Hey, here's hoping it works! I can't eat or even think about jambalaya without wanting to hurl...and that's after 10 years. So woohoo!

So, I used to be obsessed with those Jalapeno crunchers, and we bought some the weekend of my family reunion last year. I ate so many that I was super-full and was like "You know, I bet if I just eat a few more, I will make myself sick of these things." So I ate the rest of the bag. And felt like sh*t. And have never eaten them again... it totally worked!!

I gave up fast food for new year's and I swear it's a great diet. My brother lost 15 lbs doing the same thing.

Eeee. Is it bad that my stomach growled at the list of foods you mentioned?

I hear you on the overload though. I'm trying to be good, but splurged on junk the other day and Oyyyyy did my stomach kill me for it later. Ack.

Glad you're feelin' better.

I know about over doing it with some things, for example: I haven't had a white russian since 1985. But the fast food, well, you'd have to strap me to the couch and make me watch "Super Size Me" about 1,000 times (maybe more) to stop the fast food stress eating, which is what I assume is going on with you.

Good luck.

Am I the only person in the world who LOVES fast food? I mean, I like my food. I'm a good cook. But, I just don't have all that trans fat and what not to put into my food and it just doesn't taste the same. :)

I drove through Jack in the Box this afternoon to get an Andes Mint Shake. An hour later, I wish I hadn't done it.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Lol! I wish I could find something that would make me not crave fast food. I love salty fried things.

Rather an extreme form of a 'cure,' but may be worth considering.......maybe not.
Cheers and glad you're 'back on your feet' again

Ugh... that makes my stomach hurt just thinking of all that grease. But, I've been in your place and I've done that before. It's still one of my worst problems and why I have so much trouble losing weight.

I truly do hope that you're strong and won't do this again.

Good! U diskusting fastfood eater U i hope u lerned ur lesson fer good so we do'nt hafta heer bout it nymor!

Joking. I totally understand the bingeing thing. I hope you got the cure for good!

Whoo hooo!

Sounds good, actually. We don't have a Jack In the Box here, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing.

I used to be personally addicted to Mickey D's $1 double cheeseburgers. So cheap, so greasy, so luscious.

But then somebody reminded me about the one not far from our old house where the guy accidentally lost his fingertip and they shut the restaraunt down for 2 days. Suddenly, not so hungry.

Did I tell you about the time I went all out at Taco Bell? 2 Mexican Pizzas, a Meximelt & a double decker taco. And a super large Fruit Punch.

All very tasty until I had finished the food, finished the drink and opened the plastic cup to eat some ice.

AND.

Found one complete COCKROACH. And a Half of another one.

Hence, the following vomit fest, followed by a multi year boycott of all things mexican-food & prebought. And any sodas that came in a cup.

Gag. I still taste a little chunky puke when I think about it.

Anyway, how's that apple?

That sounds fabulous. Now I am going to have to eat fast food for every meal until I am sick of it too.

OH OH OH

Try my new dessert that tastes so luscious but is really good for you!

Take one graham cracker (I use Walmart brand cuz I'se a cheap one!) (But you could buy the whole grain ones too, and that would be even healthier)

Put on about a quarter inch thick of JIF reduced fat chunky peanut butter.

Layer on some frozen blueberries (I buy the walmart brand)

Top with a spoonful of CoolWhip.

Eat.

Tastes like some kind of cheesecakey-smooth yumminess. My hubby is hooked, my kids are hooked, and we're blowing through the blueberries.

What's great: PB for protein, Bleuberries for fruit serving & cancer fighting, its just soooo good.

I'm feeling sick right now. Just reading that made me hurt for you. I'm sure that I'm not cured in anyway. I'll recover!!

I just wish that I could recover into my diet and exercise.

Be careful of the moving stress. Don't repeat my mistakes. I was down to 163 when we started packing and I'm up to 188 a year later. Don't give up. I swear it sucks and I don't want it to happen to you.

I haven't tried that steak thing, but I always get the Ultimate Cheeseburger at Jack in the Box. And it makes me sick every time. But it tastes SO good. It's worth spending the next day in the bathroom. haha (It's also over 1000 calories so I pretty much can't eat anything else the days I get it.)

(I love food. heh)

I could have warned you. I worked for Crap in a Sack back when I was in high school. Back then they were owned by PURINA. THINK ABOUT IT. I've not eaten there since. Anyway, sorry. I'll try to work that into conversation with people I meet on line now just to be helpful. "Hi, my name is norm and did I mention you shouldn't eat at Jack in the Box? No? Well, don't."

Oh yeah, the greasy sickness. I used to love the double quarter pounder meal from McDonalds. Now? I can't eat it - it tastes artificial. I don't know how to explain it other than there is a chemical taste to it that just puts me off. Same with the fries and all things fast food. Maybe I'm getting old or my palate is reaching new heights of sophistication or something, but I just can't do the fast food anymore.

Ok, that's a lie. I can eat me some Taco Bell, cucarachas, E. coli, and all.

Don't feel too bad. I've eaten like that. And I always feel super gross afterwards. You'd think I'd catch on right? But its sooooo yummy!

Glad you feel better, Y.

Taco Bell. Hm, I don't feel sick at all when I think of Taco Bell. I haven't been there in months. (I swore it off when I was losing weight because SWEET CHALUPAS AND CARAMEL APPLE EMPENADAS!) Do they still have those?

No. Don't tell me if they do. I don't want to know.

Weird. My friend ate at Jack in the Box this last Thursday and got sick. I have no idea what she had though.

The trouble is, you live in fast food heaven. SoCal is just an amazing bouquet of fast food establishments. Come east, young mother. We don't have nearly the fast food you have. Only one fast food place in my city of 90K people! I don't even think about it most of th e time, because it's so unavailable. Except for Donuts. Oh, I love those damn donuts.

Glad you are feeling better. I over indulge and still crave the fast food. I'm hungry just thinking about what you ate. Sad, no?

Ok, you had me at "I've been healed!" but then you went and totally lost me again at "I also grew a pouch".

*Throws up in mouth a little*

Seriously, though, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. Sick sucks.

Ya know, thelist DOES sound like it would make you sick. But everyone in my family (immediate and extended) has been coming down with those same symptoms, one after another, and not a bit of fast food in sight. My dad had the shaking and chills while on a trip and hasn't had fast food for years. Although, it's nice that it's cured the craving for the fast foods, probably not actually caused by the fast foods. :)

I hardly ever eat fast food, probably because I get the Gut Rumbles after doing so. Also? In high school? I spilled "steak juice" from a Taco Bell taco on me. I can promise you, my shirt smelled like a port-o-potty.

I'm impressed. I live for fast food (although I'm not going to lie, that's partly because I can't cook). I sure do love me some grease.

I totally applaud you for calling the whole thing off. I got violently ill from Taco Bell once and swore that I'd never eat it again. That lasted a year (go me!) but then I couldn't resist the cheesy potatoes anymore and they got me back.

I love that you're finding a very bright silver lining in all this. Me, I'd just be whining. Very happy for your remarkable recovery!

nah, you'd have known if it was kangaroo cos that shit is tasty!! like venison, only nicer.

we don't have all the good junk in the good old land of oz. and to tell you the truth, you are kind of making me glad we don't! heh

If you had kangaroo meat you definitely would not be sick from eating junk food. It's the leanest red meat and actually very healthy. It is also tasty. I love being Australian and eating our national emblem. Coincidentally, the kangaroo is also a pest here and is in plague proportions.

Go kangaroo meat!

(I also should point out that we do NOT eat the cute little "Skippy" type kangaroos. We eat the over 6-foot-tall big red kangaroos that kill livestock.)

i was talking to a friend the other day who was having a go at making kangaroo meatloaf. thats kind of nuts, but i guess, if its healthy...

i once threw up macdonalds - i think it was something unrelated to the food and more to do with my toddler having the same thing at the same time - but i didnt eat it for over a year. i also stopped eating there for a couple of years when someone told me something about them buying beef anus. i dont want to know in THAT much detail what goes into my food. these days i pretty much only eat their chicken deli rolls.

i have a friend that told me a story once, while i was eating a sausage, about a friend of his who went to work in a sausage factory and was so grossed out by the vats of meat and what actually goes into sausages, that he threw up into one of the vats. and then he was too embarrased to tell someone, and so he just lasted out the day and then went home and never went back. i don't know if theres any truth to it (my friend knows that i'll belive almost any foodie horror story and i'm easily put off food) but damn, i dindt eat sausage for years after that, and i sure didnt finish the one that i had in my hand at the time.

why can't someone make up a story about chocolate? or cake? aarhgh!

I had a cure like that - the one time, for reasons unknown to me, I looked at a Burgerking hamburger and I swear to God it was gray. It got me off fast food for about a year...now I'm back but the burgers are pretty rare.

Glad you're feeling better.

Actually, you probably had a gallbladder attack...it is very common when you eat a lot of fat and you are not used to it, especially if you have been dieting. Weight loss is the #1 cause. It makes you feel nauseated, like you are having horrible gas pain and oh, yeah, like you're gonna frickin die. And lifting heavy stuff can cause your back muscles to hurt in the kidney area.

Y,
Your food list sounded pretty good to me, too. We used to live in SoCal and the thing I miss the most, though, is fish tacos from Wahoos. None of those here (in Illinois) and no place even sells fish tacos.

Don't worry, it'll wear off in about a week.

When I lost weight a year or so ago, I went almost totally off fast food but what really cured me was the movie Super Size Me. Ugh.

Oh now you know and the pig hunter knows and we all know it wasn't the food at all, was it.....you had diet coke with all that food didn't you? You did I betcha. It was the diet coke that did it, pig hunter has told you before that the stuff is making you ill. Keep eating the food but drink Sprite, you'll be fine.

Um, so I totally want each and every food you just mentioned. Granted, it's nearing 10 pm, and I haven't sat down to eat a proper dinner yet, but still. Fried stuffed jalapenos? That shit sounds rockin'.
