If you have ever seriously gone through a health and fitness transformation, you tend to miss certain foods. Every now and then you crave a burger or fried chicken or anything else that was an everyday food. So we had been talking about McDonald's Big Mac meal and how long it has been since we had one. I actually could not remember the last time I consumed a Big Mac. My visits to McDonalds have always been a side salad with a grilled snack wrap.
Tonight, after doing some errands, we searched for something to eat. Couldn't find anything that we wanted and ended up at McDonalds. Ok, here was my chance to have a Big Mac meal, and I did. It went down so easy, but it really was not as good as I remembered it to be. The fries were salty and oily, the burger was for the most part bland, and the only real flavor came from the "secret sauce."
Interesting experience to say the least. That burger that I used to crave no longer measures up to my level of satisfaction. ODD! Considering I am eating a lot healthier, you would think I would have LOVED the taste. Am I mentally associating my food intake with overall substance? Have I really found satisfaction through consumption of healthier alternatives? I often boost about finding healthy foods that you love!
Well, either way, I'm glad I made the decision to eat it. I probably eat another one in the future (distant future), but my curiosity has been quenched and I have realized that I can find the same satisfaction of off a healthier alternative. Isn't that a shocker!
