'Super Size Me' Be Damned

[Alex]

Read weight loss forums. A lot of them say this (drink water 30 minutes before you eat to supress appetite and don't drink while eating or some period afterwards).

No medical evidence for it though.

Twenty five posts and no mention of McNuggets??

I've never eaten a Big Mac, but about twice a year I'll hazard the McD drive through for Chicken McNuggets and the best fries on the planet.

I read Fast Food Nation, which does go into horrifying detail on McNuggets, and I still eat them. That really demonstrates how tasty they are.

You go, GC. We're all sinners here.

I'm glad they closed the McDonald's near my work. I used to eat there far too often ... not because the food was so tempting, but because the price was. They offered a four dollar lunch compared to the ten dollar meal offered everywhere else.

Well, once I got up to two or three McMeals a week, I started to feel ill.


I have not really craved any of their food since, but I will stop in for a burger on the run once in a blue.


And yeah, that sucks about animals and food workers ... but - and yes this is a rationalization - if I refused to contribute to every business to which I object on a visceral level, I would have no choice but to become Amish.

I had pie tonight while watching The Biggest Loser.

I had just run 5 miles, that has to count for something, right? Right?

I don't know why but we noticed after we all went to the park to walk/run/ride bikes everyone came back in through the kitchen for something, and not water.

And, my daughter and boyfriend sat and ate ice cream dripping with chocolate sauce watching The Biggest Loser.

By the way, I think that sort of sucked that they sent Adrian home for the reasons they did. She did poorly, didn't that mean it was good to keep her around? I know they were upset these people came on the show after losing the weight with their families but they still did it. Different strategies and when she came on the show it wasn't fair to expect her to just blend right in with their exercise programs. I wonder if they'll do this again next season?

Uh, back on topic....

Today I am going to rebel against my innerself and work my ass off cleaning and organizing...really....as the computer calls to me with its puzzles, message boards and pretty pictures of vacation ideas....

That's a really big selling point - last trip to the USA, all of our breakfasts in SFO (except one) were at McD's .... because they had a $1 breakfast menu - we were full on $2.00 each for breakfast.

That one other breakfast - corned beef hash, juice & coffee - cost $6.75

This morning, I don't feel like eating a Big Mac. in fact, the thought kind of repulses me. Ah, so is the way of the dual cricket.

Now I need to think of something else to rebel about. Hmmm...

Have some runny eggs and smoke while eating them.
