McDonald's french fries = the devil

French fries in general are a killer:target:. If I want them I really have to eat them by themselves and it is normally 4 to 6 fries. I dare not drink anything or try to eat anything before I eat the fries.

I spend more time running my kids from here to there than I'd like to admit, so fast food is a given for me. I will only go to Wendy's, Chik-Fil-A, and Arby's though. I have found that chicken nuggets at these places go down just fine (at least 2 or 3 with excessive chewing, anyways), all have diet lemonade, and offer fruit, baked potatoes, yogurt, and/or salads. When I'm feeling kinda yucky, I get a junior frosty or shake, and sip on it instead - lots of calories, but the milk is better (protein/vitamins) than not having anything!!

Fries are SOOOO a thing of the past for me!!! I have to admit that I continue to steal one from the bag from time to time, which ruins my chances of eating anything else for the meal (that pain totally ruins my appetite!!!)

I can not eat one bite of any kind of french fry! (Thank goodness) That is the control I need.

When I was first banded without proper restriction I could eat mashed potatoes or baked potatoes... NO MORE! Another great thing for me!

Thanks for the tips. I have found Chik-Fil-A's nuggest go down well and their kids meal isn't too expensive. Abry's chicken has a lot of breading so I've been scared to try it... I've also had a frosty and it went down great but I'm trying to avoid it since it's so much suger. I sometimes get just a choc. milk instead.

I'm still scared of salads but I think I'm ready to try them.

I get the fruit parfait at Mcdonalds....though I was just told yesterday by the nutritionist that it has too much sugar and I shouldn't eat it if its not ff and sugar free. Its 120 calories, without the granola, and 160 calories with. I think it has like 8 or 9 grams of Protein. I have kids and while I avoid fast food as much as possible its just not able to avoid it totally. I will probally continue to eat the fruit parfait as I feel its the healthiet choice for me there.

I can't eat french fries there either anymore, and I'm very grateful for that.
