Oh No! Whoppers!

On Saturday, I partook in Burger King's "Buy One Whopper, Get One Free" deal.

I ate two of these lovelies -- with cheese. I had a light breakfast and a good workout, working up a healthy appetite for the trip to BK in the afternoon. I was pretty well satiated the rest of the day, and consumed a smidge of calories in the evening.

I had a great time with my family this weekend, sitting down in the Burger King to eat, rather than doing the drive-thru. For thousands of years, food has more than fuel for humans. It's been a ritual. It's a time to connect, and enjoy the bounty that they've been blessed to have. We did that this weekend. Sure, we could have done the same with a salad -- but we didn't. We will eat sensibly and stay active this week.

[/b]This bit of indulgence will not be derailing my fitness goals, and I plan to drop a couple of pounds this week.[/b] Since Saturday, I've been eating sensibly, and working out.

I'll report back here by Saturday with the results.

Cue the "Oh gross!", "Fast food is poison", "This is a fitness site!" and "You're going to drive someone to binge and maybe buy an overpriced car too!" comments.

    I was driving home on Sunday and stopped to get fuel (gas and food) and the travel center had an advertisement for this. I thought of you kid. I am glad someone participated. I so badly wanted some. *sigh*

    OMG UR POISONING URSELF AND UR FAMILY!!! HOW CAN U SUPPORT FAST FOOD COMPANIES THEY ARE EVIL!! :angry:


    No, I totally agree. I love enjoying a meal at McDonald's, seeing my kids excitment when they know they can eat and play at the play area. It's not bad to treat yourself once in a while.

    Nothing wrong with this as long as you don't do it all the time. I have to allow myself the occasional indulgence, too! I don't think I could eat two whoppers at one sitting, though...I'd be sick as a dog!

    They do have the best mayo. Mmm.

    I can't judge, I had a double Whopper Jr yesterday.

    What about fries and a diet coke? You forgot to mention those.

    On Saturday I ate 2 pieces of pepperoni pizza, half an order of cheesy bread, and almost an entire order of cinnastix with frosting. Gained nothing. Was delicious. :bigsmile:

    Atta Boy Ex Gordo.

    I can't remember the last time I had one (the BK by me is just dreadful) but I always get mine with extra cheese. I like to earn every pound I gain.

    I shared this deal with a friend. It was delicious and we had a great time. It was the most "real" food we ate all day since we spent the rest of the day baking and eating the batter.

    One of my co-workers kids worked at a crematorium. He said it smelt like Burger King. I don't eat fast food and probably haven't been to BK in 5 or 6 years.

    Years ago when I was married and very poor and BK had 5 doubles for 5 bucks we ate nothing but these for days maybe even weeks. That's why I can't stand their food... Wendys and Culvers are a weakness of mine. I avoid them at all cost.

    Allowing yourself indulgences is necessary for your mental health, and thus, your overall health! I hope them bad boys were as juicy as hell!!

    I'm glad you went and enjoyed it and aren't beating yourself up about it. I have kinda "let go" of trying to be perfect and weighing myself all day and everyday and counting calories like a mad woman...but ever since I "let go" I have been enjoying food as it should be enjoyed in moderation. I haven't had a Whopper in a long time and have been craving some Burger King myself...maybe I can also indulge and enjoy some soon!

    Agreed -- at least in my case.
    I hope them bad boys were as juicy as hell!!
    They certainly were. Hot and fresh, as they were selling them like hotcakes!

    I'm jealous- but do think the occasional indulgence keeps you on track- the concept of total deprivation from a certain food makes me want it like its a life saving nutrient...

    I also had 2 on Saturday and it was, hmm.. ok. For some reason they just didn't taste as good as I remembered. They weren't horrible but they weren't all that either.

    We did too. The Whopper was delicious but what the hell did they screw with the fries for? They were reallllly yummy before. Now they're just ok.
