I rarely crave meat while I'm pregnant but today I was really craving a big mac with fries from McDonald's. I am a very loyal McDonald's eater. I don't like Burger King, Wendy's or even In N Out (a California burger chain). There's a big nostalgic value with McDonald's with me even though I know their quality is crap. It brings back to my happy and excited times when we would pull in the drive-thru and get a meal from my favorite fast food chain as a kid. 

Anyway, today I had it. I ordered a #1 combo which is a Big Mac, medium fries and a Sprite (not caffeinated). I felt bad afterwards because I had a coworker pointed out that it's bad for the baby, jokingly, but it still made me feel bad. Surprisingly, I don't have an upset stomach or anything and the last time I had McDonald's was about a month ago. 

I feel that no one can beat McDonald's fries in my book. They are just so good and the texture is amazing in my mouth. Whenever I am in a bad mood, I just get my favorite combo at McDonald's and I feel really happy again, even if it's just for half an hour. It is so valuable to me. It's a great way to distract myself from something that has been bothering me earlier in the day. 

Can anyone relate? I promise I do try to eat better but every once in a while, McDonald's isn't bad right?
