Dear god I just spent $14 at McDonalds - and ate it all.

[CrazyDe1]

I spent over 500 bucks on fast food in one semester alone. That doesn't sound so bad except for the fact that most of it was 29 cent hamburgers, 1.00 junior bacon chee's and 79cent tacos...

You know, I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm just trying to help the economy. This atkins diet has hurt the fast food sector and I'm doing my part to fight unemployment. By eating this meal, i've helped:

1. The beef industry
2. The bread industry
3. The poultry industry
4. Apple growers.
5. CocaCola and all its employees
6. The dair industry
7. Pickle growers
8. Oreo producer and employees (Nabisco?)
10.The paper (napkins + cups) industry.

The simple act of eating this meal has probably kept ~45 people (including the undocumented hispanic workers in the fields) employed for an extra 3 seconds. I'm doing my part to fight unemployment. 😛

Fsck...that's nothing. I just spent $60+ at the bar and I drank it all.

needless to say I'm a little loopy so don't ask me any math questions right now.

<-- finished last final today and went out drinking w/ friends

You know what? Pig out every once in a while. It feels good and reminds you that you're free to do what you want. Counting calories and carbs and fat isn't how man is supposed to live. Besides, why the hell do you want to live to be over 60? What's good in life when you're so old that your joints hurt, you're diagnosed with one of the thousands of diseases or conditions that you want to enjoy your life less by not eating something?

In the words of George Carlin: "Take a fvcking chance."

The goal of counting calories/carbs is to help teach you to moderate food intake. Sure, I pig out every now and then, but there has to be a point to draw a line. Personally, I'd like to take care of my body and see my grandchildren one day, than contribute to a disintegrating health condition and become another statistic.

I'm not against what you're doing, watching what you eat is a great thing. I'm against counting every fvcking calorie or gram of fat. I think it's inaccurate, futile and distressing. I'm for taking care of your body and I wish I could do a better job myself but I think people should give into their craving every now and then to remember the pleasure of eating. I'm definitely not saying to eat at McDonalds everyday but remember the taste of a 99 cent burger and salty fries.

Counting calories/carbs is just the way you start a diet until it gets embedded into your habit to know roughly what each kind of food contains. I've been on Atkins for almost 6 weeks now, during induction I read all the labels and was very careful. Now, I just know roughly what the carb content is in most foods without reading it, and yes pigging out once in a while is good.

I've gone all out on pizza twice in those six weeks, I gained a pound the day after, but I quickly lost it again. I probably would be going nuts if I didn't eat "forbidden" foods once in a while. Now McD's I didn't like before I started Atkins so staying away from that is not a problem 😀
