I was sitting in the car with Dear Husband this afternoon, and commented that I had not had anything from McDona1d’s in more than four weeks. I’ve been able to ween myself away from fast food for the most part, but I have this thing for one of the breakfast items at McDona1d’s. I managed to keep it down to once a week, and when I told my doc that I had fast food once a week, she looked horrified. Of course, then my general fast food intake increased, perverse puppy that I am. Then I had to go through the angst of cutting back again.
For the past four weeks, while I haven’t been able to drive, I’ve been making better meal choices. I didn’t miss fast food once during the four weeks, but now that I’m coming closer to driving again, the idea of a fast food breakfast lodged itself in my brain and won’t go away!
Dear Husband asked how long it takes to ween oneself off junk. I’d like to be able to say four and a half weeks, but it depends on how I hold up to temptation.
Arrrgh!!!
It's just my state of mind!
Ooh, yuck! If there is anything at a fast food restaurant that I do not want, it is anything that they offer for breakfast. Leftover pizza is much better! (Actually, I haven’t had pizza of any kind, for anything since Hunky Husband was deployed by the Red Cross on the 2nd.) I get angry because I can’t get a “junior” burger before 11:00 AM–that all they serve is “breakfast”. It must be people like you who cause them to do that! *laughing*
im curious to know which particular item it is.
i have phases on fast food but i prefer burger king. i like the char grilled taste.
left overs of any kind are my favourite breakfast item!
Ugh, Burger King. I don’t think I’ve ever actually had a warm meal there (or even part of the meal being warm). Must be why I only go there once every 2-3 years and then only under duress.
Not that I do any other fast food much more often (a couple times a year maybe).
The only FF breakfast items I like are from McDonalds – the breakfast burrito (everything is great with salsa on it) and the McGriddle.
Buffy–When I have pizza for breakfast, it is usually supreme (from Pizza H) or the works (from Papa J’s), since those are what HH prefers. When HH is here, we generally have pizza on Friday night–with at least 1/2 of a pizza left over (1 1/2 if we used a coupon for 2). The leftover pizza is not usually consumed at breakfast, but it is OK by me and I do that on occasion. My usual breakfast is an AllBran bar or an egg+one egg white/toast or cottage cheese and fruit or leftovers of some kind (in the winter, oatmeal w/raisins).
