Fatso nabbed!

I was caught red-handed .... with a McDonald's cup.

A very quick GTCC staffer called me out on the golden arches, iced-coffee concoction sitting mistily in my hot palm. She inquired about my drink of choice, considering my alleged attempts to give up fast food.

I never promised to give up coffee, I told her. I didn't buy a Big Mac or anything. Plus, I am only human, and I am taking this diet thing one day at a time.

Well, as long as you try again tomorrow, she told me.

I was knee deep in excuses by the time I returned to the office to check out the damage on McDonald's website: 130 calories, 5 grams of fat and 21 grams of sugar!

Hopefully next time someone will catch me before I get to the McDonald's register.

Eat an apple before each meal. It honestly helps one lose weight.

Not coffee! I can never give up coffee. If it's good coffee, I can drink it black, so that's better right?. But is McDonald's coffee good coffee?

These days they've got the good stuff - but you pay extra for it.
