To feel disgusted with myself for just doing this

Went to a drive through before, ordered my Dd a happy meal and myself a Big Mac, Mcchicken sandwich, cheeseburger and coke. No idea why, just always wanted to order my favourite things and not do the meal thing. Generally always with Dh and would feel kind a pig in front of him.
I barely ever drink Coke either, literally only when I have a mcds or pizza, which doesn’t sound like it by this thread, but is pretty rare!
Whyyyyy 🙈it wasn’t even that bloody good, not like I imagined it 😫

😂😂 I've been there before and it wasn't as good as it was in my head either. Don't worry OP, you're unlikely to do it again and nobody has to know (apart from us!).

Enjoy it! I usually order a chicken mayo, two double cheeseburgers and a large coke. Everyone deserves the occasional treat, if your husband judges you based on your McDonald's order, he isn't a great husband

Burger king is much nicer 😁

Why not

Honeynutcheerios · 25/11/2022 19:30

I always do this. If you’re going to do McDonald’s you may as well fuck it and do it right - chicken sandwich, triple cheeseburger, snack nuggets or selects, fries 😆

notnowB · 25/11/2022 19:30

I would never do that kind of thing BlushBlushBlushBlushBlush

If you think that it is worth the calories, fine.

Wibbly1008 · 25/11/2022 19:31

Sometimes you have to have a McDonald’s to get it out of your system. You won’t want one for a while now !

Boooooot · 25/11/2022 19:32

I always get a quarter pounder meal, nuggets and whatever cheese thing is on!

YoComoManzanas · 25/11/2022 19:33

Oh wow. I did not realise I could order two or more sandwich things. Always burger and fries and generally only when travelling. Ponders future visits...

CheshireDing · 25/11/2022 19:34

I have done it with takeaway when DC are in bed and DH working late, I ordered pizza, fries, onion rings and mayo. Just for me ! Sometimes I guess our body is telling us something 🤷‍♀️😆

PinkSyCo · 25/11/2022 19:34

How old is your DD?

SerenaTee · 25/11/2022 19:34

Two quarter pounders with cheese for me. Go big or go home!

Did you think they would stop you?!

LindorDoubleChoc · 25/11/2022 19:35

I think feeling disgusted with yourself is pointless. Don't do it. Forget it and move on. People do WAY WAY WAY more disgusting things every day.

OhYouSillySod · 25/11/2022 19:35

I did this last night! I had a big tasty meal (no regrets!), 9 nugs (some regrets) and a McFlurry (big regrets). Solidarity.

UWhatNow · 25/11/2022 19:36

I regularly do this - it’s bliss. The guilt takes something away from it though so just enjoy it and treat yourself!

Brieeeeeeeee · 25/11/2022 19:37

Here for this. Some sort of burger, 6 nuggets, whatever the cheese thing is, a flat white and a McFlurry. Bliss!

ComfortablyDazed · 25/11/2022 19:38

Sounds grim, but good on you for going for it. In the words of Joey Tribbiani, if you’re going to do something wrong….

I do this every so often and put on a film toboot. Nowt to feel embarrassed about!!

Blueuggboots · 25/11/2022 19:39

I had an Indian takeaway last night that was really disappointing,

ItsBritneyBitch45 · 25/11/2022 19:40

It always seems nicer in your head! So annoying haha

There isn't a limit. What a strange thing to think.

Itsabitnotcold · 25/11/2022 19:40

Chicken selects with bbq sauce and a cheeseburger without gherkins or mustard with a diet coke 🔥 chips are a waste of time money and calories

Burger King hamburger is nicer, McDonald’s chips are better. The holy grail is if you can find a BK and a McDonald’s next to each other to mix and match.
