Can I just say................

If maccas served sausage and egg mcmuffins all day....well, I'd probably end up birthing a giant sausage and egg mcmuffin. They are devine and I really have to make sure I limit myself to one every couple of weeks. A little OT, sorry. But this thread went from making me 'meh', to frustrated, to meh, to hungry :redface:

I've felt like crap after eating too much salad. As a previous post said it's about portion control. If your serving is too large you will feel like a python that swallowed a pony no matter what you ate. If I eat maccas I get a cheese burger and I generally feel fine afterwards. I presume that if I ate 6 of them I would feel dreadful.

On the feeling judged being a positive influence point; I think that depends on who you are. I can see that for some people it might be an incentive to stop but for people who have a more contrary nature it's just an encouragement. Years ago when I worked in a bar I had a preggy customer who usually got juice and had a very occasional champagne. On the day that someone made a nasty comment to her about drinking with her big belly she came straight back for a second. I guess it was her way of saying **** You. I'm kind of like that too. If I smoked and if you judged me I would probably light up another and blow it in your face just to **** you off.

I'm off for a trot on my rather short pony now

I rather agree with this.

In my experience (and keep in mind that I work in the weightloss industry and deal nearly everyday with many different types of people all wanting to loose weights for many different reasons) judgement and critism NEVER encourage anyone to loose weight or eat healthily. It ALWAYS has a negative impact, either on self esteem or directly in relation to their food choices (ie, "You cann't have that cake" usually means the person eats twice as much, or they avoid the cake out of embarrassment and humiliation and go home and scoff a packet of Tim Tams as a way of soothing their emotions). I have yet to see a situation where someone passing judgement on the way they eat or allow their children to eat prove to be helpful, it usually just makes my job just that little bit harder. I spend alot of my time talking to people and teaching them how to continue with their own good intentions DESPITE the horrible judgements and comments they may recieve. There is nothing more despiriting then attempting to better your life, only to be knocked down time and time again. Leading a healthy lifestyle needs to be intrinsically motivated, it needs to be something decided on by the individual to have any real chance of success.

DD's second birthday today. We are all going out for nuggets and chips at the local Tabaret/Hotel in the semi rural town that I live. I must be REALLY bad, as I am potentially exposing my kids to gambling as well!

---

I'm all for under age gambling too :rofl: I buy my kids scratchies. DS won $20 once and I allowed him to buy 2 more with his winnings. You've gotta teach 'em young :thumbsup:

You need to put fries in the cheeseburger though.

You have just reminded me, my dad used to take us to the rsl quite often and he'd let us sneak a dollar or two in the bingo machines. I'm scarred for life.

This is the thing - they feed really bland food to people that age, either from Meals on Wheels or in homes. They don't add salt or much flavour to the foods.

I use to work in a nursing home and their meals weren't bland? They were pretty good actually.

I remember YEARS ago, we would eat at a little country pub.. and 20c got a "bingo" ticket.. it had the words BINGO on the outside, and when you opened up the little perferated edges, and if it said BINGO inside you would win..... we could do that for hours!!!! I was about 10???

My nanna makes her own food. She doesn't add salt or anything to it, it's how she prefers to eat these days. The thing is that as your body gets older you have a hard time breaking stuff down. Rich food and added flavourings can cause tummy upsets, which is why the food might be bland.

Luckily she doesn't like Maccas.

We used to get those too! They were used for fundraising when I was a kid.

Those are the one pb! I remember then so clearly.

From feeding your baby maccas to playing the bingo machines when we were little to blended old people food....how did this happen??!!!
