman type grills to cook in their dorms. They're really portable and you just plug them into the wall. That way you can have grilled meat and veggies, sandwiches and so on.
