I am sitting in Mc Donalds. No, I am Not eating their food, though I may in a few minutes(who can resist the scent, the fabulous aroma of the deep fried not a bit of nutritional value sliced potatoes? Not I! Not today). I brought my kids here(well not mine, but I like them just the same). They are busy on the indoor playground as I sit here and type. I am SO excited. We all get to do that which we love most! Me- blog, email, surf the web(okay not what I love the most but it is pretty entertaining); and the kids, my kids : ), Sofia and Brendan get to run, play, yell, scream and interact with other humans relative to their size.
Okay so back to the grease drenched fries! Can anyone out there resist the temptation? I swear Jacob ruined me. Or as Joel likes to say, improved my sense of taste! Formerly I would eat fast food, once in awhile. But, when I did it was the One, the Only true hamburger joint- In-N-Out! All you Cali friends know what I am talking about. There is no burger like an In-N-Out burger!!!! When I get to cali in a few weeks I will gorge on one. In college I would eat TWO DOUBLE CHEESE burgers on Sunday afternoon. (Don't be ashamed Jennifer Thomas, I was only a freshman, I had yet to declare a major so I hadn't yet known what I do now(not that it would have stopped me.)) Alright back to how my Sweet Boy ruined me. There was no In-N-Out here in Texas, so I was quite selective of what and especially where I ate. Then it happened. Yes it- a craving. And there was Mc Donalds.
I saw temptation and I partook, and now what. I am no longer feeding my body and that of a growing baby but yet this temptation remains!! What am I to do. That which I know- run in the morning so when I sit in McDonalds later in the day and smell the fried, greasy, salty and oh so bad fries, I will remember the pain and agony that I forced myself to endure only hours before. The agony that I had to endure because I used the excuse of growing a baby to permit myself to be a glutton. And then to make it worse, I stopped caring about myself and consumed so many bad things using my bad lot in life as my next excuse.
It is anyone's guess what my next excuse will be. Any bets?
Bad things, bad food(is there such a thing?). Yes. To make it worse- I asked my Wonderful mother to teach me how to make her famous Chocolate pudding pie. Shame on me. I should of had her teach me (AGAIN!) how to make her Whole grain, completely all natural, and organic wheat bread. But, alas I did not. I chose to teach myself how to make the only chocolate pudding pie that I will eat. I am so picky I will only eat hers and now I know how to make it. Worst part is that I usually have all the ingredients on hand to do just that- Am I bad or what?
Chocolate pie, McDonalds french fries, I am so in trouble. Why did I open the gates to these two enemies? I know better. I guess the temptation was just too strong. Or maybe I was too weak. All I know is that I am paying the price.
Shall I give in to the tempting scent or...

I am not judging you, but I hope you resisted the fries! It too am struggling with healthy choices in my new "lot in life." No more excuses from either one of us! I healthy body is a happy body and we will feel better if we don't use bad things as a bandaid. Here's to good choices and feeling better!
Sorry for the motivational speech, I am more talking to myself!
Thanks! I need it!
Yes, I resisted...yesterday!
Ah, yes, you can't beat In-N-Out. Jon suggested I bring you a hamburger but we figured it would probably be nearly a day old by the time you got it. Congrats on the running! I bet it helps you feel better :).
A day old In-N-Out Burger is better than McDonald's. Not that I want to risk food poisoning.
Good for you for resisting! I am not sure that I would have. I tend to fall into pressure of eating bad food. It is just soooo good!
oooh, chocolate pudding pie..... yummmm....
