Secret eating

Hmmm. The conference is over and I am kind of hungry. It's only 4:30pm and we have dinner already made at home. Maybe I could just stop for a snack since I have an hour drive home. I should go get something healthy. But I am feeling too lazy to get out of my car. Maybe I should just stop at McDonald's.

No, I really shouldn't. McDonald's is really bad. Tons of calories.

But I am hungry. It's kind of hot out....I could just grab a vanilla cone. That can't be TOO many calories, right? Right?

(A few minutes later, I notice a McDonald's.)

I really shouldn't pull in. I really should just keep driving.

(I turn in anyway.)

"May I please get a vanilla cone?" That should be healthier than a double cheeseburger or a small fry.

"I'm sorry but we do not have any ice cream today."

Shit. Well, I might as well go with my staple.

"Okay. Then can I have a double cheeseburger and a small fry?"

"That will be $2.16. Please pull to the first window."

F*ck. Why did I just do that? I should just get out of line and not pick up the food. But then the person at the window might get into trouble.

(Picks up the food and pays.)

I should just throw this out. It was only $2.16. I shouldn't eat this food. Damnit. I really need to stop doing this. I suck.

McDonalds fries are one of my faves! I always crave them when I have a hangover! LOL I'm trying to stay away also.

I think we all have days like that. As long as they don't happen too often, it's fine!

It's good to know we all succumb to our vices from time to time.

If it makes you feel any better - it's not secret eating once you blog about it! Now it's just a guilty pleasure and we all deserve those.
