stop eating french fries

...so far.

I’ve made a pledge to give up french fries for a year as a consequence to not completing another goal on 43things. I figured that either way I would be doing something good for myself. My last fry binge was 1/01/08 at 2:00 pm at Jeffery’s diner in Santa Cruz, CA. (my favorite place to “score” fries.) So on 1/01/09 I will indulge in a plate of fries in the same locale if possible. I want to make it a once a year thing on New Year’s Day. I believe I can do this.

And I’m going to be optimistic about this goal and call it “done” just to bolster my resolve to do this.

it’s more about moderation. in reality, i only ate french fries like maybe once or twice a month. but it was like a bucket of fries. like the whole bucket. so the real issue is to eat only a few of those golden greasies and not scarf down the whole damn shabang.

and instead of getting those amazingly delicious pomme frites, i ordered the mash potatoes instead. just as delicious, and surely just as buttery fattery, but it’s all good!

that will prolly go in the i give up bin! well, maybe if we put parameters on this baby and be realistic about it. how about stop eating them for a month?

Still on my list? I hardly eat french fries. I may dip and dap is someone else’s, but it’s certainly been awhile since I’ve purchased my own. And I don’t crave it! Which is a good thing, because for awhile, those McDonald’s fries had me addicted like something serious. But I am no longer a victim!!

It wasn’t all that hard, most of the time. Just when you get those weird cravings – there was a time or two when I actually picked up a French fry and raised it to my lips, but put it down. My body will not let me cheat!

Now they don’t taste all that amazing. I prefer roasted asparagus (wash and dry asparagus, coat with oil (peanut is great) and salt and pepper. Roast in an oven at 450F for 20ish minutes (watch them towards the end) and enjoy!)

I still like sweet potato fries if you can find them.

Damn.

I give up French Fries till the holidays. My sister did this the last few months and looks great!

This is ridiculous. I eat them waaaayyy too much. I mean, 2-3 times a week. That’s nasty. And so unhealthy. So today I will refrain from eating them and whenever I get the urge, I’ll buy a salad instead.

LOL….
