Stop The Fast Food Madness

McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Pizza Hut. Do the lyrics of this song sound familiar to you? Do you eat fast food four, five, six or even seven or more times a week?

I once fell into this habit. Hectic schedules, traffic and too many places to be at one time are just some of the reasons why we often find ourselves enslaved to the fast food grind.

It's not your fault. Blame your fast food habit on the big slick corporate marketing machine for poisoning your mind and those of your family members. Have you ever driven down the road with your one- or two-year-old child in the back seat of the car while passing a McDonald's rest stop with the Golden Arches some 150 feet in the air? It is amazing how your child can’t see out the window but those arches in the sky are always visible and bring a smile to a child’s face. While you’re trying to be more health conscious, you’re being sabotaged at every corner! You can't control the marketing. You have to control yourself!

The negative effects of excessive fast food intake are numerous and include symptoms like the development of cellulite in all those icky places, loss of energy, increased bad cholesterol levels in your body, weight gain from excessive calories, and even insulin resistance that could lead to diabetes. These bad effects are just the tip of the iceberg. I think the inner physical effects of eating too much fast food are probably worse than the ones we see.

People are motivated to make changes in many different ways. What will motivate you to get off the fast food bandwagon? I just had to strip naked, look in the mirror, and let my loving husband whisper sweet nothings in my ear like, "I thought you are what you eat. Why don’t I see you eat cottage cheese?" Or my personal favorite when we share breakfast together, "Hey woman, do you need some mayonnaise with those Wheaties?"

The biggest problem from my excessive fast food intake was cellulite. It affected the bottom of my butt cheeks, my knees, and my triceps, making them ugly. Fortunately, my husband helped me kick the habit with plain old will power. We simply avoided the fast food heroin and did not succumb to our child's tantrums for Happy Meals anymore. It’s not easy but it can be done.

So now, my husband cooks while I clean and take out the garbage. It’s a long walk down our driveway but the exercise is good for me. I also have to walk the same long driveway to get the mail before dinner so that’s two walks for me a day.. Don't worry ladies, he still mows the lawn.

About three weeks ago, I received a "we delivered you were not home" tag from the US Postal Service. The next day, the mailman arrived and brought my package. The mystery package was a special delivery from the cellulite busters at www.celluthin.com . At first I was skeptical that this popular fat-burning cream would help but after three weeks of using the stuff, I became a believer.

Now I have a great body that I can be proud of. Even better, I don’t have to take out the trash anymore.
