Best way is to not be able to afford it.

You are 18 and paying your own bills. Create a budget that covers you fixed monthly expenses and includes your gasoline.

Everything else, you put into a Savings Account. Assume you are working. You could ask if your employer has a 401k. If he does, he may give you EXTRA money over what you currently make now if you put some of your money into the 401k. This is a retirement fund that YOU can NOT touch until you are 59 1/2 years old. People your age will NEVER receive any social security, so it will be up to you to save for the future.

If they don't have 401k, then keep the money in savings account until you have at least $2,000. Then you can start investing in a ROTH IRA. Which is another retirement type account for your future.

Allow yourself amount to splurge breakfast, lunch and dinner one day a week.

Good luck.

Hmmm...this is some great advice but I dont have a job. My parents bought the condo for me closer to university and the accountant pays all the bills. But I think what you said above makes total sense. Maybe I need a job so I make my own money.

OP, you sound convincing. If you're really not a shill -- just jerking us around for the fun of it -- then you need to confront reality. Try reading a book on urban survival, for example. You might find some other changes to make in your life besides quitting fast food.

Original Message I've moved out of home into my own condo in the middle of the city. There are fast food restaurants almost on every block and I just cant seem to control my desire to eat unhealthy fast food.

I've always eaten healthy at home, by force I might add, since my parents wont even dream of touching anything from McDonlands or KFC. As kids I would daydream of going to McDonalds. Once my brother sneaked in some and we had a blast but the nanny discovered the apple pie and fries under our bed and informed my mom who went total nuts on us.

Now that I've turned 18 and moved into my own place I cant seem to get enough of fast food. So far I've tried almost all of them but I fear I've become addicted to KFC. All I can think of every single waking moment is KFC KFC KFC.

I've never had acne before but now I do. I also have dark under eye circles now and am 20 lbs heavier than when I moved out of the house.

When I'm not sitting my ass down in a fast food restaurant, I'm ordering over the phone or the internet. I just cant stop. I thought of going to professional therapy but my parents would find out. I also turned away the cleaning lady in fear she might discover all these empty boxes here and would tell my mom what I'm upto.
