Fast Food


As a child fast food wasn't really part of my life. My family would rarely go out. Whenever we did go out it would be on birthdays or special weekends. My mom would always cook and she made sure food was always ready for us to eat. When we did go out we would usually go and get Domino's Pizza. We would always get a large pepperoni jalapenos and a large pepperoni pineapple. We also went to McDonald's. At McDonald's I would always get the premium crispy chicken classic sandwich and until this day I keep getting the same thing. I only eat the chicken sandwich because the other red meet burgers from McDonalds gross me out since they aren’t well done. Back then going out and eating was the most amazing thing. Since we rarely went out to eat when we did go it was the most amazing thing ever! My sisters loved it too and we had amazing times. I remember this place we ate at whenever we did go out. I don't really remember what type of restaurant it was but I know it was big and it had an arcade and I remember how much I loved playing there. I will say that when I was little I always used to go to a store after school and I would buy hot cheetos and I would put nacho cheese and jalapenos on them and it was the most delicious thing ever. And I would also buy things from the ice-cream man pretty much every day. Besides that I was never someone who would eat out.
   
 My fast food habits now are the worst habits of my life. I eat out every day once or twice a day sometimes even three times a day. I also eat way too much junk food now. I can have as much a five bag of chips a day with candy on the side and a red bull. I guess eating out has become a big part of my life because now that I have school, work, and soccer I don't really spend a lot of time at home therefore I have to be eating out more than I should. Eating out so much has made me some what a lazy person. since I eat out I don't have to worry about cooking at home, and when I am home I get lazy and I don't cook and instead I go out and get some fast food. Toppers, panda, in-n-out, hook, urbane cafe, McDonalds, and jack in the box are some of the usual places I attend when I need to eat. All this fast food and junk food have had a negative effect on me. Since I would stay up really late eating there was a time in which I would be able to not eat all day because I would still be full from last night. And I was only able to eat around three a.m go to sleep late, wake up late and not eat all day until late at night again. I’ve been trying to fix my eating habits again but I know it will take a lot of effort from my part.

  2. It's the same for me, having work and school I could never find the time for a real meal and fast food is always there.

  3. Difficult to stay away from, especially in this city. It seems like new fast-food joints are popping up all the time. I hope you do your best to invest some time and money into healthier foods.

  4. Sometimes I get a little lazy as well and I'd rather just go out to Taco Bell or Urban Cafe after class instead of going home and making something, but when I have my little girl on my week I try not to do that because I don't want her to eat out so much, just cause I'm scared she will get food poisoning one day. Best of luck on switching to healthier eating habits.
