When you skip out on your favorite fast foods, do you feel deprived of the actual food, or just left out of the group? My hunch is that you maybe feel ostracized. It is easy to replace with safer foods though. At almost all the fast food places now, you can get a grilled chicken sandwich on a roll -- if veggies are a problem for you ask them for no onions, lettuce, tomato or pickle. Just the chicken and the bun. Then I usually ask for a packet of fat free italian dressing, and I put that on the chicken. I get a baked potato on the side, with a squirt of ketchup -- no sour cream or butter. Get an iced tea (not diet), and you have your meal! If you can eat dairy, go for the fruit and yogurt parfait at McDonald's for dessert. I personally can't eat any dairy, so I usually just sit there and think of all the pain and calories I'm avoiding by abstaining. Once in a while, if you are really stable, have ONE BITE of your friend's Big Mac, and one or two french fries. Then go wash your hands and pop a mint in your mouth and tell yourself that's all you get. Sounds like no fun, I know, but it's better than getting sick in the bathroom of a fast food restaurant!
