I would remember that my family and I will go out to eat fast food like 3 to 4 time of the month. We will go when my dad didn’t have to work and he will take us to go and spend some family time. My dad will like when we will spend our Sundays out eating as family because we really didn’t see him much during the week because he would work from eight to twelve hours a day. I remember that my sister and I will be so happy when my dad will take us when it was Halloween time and we will get the bucket from McDonald’s. The fast food restaurants that my parents would like going will be McDonald’s, Carl’s Jr, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, and at times to Burger King. When I would go to fast food restaurants I would get the kids meals. When I out grown that stage I would get a number two at McDonald’s and share it with my sister Pamela, at Carl’s I would get the famous star, at taco bell I would get two taco with supreme nachos, at jack in the box I would get number 4 or 6, and at Burger King I would get the whopper Jr. Then around when my little sister was born we didn’t really eat fast food as much is was more like a treat because after my little sister was born my mom was diagnose with diabetes type two. Then it had change our eating habits our family had become more health at that time we all did it to help my mom not get into a bad eating habit and so she will eat more health.
Now that I don’t live with my parents any more I could say that I eat fast food a little more than I did. I know it bad for me and my mom tells me not to eat it too much because diabetes runs in my mom side of the family. The reason why I eat it more is because for lunch at work instead of making myself a healthy meal I go get fast food. With my son I make sure he doesn’t eat as much fast food as I do because he is too young to be eating much of that. Recently during the past three month I have reduce the times I eat fast food because I am getting tired of always eating the same thing. Lately I make more time to make my lunch for work and to eat fast food once a week like I used to do it with my parents. I want to try to make fast food more like a treat and not eat it so often. Even though I have a good stable weight I don’t want to gain weight that I wouldn’t like to have. If I don’t have a lunch and I need to eat something I will rather now to subway or a healthier place.
That's good you can take the initiative to stop eating unhealthy. Its a great start.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your mom and getting diabetes, but with every bad comes good. I am sure changing eating habits will be great for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI like that your whole family changed their eating habits with your mom.
ReplyDeleteI was once at risk of having diabetes it came to the point were I had to have self control and change my ways. Now I do personal training and know I'm in better health.
ReplyDeleteEating healthy is better than eating unhealthy.
