As a result of Spicy chicken sandwiches from Wendy’s and McDonald’s Sweet Tea. I am now the owner of a size 14 pencil skirt from H&M. Ugh! Yes I know that just means my butt and hips have ballooned 2 sizes which is not a bad thing in my community. Granted, I can still wear my old size in regular skirts and pants, but pencil skirts need a certain fit so they don't seem skanky and hoochie. More along the lines of slinky yet professional. So, dare I say it, I think I may have to pull back from the Checker’s fries. And the spicy chicken and fries seen here. Maybe I will even put less croutons on my salad. As I hang my head in shame in this picture I am still thinking about the good old days when I could eat anything and not gain weight. Aww man, remember the McRib! That thing was awesomely perfect!!!! I haven't had red meat since I was 14, but I still remember that thing. Do they have a fast food patch? Or gum I can chew to make me eat more greens and less yellows and browns. That just sounds awful, but I guess those are the colors I am digesting. I vow to taste the rainbow from this day forth, and at least get back to a 10 in my pencil skirt.
Your journey is the struggle that most women in our peer group these days are discussing. Amongst my friends we are asking the same question, "What happen to the days when I could eat anything with no repercussions?" We have entered the age of responsible eating.
ReplyDeleteFor myself, I have had to stop eating a number of foods until my health is restored because beyond the weight I had become a 60year-old in a 31 year-old body. I'm happy to say it's been 2 months since my last drive-thru. And with a little nutritional discipline and a detox program, I'm down 15lbs. Some things that may help is learning a bit about the nutritional content of fast food. I recently saw a report on calories and sodium content in some of our favorite restaurant foods. It was shocking. And if you haven't seen the documentaries, Super Size Me, Earthlings or Food Inc, I recommend you watch them. It will give you a new perspective on the food you eat and you will be longing for the green stuff like your life depends on it (which it kind of does).
