I haven't bought a fast food meal in weeks and I feel wonderful

I've been slowly becoming a healthier person, and I feel absolutely wonderful. Before anyone else congratulates me on this, I want to say that I did it because it's what I wanted, and no one else. It's fantastic to hear people's stories of weight loss and giving up fast food for a month, but people telling me to do that to get healthy really just made me doubt myself. I'm proud of myself, and I'm congratulating myself. <br><br>Reasons: <br><br>1. Weight loss: I've lost 10 pounds just by eating healthier. I've worked out a couple of times, but not seriously. Just walking and getting around more often. I feel it in my body, less jiggly, more flushed, just a better mood overall. <br><br>2. Energy: I have so much more energy when I eat healthier. I think it's because there's a bigger emphasis on proteins now, but I can get through the day without complaining and just wanting to go home and sleep. I'm more productive, I'm more happy. <br><br>3. Confidence: I haven't had a fast food meal in weeks now, and I feel so much more confident in just going out. I can wear my own clothes and not be self conscious of my stomach. I know my weight gain is natural, but I know that with healthy eating, I can maintain a healthy weight and I'll be happier. <br><br>4. Taste: My taste buds have absolutely exploded. Even apples and salads taste so good to me now. Carrot sticks with ranch used to be my snack, but now, I can eat carrot sticks raw and it tastes so good to me. It's great. <br><br>5. Stop being so picky: I'm very picky. I don't like a lot of things. But now, I'm eating roasted veggies and I like it. It's weird. <br><br>6. Overall health: I want to keep my body healthy. I'm less likely to lose weight and keep it off at a younger age, but I'm doing this and I'm happy. I'm not doing this because I have to, I'm doing it because I want to. <br><br>I'm proud of myself. I hope that everyone who wants to eat healthier can find the courage to. I hope you all find your strength like I did.
