So, as I grew up so did fast food joints. They were popping up everywhere and in a time of needing things right now, families, including mine, were going through the drive-thrus like crazy! Burgers and fries were on the menu and soon became the "fast-food" item to eat. YUMMY! I loved my burgers and fries and anything else that was full of fat and deep-fried! They were so good and you could have one in your hand in a matter of seconds! Only problem with that was that after everyone else was done with their burger they went on with their day, and I just wanted another burger...
My obsession for food increased and I wanted to eat more and more. I LOVED fast food places because I could get all of the food I wanted and fast! I would eat in the car and all the way home. Then I would get ready to "feast" on all of the other food that was left in my bags. This was NOT good for someone who loved to eat food and lots of it.
Fast food was really my only source of food. I ate it all the time and it sure did show in how I looked. I ate burgers and fries, pizza, anything that they offered I ate it. If it was grilled or had too many veggies, I probably wasn't going to eat it and I didn't. I drove from fast-food place to fast-food place getting only the things I wanted to eat from there...and let me tell you I was truly ashamed of that...! Why in the hell was I doing that? Honestly I didn't know...I was just obsessed with food and with eating it. I didn't even enjoy it...I would just eat and eat and eat...sometimes I would eat so much that I would get sick, but I felt so bad about all of the food that I ate that I would just eat more. One time I ate pizza buffet for lunch AND dinner...CRAZY!
Well, after years of eating like that I was beyond unhealthy. One would think that if you ate all of that food that you wouldn't be malnorished, but I totally was! Quanity of food does not equal quality of food. I really just didn't eat anything good for me. Well...I take that back. When I would have my breaks from fast food dining I would eat healthy...well, that was actually just my new diet. Somehow, thank God, I didn't get diabetes or high blood pressure or any other preventable disease.
Over time I have lost my "taste" for fast food and rarely eat it. It's really good, because now if I eat something that is not that healthy my body lets me know...immediately!
