Fat man at Burger King....

I recently got a new job and you guessed it......Fast food at the BK. It's not big money but it's more than I have been making the last couple of years. Hey a job is a job right now. The first couple of weeks kind of scared me some. Fast food was a big down fall for me and probably most of us here. Now I am elbow deep in it! I am an asst manager and now get free meals! Man only if I could have figured this before wls(jk). I find my self watching what other people are eating and thinking how this food is going to kill them. We had a guy order a five patty whopper the other day and we could barley get the wrap on it. I figured it some where in the 2000 calorie range! I was scared to total the fat content but it has forced me to look at the way I have been eating as far as the long term health issues. I am glad I have went through what I have before starting work to help me get though this. Some times a hand full of fries looks pretty good but I snap too and go put something good in my mouth instead. I have found that this helps keep the cravings for the bad stuff to a minimum. The employees there make fun of me they call me girlie salad man who drinks water. It's all in good fun. They were all stunned when I brought the photos in and showed them the before pics. I told them all I had wls(rny) and I now eat this way because I don't want to go back to the old me. Yea they still make fun of me but them i make them go scrub the toilets....lol

Hey it opens your eyes..... I would bet he was pushing about 5000 cals. Its funny how you look at food when your forced to pay attention to it.  If he was a big guy he's given up and doesn't care.. If he's a little guy then he probably thinks he's safe and will probably have a heart attack at 40 and wonder WHY??? I dont thing I WOULD EVER have done that personally..

Yea he was average sieze but I sure hope he doesnt eat alot of them. I think I gained some weight just by looking at it.

Derrick

Its really crazy to say but,, he probably make fun of fat people...   

UUMMMMMM!!! BURGER KING CHEESEBURGERS!!!!

**running back out of the locker room before the door hits me in the rear!!**

Hey no cheese burger eatting wemon allowed in the locker room......you know that....bad girl!
You need a spanking?

Sorry....lmao

 Mrs. D.?   you've had WLS too???

  I thought you were a F.A.?   I take it you got into that line after the WLS and weight loss? 

LOL Yes she had wls also and she was heavy when she was hired. It was the good insurance through here job that allowed us both to get the surgery. We were fat trogether now were thinner together.

Derrick

And one of these days i will stop posting in her name....lol

 Before my surgery I would go to Wendy's and order the triple burger they have...only I would get 2 of them and eat them both in one sitting. They have about 1200 calories a piece so I know I was gaining weight at a phenomenal pace. Now I'm doing good to ONLY get 1200 calories in and that's by a miracle and a prayer each day.It's sickening to think of all the food I've abused my body with in the past. 

The other day when I was eatting my salad I looked at the nutrishion info of our food and was just amazed at how bad most of the food was. We used to think in the past well its just a hamburger. A whopper without cheese has somewhere arround 50 grams of fat. I sure am glad I eat better now.  I still eat a hamburger every now and again but not the whole thing.

Thanks lance
