Oh, and sweet looking car too.
Listen...don’t judge me! Ha! No...that was the first fuel stop on the way home. I live northwest of Atlanta and we went to Charlotte North Carolina to make the purchase.

At that point, I had managed 28.2 MPG doing speed limit on the highway. Well...truth be told, it hasn’t been that good since.

I’ve donated all of my “fat” clothes. No going back.

Down 10” in my waist, went from having to stretch a XXL shirt down to a comfortable large(more weight to lose from the waist up), and feel better than I did as a young man. Once again, best decision I’ve ever made for myself.

Fast food can be OK if you choose carefully. For example, a Wendy's Baconator served in a lettuce wrap instead of a bun and without any sugary condiments isn't too terrible. And their salads aren't bad either as long as you skip the sugar-coated pecans and the sugary dressing.

This is true...but I haven’t been in a fast food restaurant in almost a year because I know myself, and I was afraid that I’d breakdown and go backwards. At this point, I do not miss that kind of food, so no need to go in there.

Back when I used to work in an office with other people the company would sometimes buy us lunch, and that lunch would inevitably come from some fast food place. I became very adept at picking the least evil items on the menu.

As do I. When a group from the office goes out for lunch and I join them, I look for the better health choices. Not always fun, but I save my calories for things I truly enjoy.
