McDonalds Addiction

I have come to the realization as of late, that I have a problem. Well I have lots of problems, but more specifically I LOVE McDonald's. I could (and often do) eat there every day. Nothing will compare to the height of my addiction in high school. Since then I have cut down and I think I have done pretty well. I usually try to eat at McDonald's as often as possible. The desire does not always occur when I drive by (well sometimes those golden arches just call my name), but more of "I am so hungry nothing will tantalize my taste buds as much as a ____________. That blank can be filled in by pretty much everything on the menu except the Big Nasty (Extra) and the McNasty (McRib) sandwiches. My favorites include the fries - not to be beaten by anybody, cheese burgers, double cheeseburgers, McNuggets, Big Mac, McChicken (NOT the spicy one) and of course the Fillet 0'Fish. My mouth is watering just thinking about all this deliciousness.

In high school my bff and I ate at McDonald every single day. I am not exaggerating or trying to over-dramatize the situation. We literally ate there every day. Two cheeseburger meal super-sized with coke. My daily ritual. I still think I am going wake up one day and be 300 lbs.

Most recently I indulged myself in the McDonald's twice in one day. A feat that does not occur that much, but often enough to think of how disgusting I am. I was in the Denver airport, landed at gate 91 in the United terminal. Usually I then have to hike to like gate 2 to catch my next flight (right by McDonald's mmmmmmmmm). Not this time. My next flight was to leave from gate 87. This was definitely a first. I checked my watch and decided I had enough time to hike my ass over to the food court (a mere 80 or so gates) to indulge myself in an Egg McMuffin and hash brown (I leave this unplural because it is literally one big hash brown). Sorry I can barely control myself right now. Then when I landed in Albuquerque I had to do another McDonald's stop to fill my dinner hunger. A great day. And no, when I go to bed my sheets don't reek of french fries.

The only thing worse that eating McDonald's twice in one day would then be when I can't decide what to order. This is when I order a McChicken, Cheeseburger, and a Filet o'Fish, and then proceed to order two drinks so the drive-through attendant won't think all the food is for me. Sad days.

I have few friends in my life that share my same love - and moments with those friends at McDonald's are true treasured experiences. My bff Kristen of course shares my love, as does my aunt, and my college roommate Margriet. There is nothing better than sharing McDonald's with those you love.

I apologize to anyone who vomited during the reading of this post. I do not apologize for those who instantly drove to McDonald's to order something McDelicious.

I read that in Malaysia McDonald's have McDelieveries. Sounds amazing. Looking into moving to Malaysia. http://www.mcdonalds.com.my/mcdelivery/how2order.asp



All I can say is two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun (try saying that as fast as you can - fun times).

Yeah, Philippines had McDo (that's what they called it) delivery. Fortunately for me and my weight, we lived far enough from the major city to not be in the McDo delivery area. Every time we went to the city though, it was *2 (yeah, stored in my cell's memory) for a Quarter pound piece of America.

The last time I ate fast food I got really sick. If you stop eating it for half a year or so and then try it again, your body rejects it.
