The Therapist Take Her Own Advice: The McDonalds Mishap

I’m still working The Plan, and I’ve lost a total of 8.5 lbs.  I couldn’t be happier.  Yesterday was a pivotal in my pursuit of health, wellness and a smaller butt.  I took my son to McDonald’s.

Now you can argue that it’s hypocritical of me to tout healthy living while feeding my son fast food, but it’s about balance.  He eats his fruits and veggies, and he understands that McD’s is a sometimes treat.  Besides the poor guy got a shot at the doctor.  He deserved a little reward.

As we pulled up, my son saw that there was a play area, and he begged to go in to play for a little bit.  That’s where I had to draw the line.  I could go through the drive-thru, but I could not go in and smell the French fries while he played.  I’m simply not strong enough…yet.  So I had to explain why we couldn’t go in, and promise to return in the future to let him play.

When we returned home my son walked inside and threw-up all over the rug…The moral of the story, if you’re going to take a boy to eat fast-food after having a shot, let him play in the play area so if he throws-up it happens there.
