Yoinks!

Now that I'm restricted on what I can eat, I'm really noticing all the food commercials on TV and food references/stories on the news. Of course, with the news, January is all about dieting, so that explains the increased attention on food.

I guess January could explain all the fast food deals. Let's see, I've seen commercials for pizza Hut, KFC, Sonic, Dairy Queen, Wendy's, McDonald's, Jack-in-the-Box.

The KFC deal looks tempting. 2 pc meal on Monday and then a chicken fried steak on Wednesday, both just $1.99.

Pizza Hut is pushing a new pizza that looks quite appetizing.

Then the other day, the Paradise Bakery sent a full color catalog to the house of everything they offer. Man, all those baked goods and sandwiches look good.

What's a man to do?

Stay Strong,

What's a guy to do? How about turning off the media delivery system (radio, tv, ...) and going outside for a walk (or a shovel , depending on your location). I've convinced myself that fast food is no different for me than illegal drugs--just another poison. Fight the good fight!

Just saw a TV ad for Church's.

6 boneless chicken wings plus fries for $2.99

or

4 honey-butter biscuits and 9 pieces (legs & thighs) for $6.99

The commercial looked tempting, but I find Church's chicken to be nasty. I like Popeye's or KFC.

Should Congress ban fast food commercials from TV just like tobacco and liquor ads have been?

Maybe you just are noticing now b/c you can't have it, but every January, usually the first two weeks of the month, I guess because so many people diet, the fast food chains advertise these specials to get people to come in.

I've noticed this for years!

It's kind of like women not noticing pregnant women around, until they are pregnant, and then it seems you see them everywhere.

Stay strong.

Taco Bell Cheesy Gordita Crunch!

Looks yummy and deadly.

Change the Channel. I also had this problem during the liquid stage. I felt very angry at the world for getting to eat this stuff! When you get to mushies you'll feel MUCH better. It is just a sort of withdrawal from yummy BAD fast food life. It'll be okay! Just drink something and change the channel....fast.

Actually, for me it is food porn. I enjoy it vicariously.
