Alright- and so it begins...365 days without eating fast food. Let me clarify what my challenge is. My goal is to go one calendar year with out eating any meals from a fast food joint. As of now, I can have shakes and drinks since I don't get those too often anyways. I probably wont get those either for a while, but my problem is with always going out to get a quick meal, so that's what has to change. Who knows, maybe I'll go a whole year without the shakes and drinks too, but right now thats kind of alot for me to take on.
Since I live off of scholarships and grants anyways, getting rid of this constant expense should allow me to start saving for something bigger and better. I heard a story about a man who bought a four wheeler after he quit smoking with the money he saved by not buying cigarettes over a period of time, and I've thought of doing something similar...since fast food is probably the closest thing to cigarettes that I've ever tried.
That last slice of pizza did me in. The thought of actually going through with this challenge made me go over board. I have done month long fasts from QSRs, but this year long pledge seems so much harder because I really don't like denying myself anything if I don't have to. But I think it is good, every now and then, to test your strength and will power, and what better time to start then the present. 2010 will be free of greasy, heavy, fatty, and costly fast food.
I'm raising my Coca Cola glass with Martinelli's apple cider and toasting to a new beginning.
does Pizza Hut count as fast food if you sit and eat it? How will you eat if you dont like campus food?
ReplyDeleteI know you can do it. Also, your eating habits may rub off on the people around you and help with their expanding wallets and waists. Cheers in 2010
