Confession

I never ever eat fast food and usually don't even like it.  I've never given it to DD (although MIL and my Aunt have a few times, which I got over being upset about a while ago).  But, DH is going out to dinner as part of a departmental open house for prospective new grad students (he's a PhD Candidate) and I'm so tempted to walk down to McDonald's down the street to pick up dinner so I don't have to cook or clean up when it's just me and DD.  I'd do chinese, but the place here only takes cash and I'm out of that.  And a really fattening salty meal sounds really good...

Ethan recently started wanting McD's hamburgers. ?We go once a week--I get a salad and he eats a happy meal. ?No big deal!

Thank goodness, my DD won't eat fast food. So when I'm overwhelmed with temptation for fast food, I make her a sandwich and I eat my greasy meal. Everyone is happy!

honey, you just go get yourself a #5 combo, biggie size if you want to, and buy your lil precious a Happy Meal, b/c you deserve a break today . . . save the guilt for tomorrow.

Ditto this, except I would say go for a #2 combo. With a REGULAR Coke even. That's living on the edge. 

You should go for it and don't feel guilty! It sounds like you're doing a great job with her diet. This won't hurt it at all.

go for it, and don't feel guilty. Everything in moderation.
