Since I joined the fitness center, a piece of pecan pie or a second helping of moo shu pork looks different to me. Instead of looking like a little bit of heaven on a plate, they now look like dollar signs circling the drain undoing all the good of at least three workout sessions.
So, when I pulled into Jack in the Box last night, I had every intention of ordering a grilled chicken salad or a grilled chicken pita. However, someone pulled up behind me and, paralyzed by indecision, I panicked and blurted out, "Ultimate Cheeseburger."
"Please drive through."
"Crap."
Evidently, my brain and my body had decided long before I entered the drive-thru that it was going to eat a cheeseburger. On my way to Houston a couple of weeks ago, my body forced me to stop and buy a Twinkie in Seabrook. I usually go for the Zingers when I'm in a snack cake sort of mood but, for some reason, my left thigh told my brain it just had to have a Twinkie. Best damn Twinkie I ever ate.

I'm having the opposite problem! My brain decides it wants something sinful. I take two bites and my body rejects it.
ReplyDeleteDamn pregnancy.
I passed there at lunch and thought about an Ultimate, I guess I know what I'm having tonight!
ReplyDeleteThanks
Wow! I had no idea that fast food was so.... not sure what, just wow!
ReplyDeleteI rarely eat fast food because its usually all wheat and/or milk based.
The amount of protein looks good, but the salt, fat seems a bit high not to mention the calories.
I imagine your body could really crave something in the meal, but you got a lot of other stuff too.
According to US dept of ag. in 1963 Pecan pie- 418c, 5.1g fat(~45 c), 51 carbs, 221 sodium.
I'd go with the pie but skip the crust.
leslie-I understand that body rejection thing all too well, and I don't even get to be pregnant :-(
Leslie - That sucks!!!
ReplyDeletePeggy - You won't regret it. :)
Susan - "A bit" high?! Hahahahah!! It's a heart attack wrapped in paper.
I am in job hunting diplomacy mode and being just a mite careful ;-)
ReplyDeleteYikes! Did steven King insert that item in the menu?
ReplyDeleteSusan - Good plan and good luck!
ReplyDeleteLorna - It IS horrifying, isn't it?
The original Ultimate was just meat, cheese, mayo and bun. I long for the good old days.
ReplyDeletePokerboss - You can probably ask for it that way. It'll take longer though but you'll know it's fresh.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ULTIMATE CHEESEBURGERS!!!! except the ketchup (that oughta make it low cal)
ReplyDeleteGeorge - I was surprised at the ketchup myself. It didn't have it in the olden days. I liked it though.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an average lunch to me!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo unhealthy. Damn wife's pregnancy!
Grimm - Sympathy eating?
