Fast food to me was a enjoyable and satisfying reward that I would look forward at the end of the week. Also a time for the family to sit around and watch a movie and spend quality time together. Fast food was also a way for rewarding of for example good behavior, getting good grades or for doing your chores around the house. The taste of that first bite to the burger or pizza was so rich and fulfilling, you would say to yourself that there was nothing better than this ever. I remember going to chucky cheese every other Sunday after church, and asking my mom during mass is we can go to chucky cheese after. Playing around in the arcade and coming back to where my parents were sitting to take another bite of the cheesy pizza and refreshing Pepsi was do die for. Fast food was not an every day thing or every weekend, daily home cooked meals where an everyday thing at home. But when it came to having a nice hot burger or juicy burrito, I was a roller coaster of flavors and satisfaction that was worth the wait.
Total I have a total different point o f view in my fast foods life style and in fast foods today. Don’t get me wrong I still love it enjoy a hot In N Out burger once in a while. Or a hot slice of topper pizza as well. But now that I’m older and more aware of what fast foods now is these days and the life changes and effects it can take on somebody, my fast food habits have changed dramatically. Then I was able to eat anything I wanted and not have to worry about gaining any weight or anything. Now my metabolism has changed a bit to where its easier to gain weight than is was before. I like to eat pretty healthy meals that consist for meats veggies and proteins now, and see a difference in the type of energy I have now in my daily life then when I eat out. Life risk are also something that I have become more aware about now as a young adult. Having some family member’s diagnosed with diabetes and weight problems is also a reason for healthier eating habits I have picked up. I am not some crazy person who watches their weight all the time or feels guilty for eating that burger or drinking that soda at night. But I am more aware of how much fast food I consume on a daily and weekly bases.
i had the same problem as you, i would always look foward to eating fast food and i wouldnt care how much of it i ate because of my fast metabolism. but im glad you decided to cut back and started to eat more veggies and protein.
