My Kids Are Making Me Fat

The title says it all.

Every time my kids eat one of these:



I eat one of these:


Hello lover.

No matter how hard I try to deny myself at the McDonald's drive thru I ultimately succumb to temptation. See, I used to be a lot stronger…or more selfish, well, you decide.

Back when my will was more my own, I used to order that Happy Meal and deny myself. That was until I'd pull out of the drive thru and inhale ¾ of the small fries, leaving only ¼ left for my child. Yes, I did that...more than twice. Enough with the interrogation already! Fine, I did it all the time. The worst part was that my son actually thought that only a few fries came in that nifty little pouch because I was so covert in my thievery. So I'd steal the fries, be mad at myself for eating them and then feel guilty for having stolen them. This was just too much emotional drama for a fast food run so I broke down and made the conscious decision to just start ordering for myself because, hey, I deserve more than ¾ of a small fries order. And oh yeah, because stealing is wrong.


Come to mama.

I have grown (and grown) into the fine Mommy Friend you see before you today; full of class and style, not to mention a sophisticated palette.



And because I know fast food isn't good for me, I always order a Diet Coke just to balance things out.
