Never Eat at McDonald's again

Okay, I had McDonald’s today. One of those free chicken sandwiches with purchase of a medium soft drink. And I hate to say it, but it was totally delicious.

Starting back on this tomorrow.

I haven’t had any McDonalds in a while, and I’m okay with that. I’ve had some Taco Bell (a weakness) and twice some Wendy’s (since I was with friends).

I watched Supersize Me and that definitely has helped me with this goal! Knowing where chicken nuggets come from was sort of a downer, but ultimately for the better.

So someone gave me one of those free food things from the McDonalds Monopoly game, like a free breakfast sandwich or something. Since I’m a very, very poor college student, I use it because it’s free food. And then I win something else. Like three times. I’ve had more McD’s in the past month than I did all year before this because it’s all free. I don’t know what’s going on in the universe that this keeps good/bad luck happening. On one hand, I could totally use free food, on the other, I don’t want it to be from McDonalds. If it happens again, I’m giving it to the homeless woman who always asks me for a dollar.

I was on vacation this week and ended up eating at McDonalds twice. Ick. I feel like I gained 10 pounds (though I’m sure the other food didn’t help either).

I had McDonalds for breakfast. On the good side, though, I hated eating it. I just needed something to eat. So I got an egg/cheese/bacon biscuit thing. All it did was reconfirm that I never, ever want to eat there again.

It’s probably been about two months now. The only fast food I’ve eaten is Jimmy John’s, which isn’t really bad for you (especially since I get the veggie). I was craving some McNuggets the other day, but got through it. They would still be really good though…

I biked past at least six McDonalds today, mostly on the same road. In four miles. I didn’t stop at any of them, nor did I want to. It just disturbed me enough that I have to share that information. It’s seriously disgusting, the corporation and the obesity and the lack of quality that we allow surround us. Sigh.

I haven’t had McDonalds in about a month. I find that when I eat fast food a lot, I crave it. When I don’t eat it, I don’t miss it.
