Fast Food Junkie
Ok, I love fast food. I could talk about it all day. I was practically raised on the stuff (probably why I am the weight I am). Anyways, I have been to ALL of the fast food restaurants in the area and I get a lot of strange looks. In my crazy little mind, I think that everyone is thinking "why is this fat little girl being so difficult? Like not eating the bun is really going to make a difference!" (I get these looks all the time and I know this is what they are thinking!!!
Now, in my opinion, if I was a skinny little girl, then they would be saying "wow, she gets to eat meat and cheese and she looks like that! What's her secret?"
Anyways, I guess it's just something we all have to deal with.
Some restaurants have been very nice to me and have helped me with low-carbing.
For example, at Taco Bell I used to get a chicken soft taco supreme (chicken, lettuce, sour cream, cheese, and tomatoes wrapped in a flour tortilla to those *poor, poor* people in the world who don't have a Taco Bell in their town) and it cost around $1.60. Well, one day I asked for no tortilla and the lady said ok, I'll charge you for separate side items. NOW, I get a side of chicken (actually more chicken than what comes on the taco), a side of lettuce, and a side of sour cream, which totals to about $1.05! I either take it home and put some salsa ranch dressing on it or just mix it all together and eat it as-is.
At Wendy's I ask for a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger with no bun and they put it in a baked potato container for me and it only costs $0.99!! I stay away from McDonald's and Burger King because the people there just don't understand what "no bun" means--not yet anyways!!
I will probably never be able to give up fast food, but it is nice to know that I can have my cake and eat it too (figuratively speaking) AND that some people in this world understand my WOE.
