What did I learn from this whole experience? That once I got over the initial shock of the experiment, it was totally doable. I'm sure that there will be times that I find myself at Mickey D's in the future (we are going on a trip with my family at the end of the month, after all) but as a crutch, I think I have the willpower to withstand it's siren song. However, IT IS a slippery slope, and not unlike your favorite 12-step program, my recovery is one day at a time. On the plus side, I saved nearly $120 from my drive-thru detox.
I have inspired myself however to continue and am also adding to my list. Since I got pregnant with Will, I have found myself buying baked goods like they're going out of style. I swear that I haven't met a (donut, cupcake, pastry) that I didn't like. I secretly think that this may be what's making me fat :) Let me be clear in my definition: I won't be BUYING baked goods, but anyone who wants to make me any of the aforementioned is welcome to. I do have a birthday coming up in May, after all.
If this goes well, I might have to totally throw down and add candy to the list. I know, I know.... I can't believe it myself.
P.S. McDonald's Diet Coke really does taste better than all the other alternatives. Gas station is close, and cans will do, but Mickey D's is the best!

Finally someone else agrees with me! McDonald's Diet coke can't be beat by any other kind. I don't know what it is, but I swear by it
Way to go Bekster! You surprised even ME! I wish I had your stamina and determination...as I'm driving through Mickey D's about 9:00 a.m. on the weekdays for my "fix". Baked goods may be pushing it, but as long as you don't turn them down when I show up on your doorstep, maple bars in hand, I will be there to support you. You should have been a smoker...then you could use all these other things to help you break THAT habit! Just kidding...Keep up the good work.
Way to go on your McDonald's detox! I, for one, am impressed! I do have to say though, that the place that has THE BEST diet coke is disneyworld. McDonalds is second only to that though :) I hope this week goes better for you than last week did!
Good Job Bekah! I have a very hard time passing by a Micky D's for the same reason.....the Diet Coke is the absolute best. I don't think any of them compare.
It must be in our genes with the baked goods because I have never met one I didn't like either...I eat WAY too many of them and honestly can say that I don't think I could ever give them up....
