I'm Loving It!...well, maybe not the sick feeling and the loss of money...

Hey, everyone.

Remember those days when I wouldn't dare go to a fast food restaurant, let alone eat anything that came from McDonald's? Obviously, those days are long gone as my waist size will prove. However, in the past year, I have gained too much weight...about 60 of the 100 pounds I lost. So, I have been going back to Weight Watchers meetings in a dire attempt to get some help with the problem at hand.

Well, the first two weeks of the program didn't go exactly as planned; once I ate more than I should have, I felt the week was a lost cause and started eating a lot more. Luckily, because I spend tons of hours a week at work (which include staying up extremely late), my weight has maintained. This week, however, I was really determined to stay on top of things. However, it appears that a likely foe and an unlikely foe have formed an evil bond to destroy me...Uncle Pennybags and Ronald McDonald:

In case you don't know what that means, it means that McDonald's is doing their Monopoly piece Collect-and-Win game again. However, this time, they added a new spin. The pieces now come with codes on them that you can input into a website for more chances to win. Also, if you get things like large fries, then you automatically get Best Buy bucks (coupons for $1 or $3 off Best Buy items).

Now, I know what you're thinking: it's still a rip-off. Still, all I had to hear from a cashier was "some girl won a PSP from here yesterday," and that was it. They officially sucked me in. Since Wednesday, I have had four Quarter Pounder meals, and each one has sat like a brick in my stomach.

So, the Weight Watchers probably isn't working this week, you might think. Wrong. So far, I have still managed to lose five pounds this week, and it's because those Quarter Pounder meals were the only damn things I had on the days I ate them. Was I starving at work, then, for a good nine hours? Yes. But, you know, at some point, your body just stops being hungry. I guess it's the bodies way of saying "fine, I'll just take some of your pre-stored fat or kidney."

Still, I can't keep eating like this. Even if I did continue like this, and lost the weight, I'm sure my blood pressure would go through the roof from all the oils and sodium. Plus, I'm sure that the poor eating mixed with the lack of sleep is the reason I'm tired all of the time. So, it is with this that I say that I'm knocking McDonald's out of my life again...at least until I get paid on Wednesday.
