mickeyd's double cheeseburger...

i remember the day i realized i was raised eating crap...i called my mother from colorado and told her, "mom i eat like shit...'i know", she said...i do too and i taught you..."  my mother had a staple of dinners that were on rotation...my favorite was a toss up between scrambled eggs with hot dogs and hamburger helper...another one of my faves for sleepovers was the block of velveeta melted for nachos...why did i ever stop eating that??? i got into eating healthy  by my unhealthy eating habits...after many attempts at numerous diets over the years, (atkins...bacon and cheese? no problem...fat tree cheese...yummy...diet pills with a red bull chaser anyone???)  i have found that my body is responding best to a cleaner diet...the less processed the better...like fruit for example...i did not eat a piece of fruit for my first year on the atkins diet...i got crack skinny and fit into a size 6 jeans (for like an hour) but still...feeling guilty for eating fruit...that's just not right...now i eat as much fruit as i want and bread and pasta too...as long as it is brown of course...i even gave up the Diet Coke...sometimes i honestly think i may be more proud of quitting diet coke than the butts...i used to always say that of all my vices diet coke would be the one that killed me...that aspartame is some crazy shit and so NOT organic...occassionally i will have a diet coke which i think has also helped me battle my food obsession...moderation...friends of mine will say everything in moderation except moderation...and although i do have days that i live by that they are few and far between...yesterday for example i had birthday cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner and am kicking myself in the ass for being to lazy to drive and get my one true love who has never left me and has ALWAYS made me feel better no matter the situation....a McDonald's double cheeseburger...due to the excessive cake consumption, completely guilt free, i will have to wait until my next relapse for my mickey d's...but not to worry...because i have learned, everything in moderation...except of course moderation when it comes to a mickey d's double cheeseburger...yes...i have eaten 3 in a sitting before and i am damn proud...and as healthy as i have become by eating organic and clean, and however much shit my mom gives me for making her eat whole grain pasta, nothing will ever come between me and my double cheeseburger...but let's be honest here...when we talk about our relation to food we really mean our relation to our  body and i don't think there are enough gigibites in the world for all of the blogging that my mother and i could do on that topic...for now i'll just be happy i have found some moderation...
