Question

I have this thing about needing to get food EVERY TIME I’m in a car. It’s like a bad habit I can’t kick. Get in a car, hit a drive thru. It’s awful. Doesn’t matter what time of day. Car=Food. Does anyone else struggle with this? How can I kick it? HELPPPPP

Answer 1

Maybe put some ww snacks in your car. this way you can have a low point snack. or stash veggies or cheese sticks in your purse. buy a few of the ww chicken sticks or some turkey jerky to keep in car. Or perhaps try to cut down slowly on car snacks . maybe no car snack Sunday . Good luck.  

Answer 2

I am too cheap with my money to spend it on food fast food . food prep or buy good things that u only have for the car like special treats

Find healthy things you enjoy and take them with you in your car. You can eat a whole avocado and come out ahead of what you can get in drive thru.

OMG! I thought I was the only one! I used to get a bag if Funions and a Mountain Dew every night on my way home from work, which obviously added to my need for WW. Now I have a travel mug of ice water and fruit. If I don't have fruit, I have sugar free Werthers caramel and chocolate hard candy. 2 peices get me home!

My solution was to have ZERO money, on any card. It helps a lot!

Sprinkle an essential oil you like in car, listen to music, bring your own food and drink, keep rice cakes or other crunchy snack in car, tell yourself there is nothing you need from those places and they have no control over you!  

Answer 20

Me too. I keep low point snacks in the car and that works

Answer 21

I am so happy to hear that I’m not alone about fast food. Yep every time I am behind the wheel I have to stop and get something. I love burgers , no matter where they come from. I have to have my cup always full of Diet Coke. I will think of you @defluxion5 next time I stop at McDonalds. I’m sure it will be tomorrow.  

Answer 22

Drive different routes passing as few ff places as possible. And remember, most of that stuff is crap--God only knows what is in it--and you will feel like crap after eating it.  

Answer 23

That's me but cigs

Answer 24

What I found was the “cure” for me was to decide which charity was working for a cause I was grateful not to need for myself, then when the urge to go and buy something to eat when I was not truly needing it, was to put the money I would have spent into a box that was with me, to send to that charity. It was very hard and I failed a few times but it worked! Because I did it from a thankful attitude it was less painful and gave me a mood boost

Answer 25

Take healthy food with you. WW works if you plan ahead

Answer 26

It's a hard habit to break but you can do it. Why not start one day at a time. Tell yourself that just for today you won't do it and see how you do. If it works try it again the next day. Before you know it you 'll break that habit. You can do it!  

Answer 27

Me too and I work from my car. !  

Answer 28

No don’t want my car dirty !  

Answer 29

Put some old stale putrid food in your car. LOL.  

Answer 30

Answer 31

Always have snacks with you
