Have you noticed how much more time you have to do other things once you get hooked on this DVR gadget? I think it's awesome (and it saves me from killing my remote control freak b/f)!

I was never a big fast food eater, but gave it up totally about 7 or 8 years ago. It probably helped that I was (am) allergic to beef too. But I started associating the trash associated with fast food (bags, wrappers, cups) that you see littering the entire country with trash in and on my body. If you eat this trash, you end up with excess trash attached to your body in the form of fat. The association of the food with the trash caused me to be sickened by the thought of eating the food.

Maybe if anyone is struggling with fast food, this association could help. Even the commercials are gross to me, but mostly they don't even register when I see them. I also think about the quality of food over the quantity, and fast food is definitely about quantity.
I do. I do. Lollllll
Actually the Target I go to (rarely), has a Starbucks AND a pizza thing!
