My name is Tara....and I am a fast food addict!
There, I said it.... Now help me stop!
With a 4 year old and a six month old, it seems that any meal that I get to actually eat is wrapped in paper and eaten while I am driving from one place to another!
Any tips????

yes....stop going to fast food places 
make a sandwich at night and if you only have time to eat in the car then you can at least have a healthy sandwich you made

Also, make up baggies of almonds and dried fruit. It's a filling snack that when paired with yogurt and some fruit, is a perfectly good lunch.

i agree! pre-pack some hard boiled eggs, nuts, granola, grapes, etc. Or stock up on healthy granola bars or make fruit smoothies/shakes the night before so you can grab and go. if you think you're going to hit a fast food place, try to plan ahead to get the healthiest option you can... like if you go to taco bell, get fresco tacos, or if you go to mcdonalds try a grilled chicken salad and yogurt parfait

Maybe try to opt for more healthy choices at the drive thru...i like Wendy's Grilled Chicken sandwich (only like 6 grams of fat) with a baked potato instead of fries...i do allow myself a big mac & fries every now and then though  so i am not one to "preach" haha

Re: My name is Tara....and I am a fast food addict!
Are you going to fast food places because the kiddies are begging for it or because it's easy? I used to be the BIGGEST fast food junkie. Eating all that junk made me feel like complete and utter crap.
You're going to have to start making meals at home plain and simple. Avoid the fast food and your desire for them will eventually go away. I used to eat a big mac and large fries at least 2 or 3 times a week. I can't even remember the last time I stopped there for even a cheeseburger.
Good luck 
ETS: If not for yourself do it for your kids. Set a good and healthy example for them. You don't really want them getting their nutrition from fast food do you?

What she said! You want to be healthy for them too! Try packing some food in little baggies and maybe making yourself a healthy sandwich (turkey, pb&j) and taking it on errands with you. Fast food is empty calories. Even the healthier options have very little fiber and too much added salt

Get salads and light dressing at the fast food places!
Also I agree with others, pack snacks. I snack all day. Drink alot of water to help fill up!
