Much of this really is common to the way we eat in general, not just fast food. Thanks for the comment! @Tom: Hi Tom! Glad to see you're back from vacation. On the size of the goal, I am obviously in the same camp for those reasons. Starting to eat less should actually be one of the tips - As I recall, that actually is something I did as well, in the years preceding this one. Good call. @Susanna: I think you’re right.

I am a big advocate of starting with simple goals. I think many people start out too ambitious and become discouraged when the goals they set out aren't met. Starting with simple goals helps build confidence and creates a sense of accomplishment. These are all great tips, and I'm going to try to use them so I can start eating less fast food. Thanks for compiling this list, its very helpful. This is great advice. I am a big advocate of starting with simple goals.

With minor modifications you could make this a "how to develop good eating habits". I am taking notes. Great list! With minor modifications you could make this a “how to develop good eating habits”.

Tactic number 9 is especially useful--just get through until you can have a REAL meal; Amen. Mind if I write an article about this post? I think some of my clients would appreciate it.

I am using the idea for exercise as well, and it is working. @Miguel: Hi Miguel! Great point on having a plan. While I didn't actually write one out, I definitely had a "mental plan". Great suggestion. @Steve: Congrats on the junk food! I am doing the same. And great tip as well - you know it's funny - I'm actually doing that too. It really helps! And thank you GREATLY for the Digg and Stumble. I really do appreciate it! @Pat: Yep, I like that one probably the most as well. I am using the idea for exercise as well, and it is working.

I like number 19 as well. I did something similar by cutting out the junk food. After 30 days the funny thing was that I couldn't order anything except the grilled chicken lol. I just didn't want that garbage anymore. If I could add#21 it would be getting yourself organized. Not being prepared leads to poor impulsive decisions. Congrats on having fox news pick it up. Did you have to submit it to them? Also I'll stumble and digg, hopefully you'll see as much traffic as them :) Steve Very nice list, #15 really makes you think. I like number 19 as well.
