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'm pining for McDonald's now after reading all these posts. Live too far away sadly. I'd sell my left kidney for a Big Tasty just now.

There's more to life than calorie counting. Saddos.

This.

Sometimes I will taste my food, think no I won’t enjoy that and bin it because it’s a waste of calories.
Dh thinks I’m mad.
But I know I can eat something nicer later on.

You bin McDonalds!?

Rowgtfc72 · 25/11/2022 20:13

Not a maccies fan. Don't like the buns, the fries and the burgers have too much meat in.
If I go though I like a cheap chicken sandwich, hot apple pie and large hot choc.
Used to like sausage and egg mcmuffin but they got quite greasy.
Have you seen the Christmas breakfast mcmuffin though? Might try that one.

( pizza or kebab I can put away a family size portion)

Herejustforthisone · 25/11/2022 20:14

I think I’d vom after all that. Probably just form the salt.

Moonatics · 25/11/2022 20:15

It's never ever as good as it feels like it should be.
Saying that I have a big mac (old skool) and 2 cheeseburgers and a hot drink cos milkshake is yuck.
Or better still a double sausage and egg breakfast thing and hash browns.
I never feel,guilty, why would anyone feel guilty unless they eat it every day?

YANBU. I've done this, although my selection of random choices differs from yours. And Maccy Dees is never as good as you think it is going to be...

"Will we play Mumsnet bingo?

-Grim
-Vile
-How can you even call that food?
-My strapping 6ft DH can't even finish a whole burger
-My children would choose a massive salad over a McDonald's."

@PlasticTatMNBingo can I add -My teenager has hollow legs and can eat that twice a day and is still skinny.

@LadyKenya

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

What does this statement even mean?

Is Christmas Dinner worth the calories? Is Thanksgiving? Is a full on Sunday Roast?

Calories are in other food too you know

I've had a dirty McD order (or pizza, etc) and not eaten rest of day

dammitJanet81 · 25/11/2022 20:16

Fill your boots OP, we've all been there Grin

But I just cannot imagine going to McDs and not getting chips Shock

So soggy and salty and delicious.....god I am so in the mood for them now.

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

Are you me? 🤣🤣 literally my order every time

Exactly right. Life’s too short to fret about this.

mummydoris2006 · 25/11/2022 20:19

@Rowgtfc72 my DH and DD like a maccies breakfast but I've never thought they were great. This morning however me and DD tried the new mighty mcmuffin and it was so nice 😋

CressidaV · 25/11/2022 20:19

2 large fillet-o-fish meals, 1 coke, one water. burp

AnnaKorine · 25/11/2022 20:20

I don’t think it’s weird to think this is even a combo. No judgement, I can massively binge eat but it has never occurred to me to get more than a Big Mac meal and a milkshake from MDS. Some strange kind of internal conditioning. Next time I’m going to get a cheeky side cheeseburger!

PurpleButterflyWings · 25/11/2022 20:20

@Itsfridayforgiveyourself

......a Big Mac, Mcchicken sandwich, cheeseburger and coke.

You ate all this to yourself? Shock

LauderSyme · 25/11/2022 20:21

I see I made a well-worn point. MacDonalds' slogan should be "I'm lovin' it but not as much as I hoped". But I guess that doesn't scan well.

BobGalaxy · 25/11/2022 20:21

DS and I did similar after a flight - multiples burgers, fries and the massive box of nuggets. We were so stuffed, we couldn't eat the hot apple pies Blush

ive been ill and the other day i craved a greggs pasty had to drive past fast so i was not tempted, rarely have them but the urge was terrible

Santadecisions · 25/11/2022 20:22

My guilty pleasure is my secret once a week drive-through (plastic) cheese and bacon flatbread. I am a vegetarian. DC1 would be soooo disappointed. Grin

Misread that as after a fight.

Was thinking it was a bit unusual but maybe worth a go the next time hubby and I have a falling out 😂

MissAmbrosia · 25/11/2022 20:24

Not judging but I am awe that anyone could eat all that in one sitting.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/11/2022 20:24

You've scanned on a Maccies. You haven't punched a puppy or kicked a kitten.
