Fast Food Not-So-Anonymous

I have a problem. I'm willing to admit it, because I seek any creative solution that will help me keep my figure as long as naturally possible.

Here's how it starts: I try to find food I want to eat at Whole Foods. I cruise straight to the veg and fruit and kind of wander around a bit and then I look at the bulk food a little, and make my way past the fish and the wine and beer and then to the beef. There's nothing I want there, either. I go over to the prepared foods, where I stare a little more and then think to myself, "Self, you're running out of options." I don't have a problem looking at the food, but I just don't want any of it.

No, I don't want noodles. Or soup. Or a salad. Or a breakfast burrito or a cinnamon bun. I don't want the fancy pizzas or the pretty orzo salads or the $1.99 latkes. It's really frustrating! So even when I'm trying to find something healthy and (not even necessarily) good for me, none of it is appetizing. And I can usually find something I want to eat, especially at Whole Foods. Nope. Not anymore. It's impossible.

So I go home nearly empty-handed. And I wonder why we don't have anything to eat when I return. I don't pack foodies for little field trips (more than a few hours away from the house) because I don't really want to eat anything. This is where my problems begin. And they usually end at Wendy's.

I will admit it, I'm ok with Wendy's grilled chicken sandwich. And I am really not familiar with fast food menus, but I'm slowly getting better at them because I find myself ready to pull over every once in a while and instead I pull into a drive-thru. After ten minutes and a few bites of sandwich, I generally recover. The funny thing is, I don't even want to eat the sandwich or its hamburger friends, but I go out of desperation. And so far it has worked for me. But what I know these foods are doing to my body doesn't work. So I am taking suggestions. But don't be offended if I don't want to take advice or eat any of your suggested meals, because it's hard enough to find something to eat right now.
