So I made it all the way until Saturday before I gave in and ate MacDonalds. What is that....10 days? Argh! Fail!
Oh well, back on the horse...2 days fast-food free and counting!
What made me really want MacDonalds was the fact that I had to go for blood tests. Every time I've had to do something nasty (like chemo or tests) I always would treat myself afterwards with MacDonalds. It gave me something to look forward to. So when I had to go on Saturday, afterwards I really got a craving and so I gave in. I don't think it's bad to reward yourself for stuff, but I do think that MacDonalds maybe isn't the healthiest of rewards. I'm going to have to build a new reward system. Food shouldn't be a reward anyway.
On the plus side, I'm finally on the mend again. I've had a really bad infection for the past couple of months in my back. They think it originated from my epidurals during childbirth (an abscess formed and burst...sorry if that grosses you out!). That's what the blood tests are for. Anyway, it's been pretty painful and tiring and I'm hoping to finally be over it in the next month or so. I'm so sick of antibiotics! Actually I'm just sick of being sick. Hopefully this will be the end of it.
Christmas is coming....can't wait!
