Too Critical? McDonalds?

The idea is to "be healthy" by eating healthy. Skipping meals only means that she is probably intaking most of the calories at that one meal at McD's. Mc D's once in a while if OK if you take care not to overdo the rest of the day/week. It'll catch up one of these days. Don't let her sway you - keep doing what you are - for a HEALTHIER you!

I have a friend like that too. McDonald's for breakfast, Arby's for lunch, etc. Keep up your healthy eating and don't worry about those who can lose weight eating fast food. Just because their weight is going down doesn't mean that they are getting healthier, and really, isn't that the ultimate goal? Ever watch Supersize Me? That stuff is horrible for you. You don't have to be overweight to have a heart attack.

But in answer to your question, no I didn't drop her. In fact what I did was open up my diary so my friends could see it and hope she would look and get inspired without me saying a word. Don't know if she has, but hey, it was worth a shot.

In South Africa you can order Mc D's burger with a side of corn of the cob, they give you butter to go with it but you don't have to put it on the corn. Last Saturday my day went horribly wrong because of family commitments and I really didn't have time to cook, I was exhaustred and the kids were hungry. Mu hubby got some Mc D. It was either eat that or go to bed without any food. I think balance is the key.

I would. It may be better for them in the long run. Personally, I wouldn't want supposed friends who would drop me because they don't like the way I eat or exercise or whatever.

I never look at people's diaries even if they leave them open. I personally feel it's none of my business what they decided to eat. Whatever they do, I still praise them for comming on here and logging in and trying daily..

Uh oh, I would be in deeeep trouble. For a snack or a lunch, I eat a small hamburger/jr. hamburger (no cheese) from McDonald's, Checkers, Wendy's, Burger King or a Taco from Taco Bell all of the time. I can't quote the nutritional information, but it fits in very well when doing errands and hitting the four hour mark and hungry. When my food logs are reviewed by my nutritionist, she doesn't give me a hard time because I eat plenty of other proteins that are lean, usually stay under my carbs and sugars and take my vitamins.

My husband and I sometimes even split a small french fry once in a while. AND (GASP!) I will defy my doctor's "no liquid calores" rule once a month or so and get a small milkshake. When in Virginia, I go WHOLE HOG and get a banana pudding milkshake at Chik Fil A which must be 50,000 calories, 156,000 carbs and 2,456,489 grams of sugar!

I understand how hard it is to see someone defy the rules and still lose while you are towing the line, but you have to decide if you are just too tempted to avoid looking at his food log (I might have that problem...I'm nosey) and when you look, if it hurts your own motivation. It's your decision.

Personally, I have a much worse time (on anything, not just weight loss) when my friends call me over and over and over for YEARS for advice about how to handle the same situation and they NEVER follow my advice and never take responsibility for the fact that they are causing their own problems. So, if that person is complaining or continually asking your advice, I would eventually blow up at them. LOL.

And this is why my journal is private. Not because I go to McD's every day, LOL but I can do without judgment.

Hahaha!!! Same here !!!

what other people eats should not bother you at all .
