This resonates hard. I'm currently 150ish and been there 3 years, but have topped out at twice that over several different iterations. I had to learn that cravings for junk food come from my brain not my body; so I "enjoy" junk food in the form of transfixed memory-lane wandering, until I'm done reminiscing, and then I move on. ❤️
For me it's the taste of Hellmann's mayo and turkey that will always be linked to bad food habits. A quick snack I could sneak when someone wasn't around. It would, of course, be other tastier things later but that's the one that sticks with me.
Btw, I loved seeing your mention of JG Melon's. My best friend was a bartender there for many years and he passed away a few years ago. I so wish he would have been able to see how things are going for me on the health front since it was important to him but he never talked to me about it.
My favorite restaurant in Paris is L’ami Louis, for similar reasons. Somehow the dickishness of the waitstaff is hilariously endearing. Brandy absolutely hates it! 😂
Thanks for the read. Our hunger is the key to maintain our weight to a certain level. Of course, junk food and snacks tastes 😋 great. But you know the results if you continue. I know my hunger, it follows me when I awake and sleep.

We talked about him once I think!
I’m sure I was at the very least in the same room with him a time or two…
JG will always be my favorite burger, a part of that is the atmosphere and people.
He said the waitresses are known for being salty.
They sure are!
