Something only a FAT PERSON would say.

I'm addicted to the $1 sweet tea at mcdonalds. I dont know if I am addicted to the tea or the fact that I can get that much tea for $1.

MY opinion - you're lazy.

I make Lipton cold brew iced tea at home by the gallon.  22 packs (3 per gallon for 2.50)

I use Splenda in a simple syrup to make it sweet.


A little effort on your part and you can get away from the sugar. 


JMO.

I've tried my own tea, it doesnt taste good.  So I stick to mickey d's.  Umm Umm good!!!

I looked up the nutritional facts on your beloved tea.....

Small  16oz - 120 cal, 30g sugar
Medium 21 oz - 150 cal, 38g sugar
Large 32 oz - 230 cal, 59g sugar

You came on here talking about your pouch/surgery failed you - that you've done everything you can to lose and be successful.  Sucking down sugar in tea isn't part of the 'rules'.  Not saying don't do it - but you know sugar is the devil..............

As far a trying your own - how many different brands/brews did you try?  I am sure that Mickey D's tea is very good - I will never know, cause I know two fat people 'axioms':

1 - if it's got sugar, Imma like it and want it
2 - if it's got sugar and I have it, I'll keep getting it until I'm a slave to it and I will blow up real quick.

So how many of this suckers are you knocking back each day?

Does it really matter, but if you must know, maybe 1 or 2 a week.  I've tried several and different way of preparing it.  But I dont like it.  Something about the sugar, the combination of the ice and the tea that I really like.

Now as far as my pouch/surgery failing me, it has and unless you've walked in my shoes you will know.  And if you followed my journey, at one time I didnt even touch sugars, only natural ones from fruit. 

But as for me and my house, right now, I am drinking me some mickey d's tea.

Im glad I left the wine alone, I heard that has a lot of sugar and calories in it also.

sucking down bourbon and other alcoholic beverages as you claim to isn't part of the "rules" either.  I think you're a little harsh.  IMO, it's kind of ****** up for any addict to judge another.  Everyone is a slave to something and just because one may not have the setbacks another may have doesn't give them the right to point to the other and say "You're a sorry mutha fucka" or "I toldja so"  Just sayin.

and just like you're judging me an asshole and calling me on it - that's what the board is for.

By no means am *I* better than anyone here - never said I was.  I know we all have our vices - and no one has followed the path perfectly.  I thought we put **** on the table as a family and take the calling out as constructive. 

At least - that's how it usually goes......

I'm not judging and I didn't even insinuate "asshole"  All I did was express a sentiment and reinforce it with a parallel.  If you took it otherwise then it stands to reason that you may have been construed the same way. Again, just sayin,.

oh come on - you're really just the holder of the mirror?  Mkay.  If you say so. 

And did I construe it that way?  Well - I am, in fact, and asshole.  I know it, own it and have no plans to change it.  Do I feel I was wrong for my approach and statement in response to the thread?  Nope.  Not in the least - and will more than likely say something equally harsh or even condescending in the near future and will probably be guilty of or worse than whomever I'm calling out.

So - thanks for the statement of the blantantly obvious?   
  

I was gonna just ignore you, but it dawned on me that  you probably wouldn't realize that I was ignoring you, so I'm replying only to inform you that I'm ignoring you.

Peace and blessings.
