i'm not actually a big fan of french fries. when i get food from popeye's i switch the fries for cole slaw. however i DO like sweet potato fries, lightly coated with extra virgin olive oil and salt-free mrs. dash OwO they're slightly healthier than white potatoes, you should try it. all i do is cut them into strips, put them in a bag, put a small amount of evoo in the bag and shake it all around til they're all coated, then lay them out on the baking sheet, cover them with the seasoning, then bake then for about 25 minutes at 425, though usually i check every few minutes after the 15-minute-mark to make sure they don't over-cook.

and i'm having a lot of trouble staying near my goals. today i screwed up by eating 380 calories worth of peanut butter x.x now it's 6 pm and i'm technically not supposed to eat anything else all night to stay within my calorie limits... T_T

I have had fried sweet potatos and I like them okay (I think I would like fried anything) but I cant say I like them as much as fast food fries. I almost never allow myself fast food anymore. If I am forced to eat at a fast food place I get a grilled chicken sandwich with mustard. Which I like (just not as much as I like a double cheeseburger).

Lots of calories in peanut butter but they are better calories than greasy fast food. Moderation....that is the key.
 
i really just can't STAND cooking. i can cook for my boyfriend, and can eat some of that too, but when it comes to just me eating, i'd rather have a freezer meal or ramen... both of which i need to STOP because of the high sodium, especially as i'm on blood pressure pills and it's still high.

Hi Alyssa,
I've been making my own frozen meals for work, it's not too difficult, it's healthier and costs about the same or less. I roast a piece of boneless breast in the oven until it's barely done, and cook up some rice and/or pasta. Put those both in the fridge until they've cooled down. Then divide them up between tupperware containers and dump a little sauce (tomato, salsa, teriyaki, etc) and a bunch of frozen veggies, and put them in the freezer. Calories are a little higher than a Lean Cuisine sort of frozen entree, but there's twice as much food cuz of all the veggies.

I think the total hands-on time is about 10 minutes, and you don't have to time anything perfectly.

Side note: from someone who's seen 348 on his scale, 188 is a far cry from "morbid obesity"!!

if i had checked the calories first i would not have had as much ^^;

i usually get the spicy chicken sandwich for 99 cents from the burger king dollar menu, i don't do mcd's except for the occasional mcflurry (there isn't a dairy queen near me, i'd much rather get a blizzard from dq), and usually the fast food i eat is some sort of chicken or pizza, which both are okay in moderation, recently i've actually been getting chicken on my pizza. i got a chicken alfredo pizza from domino's that was only like 200 calories per slice, whereas a normal slice would be like 300... thats a full 100 less :> plus it was also less expensive.

eh i dont have anywhere to go, so i can cook fresh all the time.

and i know i'm not morbidly obese, the name is actually from when i was deeply rooted in anorexic and bulimic behaviors and had that "all fat is evil" thought pattern in my head, and though calling myself Morbid Obesity would be ironic.
