6 days fast food free

Wish me luck as I carry on...thankfully Pizza never made my forbidden list, but I recognize it's not ideal either,,,,we did get one veggie pizza though! 

6 days without fast food.  It sounds so innocent.  However, for the typical American family with 2 adults and 2 children, McDonalds...or some other burger joint is hit at least once a week, many cases everyday.  Some have their coffee habit that comes with an occasional breakfast sandwich...and a cup of motor oil with cream and sugar, hey but it only cost $1 for the biggest size they had, right?  Maybe it's fries only on the way home from a long day one night....telling yourself it's only fries so it doesn't really count...and then add in those tacos with coworkers after the really long meeting at work....you see where this is going.  I have done amazing.  Hubby had one cave in where he consumed a McDouble, but he consumed it alone, no fries, with only water when he found himself having to give the kids something to eat when his "feed them before we leave the house "plan wasn't on the kids agenda.  You can make their food, but you can't make them eat.  When one has autism and explosive anger that can come on out of nowhere and leave you paralyzed with gawkers questioning your parenting ability, tisk tisking and never offering to help you...you are going to cave and get the McDonalds if it means nobody is going home with a split lip or bruises.  (Yes, it's really true, we really do get bruised and beaten by an 8 year old with no impulse control over such stupid things).  We were supposed to have a service dog to help us right now, but that is out of our hands.  I truly believe that God is watching out and we will get restitution financially that allows us some way to help our son.  SO, needless to say, I made it 6 days and tonight necessity forced meeting in the middle....we have my Dad here helping with the kids right now...and after a trip to the beach, and DH getting home really late from work tonight, we got $10 take out pizzas from pizza hut.  However, it was so much easier to control my portion, satisfy my basic need and move on.   New habits really do come when you put some time in to it.  I did not attack the food with emotion, but rather strictly as tonights food.  

Wish me luck on day 7!
