Tainted Love

This journey has been an up and down ride for me.  I have worked hard to give up pop, caffeine, gum and other more disgustalicious things.  There are certain things that I am really looking forward to and certain things that I am glad to get away from.  I don't think of giving these things up as a punishment by any means.   I am on a quest for health, a quest to change my life in ways I can't to on my own, if it means giving up a cheeseburger for an extra 20+ years with my family......fuck ya, I'm going to give it up.  I am not perfect, I have a plan and I hope that with my family's support I can really do this.

You know what's even more disgusting than the Fillet-O-fish from McDonald's, the DOUBLE Fillet-O-Fish!  530 calories, 26 grams of fat, 5 grams of sugar (that's just over a tsp!) and 910 mgs of sodium so gross.  There's a Big Mac, a Double Big Mac and a Mega Mac (the Mega is Europe's double, I had you worried there for a minute didn't I). 

OMG I totally forgot about the Double Down from KFC.  When I heard about if from my husband I though for sure he was making shit up.  He usually will say messed up stuff to make me laugh.  The Double Down calls itself a sandwich and yet it's not for the faint at heart because instead of bread this M-effer has 2 breaded chicken breasts, bacon, 2 types of cheese and special sauce.  It claims to only have 520 calories, 32 grams of fat, and 1380 mgs of sodium, but I think they're lying.

These are a few of the things that I am happy to give up, I haven't tried any of the above items and never planned on it either.  But, regardless leaving a fast food nation behind me for more years with my hubby......priceless.

Some of the things I am looking forward to are the recipes on Michelle"s "Shelly"'s blog http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/ after seeing her blog, I knew I could be a post surgery success.  That McDonald's, Wendy's and junk foods (most of which, make me feel sick after I eat them anyway), are a part of my past.  My family can only do so much for me, there comes the time when you need to hear it from the horses mouth.  Shelly is 4 1/2 years post op and still maintaining her healthy life style, that is the kind of influence I need.  I loved her ideas so much that I ordered a bento lunch box (the black and fuchsia one of course) http://www.laptoplunches.com/ so that once I am home from surgery I can start making beautiful lunches/suppers like hers. 

It's a good thing that one cannot drink alcohol during this process, because after reading this last post you might think I have Fatal Attraction crush on the Egg Face Lady.  I DO tend to get a little handsy when I've had the alcohol, but this thing I have going on for egg face is strictly on blog-fessional basis!
