Title: mcdonalds
Post by: Richie London on 08 September 2011, 14:07:56
whilst in ealing earlier shopping i noticed this young girl about 19-23 ordering some food. didnt think much of it till i sat down opposite her to then notice she had 2 big macs, 2 chips and a large chocolate milkshake. i felt like calling her a greedy fat tinker, is there any need to pig out on such a large amount of junk. admittedly i have eaten 3 big macs before when hungry but i dont put weight on as easy as she has.

Problem is, anything MuckDonalds sell leaves you hungry again in an hour, despite having eaten your way through a whole day's calories.

Then again, 2 meals at what? £5 a go.. Could have got a steak and chips for that.. or a curry.. chinese. Something with some flavour, at any rate. ;D

i'm not having a go at large people but what she had was totally unacceptable for a young girl to be eating in my opinion. she should be looking after herself a bit more not putting on a bit more.  she'll pay for it later on in life if she carrys on like that

It's (usually) a lack of self control.. I, for example, have none  :-/

I know what I should eat, and how much of it, and when.. yet somehow that's never what I do eat..

Granted I've occasionally managed to eat healthily, lose weight etc, just never on a permanent basis.

Could always get my stomach stapled, I suppose.. I have given that some serious consideration recently.

I drive past a McD's and a BK twice a day. I am amazed how empty BK is and how thin the patrons of McD's are. I do have varying travel times especially in the evenings. I am not exactly thin and don't visit these places. Perhaps I should to get thin  ;D ;D

Tell her that you refuse to have sex with her unless she eats a more healthy diet. That should do the trick Richie..... ::) ::) ;)

I can't understand why anyone would want to eat one McDonald's meal, never mind two!  :-? :-? I can't say that I've never eaten anything from them, but I bet I could count the number of times I've eaten there on the fingers of one hand ......... kiddies Birthday parties excepted  ;)

If it makes anyone feel any better, I knew a guy at university who couldn't cook, and would buy big macs a dozen at a time, take them home and chuck them in the freezer. They would then be microwaved (burger, bap, salad and all) when he felt peckish - breakfast, dinner, tea, after the pub, etc. :o

You would have thought he'd look like a burger after that lot, but his dermatological condition was more suggestive of Pizza Hut. ;D

I was at a meeting oop north today and had to get back quickly so naturally I had to get a quick lunch.  I pulled into KFC and asked the girl behind the counter for a 3 piece variety meal.  She rang in a 2 piece meal and I didn't notice till I sat down.  I took the hint  ;D

That is very true about being hungry again pretty soon after.

Listening to the radio the other morning.....apparently a Dominos large pizza has summat like 2400 calories in it.....more than the recommended daily intake for a man  :o and equivalent of about 5 big Macs  :o

I wouldnt eat 5 big Macs but i could eat a Dominos large pizza   :-/

Much like a Chinese takeaway! You feel absolutely stuffed for 30 minutes, pleasantly full for another hour.. then it's like you haven't eaten for a fortnight  ;D

Given a choice between branded burger fast food places, KFC for me. Wicked Meal to be precise.

I have to avoid the bargain buckets, as something in the Colonel's secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices gives be the 10 bob bits within about 30mins


Donalds, though, is convenient for driving...  ...half a dozen of their 99p burgers can be scoffed easily at the wheel in the passenger seat, and is filling. Apparently.

I discovered that having irregular or less sleep causes you to loose weight.. regardless of what you eat..

also fruit juices and sweets definitely dont help.. :(

and tonight I drink 1 litre orange juice only when eating ;D

Post by: TheBoy on 08 September 2011, 20:04:01
When I did a real job, my working day used to revolve around the following intakes:

Breakie: Matoza's bakery in Aylesbury, as soon as I left the exchange, for pastie and a slice/

Elevensies:  Pack of 14 orange flavoured Jacobs Clubs

Din-dins: Depended on location, either fish and chips, or local bakeries Ior occasionally customer's roast dinners ::) - except Friday, always Friday Gourmet Lunch

Mid afternoon would present a sausage roll opportunity, maybe a slice as well.

Arrive home, and get takeaway (pre Mrs TB) or eat waht Mrs TB cooked.

9.5 stone consistently.



Sadly, I gave up proper work, but it took about 3-4 months to change my eating habits. 14.5 stone.  :-[

We live an country that is proven to be well on the way to becoming rapidly morbidly obese. They do go on about the miracle 'cure' of the stomach band or stapling but in reality the most effective method (area) to be stapled should be the lips with enough space left for a thick straw.
Fact is that a very tiny, tiny number do actually have a real glandular problem. The remainder must surely then be afflicted with nothing more than simple greed.
Fast food, comfort food are but feeble and lame excuses when the blame lies directly on the individual who is overweight by more than a little. It is easy to adopt a sensible healthy diet and that has been proven time a again to be no more expensive than the fast, comfort food route. That being true it leaves only laziness as the most probable cause for the obese outbreak that will inevitably lead to greatly reduced lifespans of those who indulge themselves.
You can take a horse to water.....blah blah blah...SAD

For some it is, for some it isn't.. We're all different, and none of us are without any demons.  ;)

Just like smoking, drink, drugs, wars, not obeying speed limits( ::)), etc...

None of them do us any good. The answer is simply to stop, of course. Easily said. Problems of the world solved in one sentence. :y

That is very true - there are some things I have no problems avoiding; I've tried smoking a couple of times, never really felt the addiction there. I can take or leave alcohol and quite happily have a night out without touching a drop and still have fun. Drugs, not that I've ever tried any you understand, but ditto to that - no desire to keep doing that. But food? If I could be the same about that as I am about every other addictive substance I'd be laughing!

And let's not talk about speed limits  :-[ ;D

It is quite amazing when you see the volume & speed of the filling/canning and packing of Tomato soup. Canning is at around 800 cans per min and the wrapping area wraps packs of 24 can at around 50 per min and runs more or less constantly throughout the year.  ;) ;)

mcdonalds is the best fast food. end of. i find kfc disgusting. buckets are just breaded slime and i dont like burger kings chips.

mcdonalds looks like its been kicked around (probably has) but tastes the best.

i generally have 2 big macs and a cheese burger and im done. no fries generally.

as for the health comment you're right it will catch up with her. but i'm willing to bet none of us are saints and at the end of the day we've all got to die of something..... why not death by big mac!!!  :D ;D ;D
