So I’ve been growing larger and larger since I got my job at fast food, almost 40 pounds excatly. I am 18 and 5′9 at almost 200 pounds. I work at fast food and I’ve tried diets, nutrisystem, but by the end of the day, the smell of the cheeseburger just gets me. I have always had a bad eating habit where I eat to be happy and cheeseburgers have always been so delicious to me. Now it’s getting bad, and I can’t quit my job.

What tactic can I use to overcome my fatty obsession?

@Susanna: I think you’re right. 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.

This is great advice. 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.

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

I’ve been waiting to find a post like this. 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.
