G and I are at McDonalds today for lunch and Playplace time because its rainy, J is gone, and we both needed a little cheap entertainment. I swear this place is trying to fatten me up! Many of you are thinking "duh!" of course eating at McD's makes you fat but I am usually a defender of the fact that eating anything in moderation is OK. I don't agree that its evil or a bad place to eat every now and then. But, my last 2 visits have given me a reason to start questioning my defense of this favorite American chain. Lately when we eat here, G gets a mcnugget happy meal with apple dippers and I get a mcdouble with a fruit and yogurt parfait or a salad. But at our past 2 visits (about a month apart) they have given G fries instead of apples. They always quickly correct the mistake but then I'm left with a small fry staring me in the face. Seriously, it looks at me, taunting, calling out to me, begging to be eaten! Soooooooooooo tempting! I LOVE fries! And, I've been struggling a bit with my pregnancy weight this time around ( I only have 15 lbs left before I match my 1st pregnancy weight and with MMG I gained 2-3 lbs each week the last 3 weeks of the pregnancy) so I need to leave a little wiggle room for going the full 40 weeks. Anyway, I swear it's sabotage!!! Darn you McDonalds! (Forgive me Mickey D's, I'm sure we'll be back before J gets home from his trip. I didn't mean it. I love your salty goodness and golden arches!)
UPDATE:
I did not succumb to the fry temptation!!!

You are a stronger women than me. I would have eaten the fries then worked out harder later. I can't step foot in that place or its bye bye waistline.
OH MY GOSH. Ava loves her some McDonald's fries! We only eat there when Curt's gone, too. Just too easy I think... I agree that everything in moderation is a-ok. I can't walk away from ANYTHING completely, it's just unnatural!!!!
Way to go...fie on fries!
