Today, I started my new health kick with granola for breakfast, salad for lunch, and hitting the gym after work. I was so proud of myself, until I couldn’t take it anymore and binged at McDonald’s. My health kick lasted 11 hours. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to start eating healthier, so I had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast and a chicken salad for lunch. My stomach violently rejected both meals in a fountain of vomit. I later ate a giant McDonald’s meal with no issue, and felt loads better. FML
Today, I decided to start a new and healthy diet. When I came home from my run this morning, my family decided to show their support by buying takeaway food. FML
Today, I’m trying to be healthy. My friends suggested I keep junk food out of the house so I don’t crave it. Yeah, that didn’t work. My car wouldn’t start so I actually made the four-mile walk to the nearest grocery store to get junk food. FML
Today, I had a plan. I was going to get up early, eat a well balanced breakfast, put on my workout clothes and enjoy this beautiful day with a fulfilling jog. Instead, I put on my workout clothes, spent hours on social media, ate a pizza, and ended up falling asleep on my couch. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I started our diet. After a long day of being held accountable for every calorie I ate, I went home to sneak a snack. My boyfriend came over to surprise me, and found me on the couch shoveling left-over Indian food into my mouth. FML
Today, I was running late for work and skipped breakfast. At a red light, I noticed a granola bar in my bag and so I took a bite, only to realize it was actually a dog treat I'd stuffed in there days ago. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, I woke up late and grabbed what I thought was a granola bar on my way out. It wasn’t until I was halfway through eating it that I realized it was a dog treat. I had the godawful taste in my mouth all throughout the day, despite several cans of Pepsi and Mountain Dew. FML
Today, I went for a three-mile run. I was really proud of myself until I woke up from my dream in my bed, surrounded by empty soda bottles and fast food bags. I haven't worked out in years. FML
Today, I began to daydream about going on a diet and losing some weight. As I did so, I unknowingly reached for a giant bag of chips and ate the whole thing. Now, I have stopped daydreaming and am sitting alone and depressed. And I'm all out of chips. FML

Healthy eating isn't just about eating less. You also need to eat smart too. It seems like you cut too many calories at once. No protein, no snack to help stave off hunger.

Losing weight is all about watching your serving size, calorie intake and portion control. If you want to eat at McD's every day, as long as you stay within your caloric intake for the day, you'll lose weight. I had McD's once a week for six months and lost 40 lbs. I watched my serving sizes, and my caloric intake. Size 22 to size 12.

When I was watching my calories I would get a kids meal when I needed my “fix” it helped me stay in range and kept me from binging. You got this!!!

Everyday is an opportunity to do it right. I also have trouble making the right eating habits in the evening. I also want to add that granola isn't really health food. It is fool of sugar. Might as well eat a candy bar.

Granola is not good diet food. Next time, see if you can make your kick last 12 hours. Maybe by 2022 you can stay healthy for a whole day!

Don’t be too hard on yourself OP. Take it one hour at a time if you need too. You totally got this! You will make healthier choices your bitch!!!

OP, perhaps instead of beating yourself up and saying I only made it 11 hours, look at it as you made it through 11 hours this first attempt. there's a lot of people offering good advice here about what may have gone wrong in this first attempt of yours. Figure out what did it work for you, change it to something that does work for you, and try again. slow and steady wins the race

This doesn't have to be the end of your health kick, but maybe you should talk to someone about it because granola for breakfast and a salad for lunch isn't particularly healthy. Granola has a lot of sugar and while it isn't unhealthy, it's not a health food. Salad (especially if you meant the big plates of leafy greens without much else) isn't a whole lot of calories and almost no protein, you need more than that to go to the gym. See if you can get a nutritionist on your health plan, they can help you come up with an actual healthy diet.

It’s ok. But honestly you may wanna try a different healthy choice. For breakfast have two eggs, a meat and a cup of coffee Lunch have a salad, a meat and a fruit Dinner have a meat, vegetable and fruit. Drink plenty of water and if you manage to have McDonald’s because you feel hungry try again tomorrow

Trying to get healthy is hard my attempts last a day, two at the most when I’m really motivated. Lol

How many carbs did you intake? Carbs, protein, and fat are most of what a fast-food craving is about. Up healthy versions of all that, and get some Boca burgers for the next fast-food craving--they're all vegetable, but still have lots of proteins and veggie oils, so it'll keep you on track without any problems. (And try baked potato fries, or sweet potato fries. Oven-baking makes things a lot healthier.)
