Before You Eat Out Push The Pause Button

I think a lot of people these days with jobs the way they are, high stress and demanding are more prone than ever to hit the drive thru on there way home. Its always a thought of how easy it is to just go to the drive thru no mess no dishes to do everyone's fed and its one less thing to worry about. Seems jobs have been progressing toward less physical labor and more mental stress for years now. The to do list is ever growing and never ending. Work doesn't stop when you hit the clock like in the old days seems more and more people take work home to finish or are involved actively in some sort of job related task. Then there's the second job which is maintaining the household the bills , groceries. Laundry, house cleaning, lawn mowing, general maintenance and up keep on a house. not to mention the childrens activities that need parental guidance. So the drive thru seems like just a speck on the list of on going things to think about but believe me its one to not be taken lightly. If you look up the calories and fat in the fast food you eat or have eaten you may take a pause next time before you order that 550 calorie Big Mac or just say what the heck and swing by burger king for a 770 calorie whopper w/cheese many of those and you will be a whopper. They all have some kind of healthy choice meal to be had now or at least an attempt at healthy you just have to look at the fat and calories to know what to order. Many times I have went through the drive through and ordered a whopper not giving it a thought till I looked it up one day. Strange how as you get older the more storage area you have. Things seem to hang on longer than what they did back when I was 20 something and eating whatever whenever.
