Big-D 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Yoinks! Now that I'm restricted on what I can eat, I'm really noticing all the food commercials on TV and food references/stories on the news. Of course, with the news, January is all about dieting, so that explains the increased attention on food. I guess January could explain all the fast food deals. Let's see, I've seen commercials for pizza Hut, KFC, Sonic, Dairy Queen, Wendy's, McDonald's, Jack-in-the-Box. The KFC deal looks tempting. 2 pc meal on Monday and then a chicken fried steak on Wednesday, both just $1.99. Pizza Hut is pushing a new pizza that looks quite appetizing. Then the other day, the Paradise Bakery sent a full color catalog to the house of everything they offer. Man, all those baked goods and sandwiches look good. What's a man to do? Stay Strong, Danny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahooge 0 Posted January 3, 2008 What's a guy to do? How about turning off the media delivery system (radio, tv, ...) and going outside for a walk (or a shovel , depending on your location). I've convinced myself that fast food is no different for me than illegal drugs--just another poison. Fight the good fight! Anne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big-D 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Just saw a TV ad for Church's. 6 boneless chicken wings plus fries for $2.99 or 4 honey-butter biscuits and 9 pieces (legs & thighs) for $6.99 The commercial looked tempting, but I find Church's chicken to be nasty. I like Popeye's or KFC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big-D 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Should Congress ban fast food commercials from TV just like tobacco and liquor ads have been? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shortgal 5 Posted January 3, 2008 Maybe you just are noticing now b/c you can't have it, but every January, usually the first two weeks of the month, I guess because so many people diet, the fast food chains advertise these specials to get people to come in. I've noticed this for years! It's kind of like women not noticing pregnant women around, until they are pregnant, and then it seems you see them everywhere. Stay strong.

Anyalee 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Change the Channel. I also had this problem during the liquid stage. I felt very angry at the world for getting to eat this stuff! When you get to mushies you'll feel MUCH better. It is just a sort of withdrawal from yummy BAD fast food life. It'll be okay! Just drink something and change the channel....fast.
