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 😫

It's horribly compulsive.

Dd1 had a sleepover buddy last night. They wanted Maccies & fine dd1 has deserved a treat.

I shelved my plans to cook & said just add me a filet o fish to the order, because I don't usually eat meat (& if I do, it's cooked at home.)

No filet at local drive through, so I said 'fine, just get me a big mac'.

Well, it was horrible. Slimy sauce, soggy lettuce & grotty burgers. I still stuffed my face with it & could honestly go again.

They must be dusting the pickles with crack. I can't think how else they're in business.

My big mac was lukewarm & appeared to have been sat on in transit. It really wasn't nice or a treat. But there's obviously something that makes them addictive.

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

That is a disgraceful order. Fillet o fish. I’m shocked. My MIL ordered this once on her on her one and only visit to McDonald’s and we laughed at her (with her). She likes bountys too. Luckily she’s an incredible lady with other redeeming attributes.

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

FFS. Scranned not scanned.

It's all very well sneering MN bingo but the OP just ate three adult meals😲.

I live in France and they don’t do milkshake, jolly annoys me.
I have to have a glut when I’m in the uk.
My dsil bought me a milkshake on the way home from his work, dd has done well there.

No sympathy from me. You live in France so that means you can have racks of 8 huge rochers Suchards anytime you want. I can eat one rack in one sitting and start again the following day. Milk or dark chocolate, don't mind. But I never do, because unlike you, I don't live in France.😥

Big deal. She's not doing it on a daily basis.

She didn't eat three full meals though did she?

Jesus Christ I am actually calorie counting and I could not get het up about this it is literally one day. Don't feel guilty op!

Omg you don’t like fillet o fish OR bounty’s?!! You’re automatically bad vibes haba, your MIL has excellent taste

ChristmasJumpers · 25/11/2022 20:29

I usually get a triple cheeseburger and a chicken nugget happy meal. Totally obsessed with the camembert cheese dippers though so will add these into the mix while they're on offer 😍

TulipTuesday · 25/11/2022 20:29

Boooooot · 25/11/2022 19:32

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

this is exactly what to do!

My favourite cheese bites are the jalapeño ones

I could do better than that.

whynotwhatknot · 25/11/2022 20:32

i usually get a double cheesburger chips and nuggets for later

i like them cold-ducks waiting for the onslaught

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 25/11/2022 20:32

I find once the urge takes hold you have to then you realise it's not as good as you imagined

CrotchetyQuaver · 25/11/2022 20:32

I love a Maccys but a Big Mac and fries/Diet Coke is enough.
Surely those extra calories aren't going to have been worth it when your clothes don't fit any more?? How can you actually eat that much, don't you feel sick after all that? I'd say we like a decent size portion in our house, but 3 burgers just sounds like binge eating to me??? BTW I come in as overweight/obese on the BMI charts, I'm not a skinny person

Rowgtfc72 · 25/11/2022 20:33

@mummydoris2006 that's good to know. I'll have to try one.

@PinkSyCo Why??? She’s not 6 months old

Just wondering if she’s young enough to keep your dirty secret. 😁

menopausalbloat · 25/11/2022 20:33

Now I want a burger.

She absolutely does, in all matters unrelated to fillet o fish and bountys. We’ve agreed to disagree on this matter. She especially has great taste in sons 😆

baxtersm · 25/11/2022 20:34

Wait, why is nobody commenting on the fact her 6 month old had a Happy meal?? Don't get me wrong my kids get plenty of Mcdonalds etc but a happy meal for a 6 month old? Is that even possible?

Disgraceful? It's an acquired taste, I'll have you know, for the sophisticated palate. Or something. I love Bountys too, why do people despise them? You MIL sounds grrrrrreat! I expect you love Cadbury's chocolate?

IDontWantToBeAPie · 25/11/2022 20:35

I do this whenever I'm hungover lol. Do what you want it won't hurt as an occasional thing

Eating this one time is not going to make your clothes not fit. Hth.

Because that's not what she said.

Grapewrath · 25/11/2022 20:36

I’m starving could now smash 2 large fries and a bbq sauce

IDontWantToBeAPie · 25/11/2022 20:37

Also if you actually feel disgusted it as others said 'guilty' you need to check your relationship with food. There's no reason to feel bad about yourself as a person because you ate fast food...
