shorty2013 reacted to VSGAnn2014 in What Are Your Fast Food Faves?
Sometimes I have to make road trips 100 - 200 miles from home each way. So in those instances I stick with fast food that I know -- and that's very often McDonalds:
Egg McMuffin with egg, cheese, Canadian bacon - 300 calories
Breakfast burrito - also 300 calories
Cheeseburger - also 300 calories
Each of those items has enough Protein to satiate me and get me through to the next mealtime.
On those trips I always carry bottles of diet iced tea and Water in the car.

Thank you, Rocky!
Three months ago I didn't think I could stand such a long wait, but the time passed fast. It's hard to believe, but I'm all packed and ready to go.

@@Sweet Pee Thanks for the advice. I will be staying in the clinic for one night Recovery House for 10 nights post-op and they have motorized hospital beds, so you can bet I'll be keeping that thing in the exact position they tell me to! I'll have to invest in a new wedge pillow for when I get home. I threw out the one from my Tummy Tuck when I moved last fall....

I was raised by chronically dieting parents at a time when aesthetics were very important to the whole family. My father, grandmother, and aunts always had a snarky comment for what I was eating or drinking, frequently shaking their heads and reminding me I had "such a pretty face". I don't remember ever being unaware that I was larger than my cousins and entirely unacceptable. My mother dragged me to regular sessions with a dietician when I was 7 or 8, where I was given a meal plan that outlined more food than I could even eat. The family soon got its way - I was bulimic by 10 and anorexic by 15. My thinking at the time was very all or nothing, and the only way I could overcome the anorexia was to switch from 'nothing' to 'all' and not think about it. Obviously, obesity soon followed.
The sad part is, I came across an old photo album just the other day while unpacking a box, and upon looking at childhood photos of myself, I'm not even sure I WAS overweight. Maybe by BMI terms I was, but I wasn't really fat. No, I wasn't a dainty thing like my cousins and most classmates - I was muscular and solid. I still am. Just a different body type is all.
