What??
Don't shake your head, Judgey McJudgeface.
Lent ended yesterday and took with it all the hurt and pain and awfulness that it brought: I can eat fast food again (I wrote about Lent here, in case you missed it and needed just a little bit more of my sad little life). Oh my stars, how I've missed fast food (sad, really). Sometimes, I missed it because cheeseburgers are amazing, life changing items. Sometimes, I missed it because of the convenience. Sometimes, I just missed it.
Don't judge me.
Tonight was FastFood-A-Palooza. A welcome back to my natural habitat. A blessed sampler. FastFood-A-Palooza took a surprising (and sad) amount of planning and coordination. I'm reasonably sure our wedding was easier to pull off. Chuck and I needed seperate cars, routes, plans, and our A-Games to accumulate my bounty. I also ate nothing but yogurt today in preperation.
It was a bounty.
In your face 46 days of self-denial (which, for the record, I actually did it. No slip ups. No accidents. Sounds like I was potty training? Pretty close, actually).
I undid all the good that may have come from it in one fell swoop.
The menu was taken into careful consideration.
I've spent 45 days crafting it.
It rocked.
I rocked it.
I lined up my little army of calories and reintroduced myself to each of them with a song, a poem, and a hearty embrace. A few bites of each, down the line and then back again. Chuck played papa,paparazzi.






So much.
It was a painful Lent.
I'm gonna need elastic pants, a glass of water, and an EKG. Stat.
As for my take away, well. I did learn a few things. I learned I don't need fast food and it doesn't need to be one of my basic food groups. I can survive without it. I can live. It was nice to not be a slave to it. Limiting my love might be a good thing. Might.
About this. Shelley couldn't be here tonight with me so I had to pour one out for my home girl. I promised her I would.

ReplyDeletePropaganda!
ReplyDelete**** it Jamie. I thought for a real second Jerilyn McIntyre commented on Susie's blog. So rude.
ReplyDeleteCan you please post about what more than likely hit you, or shall I say, left you, 30-45 minutes after your fast-food-athon.
ReplyDeleteYou are SO that skinny girl that can eat anything. I hate you.
