I should have done this long ago. Every time I get McDonalds for lunch at work someone has a dig at me about it. Maybe they’re just jealous because I eat so much crap and don’t put much weight on, heh. But the other day I had a change of heart and decided to turn over a new leaf. I signed a piece of paper which said, words to the effect of “from this day forward I will not eat at McDonalds ever again. (Except on Sunday mornings before work)”. Sunday mornings are a tradition and if there’s been drinking the night before, it’s actually quite a nice start to the day.. In general though, I’ve been having way too much fast food lately, it’s not only expensive but it’s not that nice either.. I may not put on weight from eating McDonalds but it’s probably not doing me a whole lot of good; so I am never having McDonalds for lunch or dinner ever again. Burger King is still a maybe but I am going to cut down. It’s official. I’m off now to make my lunch for work tomorrow, a nice bagel with some ham and salad, oh and Reggae Reggae Sauce!!
Hmmm.. I gave up McDonalds for the New Year.. but the end of the first week I’d had 7 meals. I’m also quite skinny (and it’s not bulimia before people just to conclusions).
The problem is there’s fast food, and there’s healthy food. When you drive around as much as I do, driving up to a window and ordering anything is a bonus. It’s not that I don’t want to walk from my car to the restaurant (I cycle to work daily, over 5 miles). It’s just that it’s so much more convenient. If I’ve got 100 miles to cover.. I hate getting out of the car until I’m on my way.
Anyhow, best of luck with your plan. I found tuna sandwiches, steak and chips, and a few pizza’s here and there (as well as pasta bakes and Lloyd Grossman’s Sweet Thai Chille) fantastic replacements when I finally gave them up. but still… aim for 1 McD a month
