Fast-Food-Free July

Well, I tried to do a fast food free July and here are the results:

I didn't do it. I did eat some fast food. BUT - or should that be butt?- not as much as I usually do. I "normally" eat it about 3 or 4 times a week. Fries included. This whole month? I had fries 4 times.

As for the change in my weight this month - ZERO pounds. No gain, No loss, just stayed the same. And, that is okay with me. For now. I do, however, feel better. My mind is clearer, I've been sleeping good and don't fall asleep the minute I sit down.

I have been reading some articles in the last few issues of Good Housekeeping magazine by Geneen Roth. This has made me really try to think about not only what, but more importantly why, I am eating. I have stopped myself a few times when I'm eating because I'm mad, sad, bored, lonely....etc. I also haven't stopped myself a few times when I'm eating because I'm mad, sad, bored, lonely....etc. But, I have taken that step of identifying the feelings. It's a step in the right direction.
