So Ive been asked ‘how did I get to my max weight of 21st 2lbs back in 2019?‘ Here’s how…
Over the last few years, a typical ‘non-diet‘ work day for me for would always start with a McDonalds breakfast. I literally have to go past two drive-thru McDonalds on my 15 minute drive to work, so its rude not to swing by – right? But I would rarely just have a Double Sausage, Cheese and Egg McMuffin, a Latte with 2 sugars and a Hash Brown (which is enough for most people). Id always follow it up with a chaser of a Bacon and Cheese Flatbread! According to the calorie calculator on McDonald’s own website, in total that’s just over 1100 calories (57g of fat!) at 7am in the morning 5 days a week!
When I reach the office (usually around 7.15am), I would immediately pull out of my top drawer a large ‘share size’ pack of Maltesers/Minstrels/Galaxy Bar/Whole Nut etc, and EAT THE WHOLE PACK! In my head I can justify eating chocolate as its dessert following my McDonalds’s meal!
That huge ‘breakfast’ if we can call it that, see’s me through to about 2pm when I usually have several meetings or conference calls, and knowing I’ll have little time in between those meetings, I would usually go again to the ‘sweet draw’ in my desk – yes I had one of those, and take the next share bag of whatever is available, and just eat them on the fly as and when I get a chance.
Dinner in the evening is by far the healthiest thing I used to eat all day! It would be pasta, or a stir-fry, or some other typical family dinner, which usually even included a few vegetables too, but the portion size was always way too big! Then of course there’s the huge bowl of cereal (with plenty of sugar sprinkled on top) just before I go to bed about midnight…..where I dream about the McDonalds breakfast I’m having the next morning!
JUST SHOCKING!
