Those of us who have children understand the infatuation with the “Golden Arches” and anything that says McDonald's on it! I took my son to breakfast this morning and as we were chatting we started reading the nutrition information sheet and I have to admit I was amazed at some of the numbers!
Since surgery I don’t eat at the fast food restaurants and therefore have gotten out of the habit of checking out the nutrition information plus I think it’s one of those things we sometimes don’t necessarily want to know (out of sight out of mind).
While I was sipping on my ice tea he enjoyed his normal breakfast meal and was smiling with every bite. What surprised me the most was my son’s reaction to the numbers as he was reading the calorie and sugar content on what he would normally get for breakfast/lunch/dinner etc? The look on his face was priceless and I was astounded when he expressed to me that he would no longer be eating his normal orders at McDonald's and he wants to make a healthier choice next time.
Once again having bariatric surgery has made a difference in my life. If it hadn’t been for the education I received from my program and the lifestyle changes I’ve made this morning’s revolution may not have occurred.
I’m thankful everyday for the second chance at life that I have been given and for the small things like today which will make a positive impact on my son’s life.
