No McD, Yes DD.
I’ve been very hungry lately. I’ve been craving bad foods and wanting to pig out on anything. But I haven’t.
Today, my 13 yr old brother asked me to get McDonald’s for him and his 2 friends. The order was: 3 double cheeseburgers, 1 cheeseburger, 2 large fries, 1 small fry, and a vanilla milkshake. My mouth was watering as I read the list.
Driving the 3 minutes down the road to our McDonald’s, I was angry that I couldn’t eat it. I wanted it. I contemplated getting whatever I wanted and pigging out on it, just to get it out of my system. Then I reminded myself that it would be even harder tomorrow if I pigged out today. I thought about getting a salad with grilled chicken. But I only like the ranch dressing, and if I’m going to spend the calories, I want to get something hearty.
Then I remembered a Dunkin Donuts commercial I saw for Egg Whites Flat Bread Sandwiches!! There’s a DD on the same street as the McD! But I just saw the commercial yesterday, will they have them in stock yet?
They do! I got the turkey sausage one (as opposed to the vegetable one). It has turkey sausage and spinach cooked right in with the egg whites. It also comes with reduced fat mottzarella cheese on a multigrain bread.
It’s pretty good. It’s no fast food. I will never crave it as much as a burger and fries, but it filled me up and was kinda tasty. And best of all, I didn’t exactly feel like I was missing out on getting fast food today.
PS: I snuck a fry out of one of the large fries that I got for my brother’s friend. It wasn’t even that good.

Great job on making good choices!
I try to mix things up. If I have a craving for something I do give in but eat a smaller portion. I will get a happy meal versus a regular meal. I find that if I give in to my cravings I won’t be tempted to overindulge.
Like last night I had 2 handfuls of chips because I knew I was within calorie count.
I had one on Sunday. Very tasty!
Now THAT’S willpower!!
YOU GO GIRL!!!! I am so proud of you. I was the same way about a week and a half ago now. My hubby wanted Chinese take out (which by far is my favorite). I am a whiner baby though I guess. I actually caught myself crying with the struggle of whether to get myself anything. When hubby asked what was wrong, I simply retorted “I HATE FOOD”. I’ve grown alot in that short stint. I have been bombarded recently by foods that I normally would have drove 20 miles to get and I haven’t indulged yet. It gets better with time. You hang in there. Kudos to you and keep up the great work.
