My Lunch

Today I gave in into my craving... A Mc Donald Cheeseburger!!! my first one... Now I took the top out of the burger and ate three bites of meat and bread combo then I only ate the patty with the cheese.  Back before surgery (vsg 3/27/08) I was doing WW and a cheeseburger was not really a bad choice (depending what else I ate that day) Today I feel like I did something wrong!! But I don't feel bad, probably ate two bites extra. Someone tells me if I really need to stay away or if that is alright once in a while to eat that.  Thanks,

Is a McDonald's cheeseburger inheretly evil?  No.  But is it a great nutritional choice?  Again, no, but it's not  the worst choice you could have made.   For many WLS folks, fast food is a trigger, so many of us choose to avoid it for fear it will lead us down into dark, scary places where we don't ever want to go again.  But if you can have fast food once in a while and not make it a regular habit, the choice is up to you.  But if you find yourself eating fast food several times a week, you may want to make a decision to exclude it from your diet...  As for me, I eat fast food once in a great while, usually when I'm hanging out with my nieces or nephews, or when I'm on a road trip and it's what's most easily available.  At Wendy's, I love their chili.  Most other places I'll get a grilled chicken sandwich, and eat the chicken and part of the bun.  Heck, I may even snitch a few fries from my dining companion, but I don't order my own fries.  At McDonald's, I sometimes have a grilled chicken snack wrap, or the yogurt parfait, or the apple dippers.   Good luck making the right choice for you!!!
