I'm craving McDonalds....talk me out of going!
Okay, so I'm not a HUGE McDonalds fan, and I don't go very often, but every now and then I get a crazy craving for that crap. Right now, I basically can't work because I'm thinking of a Big Mac...and Cheeseburger...and the fries. THE FRIES. GAH! I've seen Super Size This, and even that doesn't help.

Help!

2. I feel you.
I stopped eating McGreasedrowns in 2004 after watching Super Size Me and I STILL want Big Macs every so often.

But then I remember how I used to be able to eat 2-3 in a sitting and after a while, every other Big Mac would be mailed in and look like a smashed slider with lettuce.

4. That movie did that for a lot of people. It didn't affect me for more than 1 day.
The next day I felt like eating some fries.

6. Don't go. You will almost assuredly regret it later.
If you absolutely MUST have something and aren't going to be able to work or function unless you go, then do this: have a regular cheeseburger (not a quarter pounder, not a Big Mac, nothing like that - just a regular cheeseburger) and a small order of fries. Small.

Eat just enough to satisfy your craving. If that's the whole cheeseburger and small order of fries, so be it. If that's half of each, throw the rest away! Or offer to split the order with a coworker.

8. You'll feel dirty after you've eaten it
That shit isn't food. I don't really know what it is.

9. Every now and then I get a craving for a smoke.
But you know how one thing leads to another? I never was full up on willpower so it's easier to resist the initial temptation.

Plus, those trans fats? Are some scary things. That's what finally made me swear off of fast food for good. I fully grok the Big Mac allure - for me, it was a QuarterPounder with cheese. The idea still makes me salivate now. But it's become like cigarettes. I know I can't touch them without going back fully, so I'm not even taking the first step.

Stay strong. Resist the Golden Arches.

10. Go get the shit..
You know you want it.. Succumb to fast food.. Fuck it. I'm drunk at 10:25 am. You can eat this crap and wake up in the morning. Fuck it.. Die happy.

11. Can't talk you out of it
you're having a Big Mac attack. Go! Go now! Run!

I visit McD's about once a year, but when I need it, I need it.

16. Each burger is made from the meat of thousands of cattle.
It's not real food. You have been programmed through advertising, cultural indoctrination and biochemical manipulation to accept it as real food.

17. Just get a small burger
and skip the fries. McD's is bad for you, and, I can think of better burger joints, but compromise and moderation is best...if it makes you happy, go for it.

25. google images. I did read something about this in the paper a year or two ago
Edited on Thu Jan-18-07 02:02 PM by izzybeans
I'm not really sure. But I used to make wings at a pizza joint and all sorts of "stuff" found its way into the shipments. If you think that's gross try sorting a box of chicken wings. It is the only time I have puked while cooking. I wouldn't doubt it if it were real, but I wouldn't claim it's not a photoshop. I can say that I do not eat chicken very often any more.

26. I had McDonalds for breakfast, 1st time there in months
But their Egg McMuffins are AWESOME. Too bad they shorten your life probably.

I usually have one once a month.
