Wow! It's a good thing I gave these up a long time ago. Double Whooper with cheese contains 1010 calories? That's almost a one-day calorie intake for some people. I did watch the movie Supersize me before and these post explains why the guy gained so much weight after a few weeks.

These foods used to be my favorite. I ate a lot of these before I became conscious of my weight. Now that I think about it, fast foods are one of the main reason why I gained a lot of weight. They taste good, no question about that, but it's totally unhealthy.

Me too but now, I no longer have cravings for them. I always psyche myself into thinking how it will ruin my diet. It's all about self control really. There is nothing healthy in eating these foods.

I can't even look at these foods without imagining myself getting fat..

I envy those people who can eat whatever they want and not gain weight. My friend is one of them. It must be great having a metabolism like that. But the bright side of things, I'm healthier since I stopped eating high fat, high calorie foods.

fast foods = high cholesterol and weight gain.. Fast foods should put the calorie information in their foods. I think some already started it.
