I don't eat McDonalds. The only thing I slightly use from there are their fries and it used to be chicken selects before they snatched them. The only fast food restaurants I eat at on a regular (which is like 2-3 a month for me) is Chick-Fil-A, Chipotle, and Sonic (their drinks and tots). I just prefer homecooked meals more.
------------------
Most of my black friends say I eat like a white person... apparently because I season my food with a minimal amount of salt, prefer steaming and baking over frying, and because I eat steamed vegetables as opposed to vegetables cooked with fatback and all of that unnecessary seasoning.
It's kind of hard for me to eat healthy especially living here in the south.
I mean,Pork BBQ
Chicken
Mac N Cheese
ALL of it
It's very hard, but I get the joy out of not feeling guilty after I eat and knowing that I'm essentially prolonging my life. I feel so heavy and bloated after eating unhealthy.
Nope. I actually get frustrated for being 116 lbs (I actually lost 4 lbs over the past week due to stress), but I know a lot of it has to do with my diet. My diet consists of mainly lean meats such as turkey, fish, and (some) chicken, vegetables, fruits, yogurt, granola, whole grains, and some nuts (). I only drink water. I think the only thing I really overindulge in is potatoes and pasta at times.

Does anyone else ABHOR traveling through the boondocks? I was having a convo with another member in that ghetto tracker thread about how scary the boondocks are.
I use to eat so unhealthy around like 5 years ago.
Now im eating like a personal trainer lol
People don't realize how much better you'll feel and look by just making healthier eating choices. It helps your teeth, your skin, your cognitive functions, etc.

It's the worst in NC. Whenever we come there or are going north it seems like it takes like 5 hours just to get through NC because it's nothing but trees and endless road.

NC is a big state.
Are you coming down i-85 or some other interstate?
To me, I-85 isn't all that rural and bad, sure other are rural stretches (Charlotte to Greensboro,Falls Lake to the state line) but the trees can hide a few things off some of the exits as well making them seem more rural than they are.
Usually 85 and I know it's big but damn. Georgia is bigger than NC and it doesn't seem nearly as tragic.
Well, the trees do hide quite a few things tbh.You wouldn't know Charlotte's IKEA store is right off 85 if you don't look past some of the trees.Greensboro's part of i-85 got realigned to the outskirts of town making it more rural than it seems I 85 North of Durham is the PITS.
Montana is the worst, and I took the back road there Never again
That and for some reason The DOT HATES building those Giant stacked overpasses like the ones you would see in Texas and Cali
The LONGEST interstate for me in NC is DEFINITELY i-40There are some good parts,RTP,Triad,Asheville and some Downright TERRIBLE parts (Anything between Wilmington and Raleigh) (Most of Western NC)
