I think McDonald’s is trying to discourage me from going there. That might be a good thing! I went and saw they have new signs. The signs have the calories on them! OMG! Talk about freaky! I almost just drove off. You notice the key word almost. I didn’t. I was bad. I was hungry, aggravated, tired, and multiple other lazy words. I caved. I ate a lot of calories. (And McDonald’s told me I did!)
So does your McDonald’s now post the calories? Does that help discourage you? Does it make you feel guilty? How do you feel?
I felt guilty! But I did it anyway. 😦 I don’t know that I will do it again, though. There was some shame afterwards. I think this must be what a one-night-stand is like, except it was with a breakfast bagel!
I’m going to take my morning after nap now and suffer in my shame. Have a good day.

Living Too Large 
I had heard that McDonalds was going to start posting the calorie counts of their menu items, but it’s been so long since I’ve eaten there that I didn’t realize they’d actually done it. How would it make me feel? Not sure…I guess if I were in my trying to eat healthier mode, I’d appreciate the help with deciphering nutritional content on their items, but in my “I don’t care, I just want it” times, I’d probably not appreciate seeing how many calories I was eating. I have noticed lately that fast food isn’t tasting as good to me as it once did…and that’s probably a good thing, right?
I think it is good that it doesn’t taste so good. I have noticed I am not enjoying it either. I really didn’t like it too much after reading that sign! It really made the whole experience pretty bad. I don’t know if they were forced to do it or what, but they pretty much lost a customer, which is good for me! 🙂 I just can’t stand having those numbers stare back at me as I order.
What bothers e about MCDonald’s is that they’ve taken healthy alternatives and snuck in sugar, fat, and salt. Their addition of oatmeal was excellent; their implementation was miserable. Also, the fact that what I’ve seen about their hamburgers and fries not rotting ( m.refinery29.com/happy-meal-art-project? ) bothers me quite a lot. Now, twelve years in unrealistic, but kept from moisture? They don’t appear to rot in the same way other burgers of the same size and type do.
I’ve had their oatmeal and it’s not overly sugary. I like their parfait as well. I make those at home. Very good!
