Before moving to healthy eating, Hardee’s chicken fillet biscuit with hash rounds was one of my biggest downfalls. It is no wonder I put on so much weight because that meal was 800 calories and I ate it about three times a week. When I started my good eating program, I promised myself that I did not have to give it up but would move it to the category of a treat.

This morning I was out early to do some Christmas shopping and this seemed a good time to indulge. It has been about 4 months since I had this "treat." I have eaten under my calorie limit for a few days so I thought that I could handle the calories.

I did not like it very much! They are doing the potatoes differently and they are not worth the 200 calories. They probably weren’t before either, but my taste was different then. The biscuit and chicken was OK but certainly not worth the 600 calories. I ate about half.

I am glad I ate it because now I can erase Hardee’s chicken fillet biscuit from my memory. I am not missing a thing by not eating those calories!

I've quit my 1-3x a week trips to McDonald's. I haven't been back. Surprisingly I've not craved any. I used to really crave the $1 cheeseburgers.
I wonder if they will taste the same to me now? I am surprised and pleased that I don't crave that junk anymore!

I when I bit into them all I taste is grease! It actully makes it easy to say no to greasy food. One of the benifits of changing ones habits. I also rarely salt my food and that is a huge deal since I use to put salt on everything!
Cheers to us for building healthier tastebuds!

Tastes do change.
Funny how cravings don't necessarily change, and when you eat what you crave it tastes terrible now. Wish I could get my mind to catch up with my tongue LOL!

Way to go stopping half way! I usually will start eating something and finish it then say 'you know that wasn't too good'. I'll have to remember this next time I'm eating out. If it's not great, don't eat it.(wow that sounds overly obvious)

Gosh, I love those moments. It's so much easier to eat well when you've become a picky eater

I was a McDonalds and A&W junkie. I have eaten there since June, and I can honestly say I do not crave them anymore at all.

I used to be a pop addict. Coke to be exact. I would drink up to 10 cans a day. Since July or maybe even before that (I can't remember it has been so long) I only drink water and cold green tea. The other day I was shopping at walmart and there was the cooler of pop next to the cashier. I grabbed a coke....just cause. I thought I really wanted it.
Well, all I have to say is I took two sips and then dumped it. It just tasted awful! Way too sweet and just...YUCK!

It does sound obvious! Too bad it doesn't seem obvious to me more often!!

I have really noticed how much sweeter and saltier things taste. I was eating an apple (AN APPLE) the other day and thought wow this thing is almost too sweet. Before apples had almost no flavor to me anymore. This reminded me of being a kid and eating apples from the tree in our yard and how sweet they tasted.

Yeah. There are so many things that I just don't want any more because they don't taste good to me. It's a nice change!

I also used to drink about 3-6 cans of diet pepsi a day. I haven't touched it since my life stlye change. I wanted something to drink after eating, but nothing big, so I asked my mom if I could have a sip of her pepsi, YUCK. lol

It's like that with me and candy. Before I started eating better and dieting, I always had to have candy. I mean had to have it. I could eat a whole family-sized bag a day, sometimes more. These days, I have no desire to eat a bunch of sugar. In fact, the idea makes me kind of sick. I have candy canes in the house, the good jelly-belly flavored ones, and I'm letting myself eat those for a treat- but most of the time I dont even need to finish it.

I haven't gone out of my way to buy anything really sweet in a long time. Those rare times I'm craving sweets, plain animal crackers are usually enough for me.
