NSV - Micky D's

This may be nothing to a lot of people, but It feels pretty important to me! I agreed to take someone McDonald's tonight, including french fries..... And I drove all the way to their place of employment without eating a single fry!!!! :happy:
I know there are tons of people that will say how disgusting McDonald's is and they would never eat there, and that is great for them, but that was not the case for me. There is a reason I became 87 lbs overweight. But when I drove away, still in my workout clothes and full from my salad at dinner, I felt pretty empowered. Like I may have finally crossed that threshold of poor decisions, low self-esteem and little willpower, into a place where I can actually be happier NOT eating fries!
And I felt this way with the lingering smell of fries in my car.

I used to love their fries... especially with the perfect amount of salt. I think the grease on them would make me ill now. But the smell would probably just about kill me. That's a great NSV and WTG for having the willpower to be strong!0

Way to go - that is a great NSV!!0

*****slow clap***** You avoided a trigger for you. That is a job well done.0

I know exactly what you mean about fast food. It may be horrible for you health wise, but it tastes great. It's also the main reason why I gained 90 lbs.
I no longer eat french fries either for the most part - I can never eat just one or a few, so I will usually choose a salad in their place if I'm out in a restaurant.0 -
