Their are many reasons that a person might choose to boycott something. My reasons for boycotting fast food are pretty simple and yet typical. To start with I found myself slowly increasing the amount of times that I opted for fast food instead of cooking a healthy yet tasty dinner. Which needless to say slowly increased my caloric intake however, that wasn't what I found to be damaging. The damaging part was that my stomach over time was stretching.
My stomach in fact had stretched to the point, that when I had went on my first diet and tried to eat less I felt as if I were starving, when in fact I was eating the exact amount that I should have been eating. This starving feeling had eventually led me to a parade of fad diets. In truth, I had probably lost and gained over 200 pounds.
So awhile back I had woke up and realized that some changes had to be made, though this time instead of jumping in head first I made one change at a time, my first change was to avoid fast food. I have lost my weight consistently 1.5-2 pounds a week, through healthy eating choices and hard work. It hasn't all been easy for there were many times when I just wanted a quick bite handed to me through a window. Though I passed them on by and went home and had a quick bite that provided well balanced nutrition.
One memory I have that I cherish to this day, is the day I was running errands and an old familiar scent entered my car window and I was suddenly disgusted by the smell. I remember thinking, when did that happen, when exactly did that smell that used to draw me in become repulsive? I'm not sure exactly when it happened, though I am very thankful that it did.
