You know you have shopped too much fast food when ...

... my daughter told our friends that they were building a new McDonalds "so that Daddy could work there."

(subsequent visit with friends to explain that I will not actually be flipping burgers)

More About Fast Food

For me it was-

....not even my stretchy pants fit any more

"What! Burgers and curly fries, Again?"...

Shopping Bama and parts of Georgia.
I'm still learning 24/7.

When I had to buy a bigger car.

You know all the prices including tax, you take great Hedgehog shots without blinking an eye and you know exactly where the restroom is...

A fast food company commercial comes on, and all you can think about is shopping it.

....you buy new clothes for your vacation a few months before and they no longer fit and you're screwed because you waited until last moment to try them on to match outfits.

A real story two weeks ago!

My freezer is full of partially eaten hamburgers.

... you realize the meat in the hamburger doesn't taste like any beef you've ever had ...

Your 2 year olds says, "Mama, I want a burger and fries."

Your nose has become desensitized to the smell of rancid oil.

everyone at the location knows you by name.

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.

- you find your self "shopping" when you are just getting a bite to eat. I went to Hardee's today, noted they did not ask if I wanted a combo.

When the fast food sign listed on the interstate exits translates in your mind automatically to "Market Force, Confero, RBG, Strategic Reflections, Market Force..."

Oh! When you can tell the difference between the food at one location vs. another.
My good friend eats at places like Chili's and 5 Guys ALL the time (not shopping) and swears he can tell the minor differences between every one of their locations that he's been to. He has locations that are his favorites and ones that he would never go back to.

Seriously, nobody cares that you're offended.

I was spending time in the Nashville, Tennessee area at the end of January. I had three days until the deadline, so I crammed in 3 fast food shops at the same chain. I wasn't able to do another shop for them until 2 months later. The thought of eating there was nauseating. And I like their food.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

When you develop a raging case of Gout!

Ouch! Hope you are/ get better!

I am working with my Dr. on it. Taking tests for the best medicine. Avoiding meat like the plague and drinking water by the gallons. I am better at the present but my foot is still sore.

You know all your coworkers orders so you can bring them food.

Robin, yesterday I walked out of a building at the same time as an employee and commented that I take it slow on stairs because I have been diagnosed with arthritis and don't know which knee will give out. He said he has arthritis, too, and also gout. I told him that I had heard recently that gout is curable with seven tart cherries (apparently dried) a day. (I don't know what "tart" has to do with it.) He said he treats it with daily watermelon, just a small portion. I was at the doctor's office today so I told the nurse about that. She said the watermelon would make a person go a lot and that's important. I don't know if there is anything in this that you can use. As to arthritis, my grandmother told me that wearing copper helps. I like copper. I may go back to that--if it doesn't make me too memorable while MS'ing. Also, I have tested allergic to beef. I have found that avoiding my food allergies, when possible, makes me feel loads better and I don't bloat.

Tart cherries are used in treats and supplements to help dogs with arthritis, and it does indeed seem to help them. It's difficult to just get a placebo effect from dogs.

I think the tart part, is just that being tart makes it a certain variety of cherry, which has the pertinent nutrients that do the job.

Kamarkim, you got me laughing. So the kids get rotated just like the shoppers do!?!

When you look pregnant when your not):

Yep. Even give my husband his turn occasionally. He's a little more discriminating - he wasn't impressed with the food on his last turn (It was a soft pretzel.) The kids are always like "This is delicious!"

Of course, they all get pizza......But unless I want to order two extra pizzas, I have to order it for a lunch supplement (Everyone gets one piece, then.) And preheat the oven so it can be warmed back up.

I've been there: when the children argue over whose turn it is for the meal. Or they used to tell me they were sick of pizza, could I get some other food next time.

I once had a route of 5 fast food in one day. I did this for several times. The cooler sure got it's use as did the freezer.
