It's no secret...I've had an on-going feud with my weight for a long time now. We just don't get along. Actually, I think we are enemies. I now realize that my weight and my monsters are allies. Damn...they were tag-teaming me all along.
Last year, I finally got up the courage to fight back and I've managed to keep off those 100 pounds and my monsters have been relegated to solitary confinement. But I have to admit that I struggle with both.
Lately, it's the fast food that's been difficult. We're a family on the go. It's a hell of a lot easier to blow into a McDonald's grab some food and keep going. My son's can eat fast food and lose weight...go figure. As for me, I've down-sized from a Big Mac, Large Fries, and a Large Coke to one or two plain hamburgers and a bottle of water. Hardly seems worth the effort, huh?
And then I saw a chart that lists the calories and fat content of McDonald's food...for those of you with weak stomach's you may want to look away for this part of my blog...
If you eat a quarter pounder with cheese, a large fry, and a large coke, you've just consumed over 1,100 calories and nearly 50 grams of fat. I don't even want to think about how long I would need to spend on an exercise bike to work that off. But those fries...they are so good. I think I hear them calling my name....Bill....Bill...
I saw this cool trick that Jesus did in the Bible when he was being tempted...I think I'll try it...
"Get thee behind me McDonald's fries!" - Hey, I think it worked...
Stay away from the fast food. It's the devil in disguise.
Be Well.
Bill
