I has a secret.

I eat too much fast food. -__-

I know it's bad for me and bad for the planet, b-but. I like french fries and pizza and milkshakes. But really? It's uck. It doesn't even taste that good. But it's easy and fast and lazy cat is lazzzzy.

THEREFORE! I am pledging, right in front of all of Livejournal to eat better. No more fast food. And if I want cookies or candy? I make it myself.

On the upside, this may result in more baking expeditions! PX Hokay, so homemade brownies mebbe aren't much better for *me* than storebought goodies, BUT it's prolly better for the planet? Not to mention waaaay more fun.

And I'm determined to make veggies and fruits my friends again! I don't chat with cherries or play with pineapples enough. It may take longer, but it's so, so, so much tastier and healthier and prolly even cheaper.

Speaking of cheaper...I bet I spend about 25 dollars on fast food a month.

So, I've decided to do something kinda...advent calendary. You know those Christmas calendars with a bunch of little doors with chocolates or little gizmos behind them? I've always loved those! ^^

So! For every week that I eat better (and I will track it ~every~ day), I will get myself a little prize. Something cute and fun and silly around 5 dollars. I dunno what yet but it'll prolly be some kinda toy. 'Cause if there's one thing I love more than noms, it's toys.

Cooking will be fun and eating better will be fun. And the little toys will be fun! I can't lose!

Every time someone talks about how fast food is bad for them, I think of The Weatherman.

"The first time I was struck with something, a chicken breast from Kenny Rogers. I was standing next to a garbage pail. I thought it might've been an accident, that they were throwing it out. The second time, it hit me square on the chin, a soft taco. Then, pop. A falafel. McNuggets. Always fast food. Fast food. Shit people would rather throw out than finish. It's easy. It tastes all right, but it doesn't really provide you any nourishment. ...I'm fast food."

Eeegkkh.

*saves this quote for inspiration*

This sounds like a brilliant and fantastic idea! Will you take photos of all the food you make so we can salivate over it and wish we could eat it with you? :D

XDD I dunno if I can do ALL of it, but there will be highlights, yeth indeed.

Highlights is good! :D

Good for you! ^_^ I hope this goes well for you. :D

^^

TY! I suspect it'll be easier than I think!

I totally get where you're coming from with this. Sometimes there's nothing I want more than a McDonalds quarter-pounder w/ cheese...but I try to resist (I sometimes fail but usually that's every couple months).

And plus, the baking season is upon us -- I just looked @ this recipe I got last year for this amazing pumpkin bread (my co-worker brought it into work a few times last fall), and I realized I just needed to buy the pumpkin part! :D

Hooray for baking!

Mmmmm, pumpkin season! Pumpkins are such an awesome gourd. Or is it a gourd?

I cannot remember. IN ANY CASE, AWESOME FOOD IS AWESOME. The fleshy bit is delish, as is the seedy bits and even the rind! P:

Oh I love french fries and pizza and milkshakes! Have all of them at least once a week (but not all at once). ; ) I love fruit too though. I eat a banana and drink cranberry juice every day. And I usually eat lots of grapes and salads too. What kind of toys would you get?

djfkd

I dunno! I'm gonna scout for toys all week and pick something fun. Because I always need an excuse to poke about for shiny things. X)

I'm diabetic but eat too much junk food and tv dinners and stuff...

but i can't help it, I'm lazy, can't cook, and when it's dinner time I'm at school and the only things to eat that late are in vending machines.
