Confession: Burger Binge
Oh man, oh man....I've been eating fairly a well-balanced and healthy diet since getting pregnant. Well, not so much for the past 4 days. On each day, I have gotten a burger or cheeseburer from a fast food drive thru. (Bad Paula!) Perhaps my body is craving protein or iron...or just the mayo and bacon on the Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger. I dunno, but I feel guilty!
Otherwise, my eating has been healthy for th remainder of the day...just not during the burger binges.
Thanks for letting me confess,

"Confessions of a Cheeseburger Drama Queen"
I have ALWAYS had a weakness for burgers. Not candy, ice cream, or cakes. But Burgers, with cheese, bacon, fried onions, mayo..........yummmmmmmmm
So I still cave. And do it WAY too much. So you aren't alone. And I can't even blame it on being preggo. It's just "no will power" LOL

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Next time you crave a burger, make it just like you normally would but don't put a burger on the bun. You will be shocked that it is almost as enjoyable without the meat. 20 years ago I worked at BK and we would sell veggie whoppers. I thought it was crazy until I tried one and you don't miss the meat at all.
I ate a McDouble off the $1 menu at McDonald's last night for dinner. It was so yummy. I enjoyed every single bit and washed it down with a water. I thought this morning I'd feel guilty after getting on the scale. Hopped on and it was 135! I'm 14 weeks along with our 3rd baby so......I was not guilty at all. I see another McDouble in my future....sad I know but hey...that's life!
All will be okay.....just like I tell myself don't make a bad habit of it and you'll be fine

I look at it like this a Wendy's Jr. cheeseburger is far better for you than lets say Krispy Kreme donuts or a candy bar! AND if you really feel guilty just take of half of the bun and I know this is crazy but if you take off the bottom bun it still looks and feels the same when you bite it!!
oh and gee thanks because now I want one!! :-)

I'm so jealous!!! I had the DS so protein and fat are my BFFs. However since I got pregnant I can't even stomach the THOUGHT of a greasy burger....my favorites were from Wendy's....sooo good.
I used to have a couple a week. Well I stopped the other night and it was all I could do to CHOKE down 1/2 of it....I just couldn't eat it....anything that resembles protein makes me wanna gag, steak, chicken, etc...which is bad....I need protein!!
We are heading to Olive Garden for dinner tonight b/c the seafood (shrimp and scallops) alfreado "sounds" good to me....shrimp are about the only protein I can stand right now....
