My problem with food began when I graduated from high school. About that time, I began eating out a lot. There were two fast-food restaurants near the place where I worked, so I ate lunch at one or the other almost every day. I found it much easier to go to a fast-food restaurant than to prepare my own lunch.When I moved away from home my eating habits got worse. I didn"t know how to cook, and I didn"t have much money; but my favorite fast-food restaurant was just two blocks away. Eating there seemed like the easiest and cheapest option. In addition to eating the wrong kind of food, I ate way too much. I wasn"t satisfied with a standard fast-food meal. I ordered more French fries, a larger soft drink, and an extra hamburger—whatever I could afford—in the largest size available.The turning point came when I was in my late 20"s. I started thinking more seriously about my health. I was overweight. I felt sluggish all the time, and I lacked self-confidence. I knew that I needed to make changes. So I began to try to get my eating under control.I took a gradual approach. First, I reduced the amount of food I ate. 1 would tell myself, "This isn"t my last meal; I can always eat again." At times I literally had to walk away from the dinner table. But I felt good afterward, as if I had won a victory.Besides I had to give up something completely. For example, I eliminated soft drinks and drank only water. That was difficult. I loved soft drinks, and I hated water. After I drank a glass of water, I would take a small cup of juice, which put some flavor in my mouth. After a while, water itself became more appealing.Now I still do go out to eat occasionally. But when I do, I control how much I eat. If the portion I"m served is too big, I ask for a take-out box. Then I put half of the meal in the box before I start eating. That way, I consume a reasonable portion instead of eating. The author ate in fast-food restaurants to ______.

A. solve his problem with food
B. save time and money
C. satisfy his demand for food variety
D. change his eating habits
