Hey guys! I posted about two months ago about my fast food addiction that caused me to both gain a lot of weight and to rack up my credit card debt. After that post, I had a few more weeks of struggle and then I decided to quit fast food cold turkey. I went from having fast food about once a day, sometimes twice on particularly bad days, to absolutely no fast food.
I am doing CICO and only counting protein as a macros to make sure that I eat enough of it. I’m also eating normal servings. I have no restrictions on what I eat unless it doesn’t fit in my allowance for the day. The only restriction is no fast food because I truly can’t afford it. My life has changed so much. I have so much more energy! My relationship with food and feeling ashamed of having a dang cookie has completely changed. I will say that I have been struggling emotionally but I expected that to happen because binging was a way of finding comfort. I’m going to start therapy as soon as I can.
I grew up in a house where there was always a new fad diet or lifestyle related MLM being tried out by my parents and consequently us kids. There was always crazy restrictions and evil ingredients/macros. I’m breaking that cycle in my own life and for my future kids. I am not actually worried about my weight atm, just staying within a calorie deficit. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you guys for this awesome community!
