2500 Calories in One Sitting

Now I am not a self promoter normally, well okay maybe I am, but who cares. I also use two comma's in one sentence and really I kind of just make my own rules up as I go along in both life and in writing, but anyway. So the other day I went to lunch with my dad and since my son was with us we ended up at McDonalds. Probably not the most healthy place but very very popular. I even hear they have a film dedicated to it and was actually going to watch it(Super Size Me, I think), but Ghostbusters was on another channel and I really wanted to see someone get slimmed. Anyway so we go inside and my dad started ordering the big mac meal. Well appartently it was 99 cent big mac day so he thinking the lady taking our order says that he can get two for the same price decides to order 2, so I figured what the heck I am hungry if he is eating two I can surely eat three of them and of course you have to get fries with that so that is what I order. So they start piling on the big macs and I start to think huh this might not be the best idea after all. I actually get that feeling way too much, but then I tell that little voice to shut up or it won't get anything to eat at all. It does just that cause no one wants to eat nothing, right? Well I did drink a water, I am not some sort of health nut, but I try my best. So we take a seat and I start pounding the burgers. I go through one and then two and then I open up the third and see that my dad hasn't even gotten half way through his first one. I start again thinking maybe I should stop and take the last one home, but being the guy that I am again I tell that conscience to keep quiet and I keep plugging away. So I shove that one down my face and then polish off the fries and I notice I still feel good. My dad turns to me and says, "yeah why don't you go eat the rest of my fries and you should even eat this other big mac cause I am not going to eat it and if you do eat that forth one, with the fries you will have eaten over 2500 calories just at lunch." And that is when I say to myself okay Jacob you can still walk out of here with some dignity or you can roll out of here with a lot more dignity knowing that you ate 2500 calories in one sitting!!! So as an American I do the only thing a true blooded American would do. I eat the rest of the food on the table. I even finished off some food that was left by the last group sitting there. Okay well I didn't do that, but I would have. In that moment I could have eaten 12 big macs I was on top of the world when it came to eating big macs. To put this in perspective I ate basically a loaf of bread and almost 2 pounds of meat, not including all the other junk that is on there that makes it so freaking good. Now I know I am not a professional eater, but in that moment at the golden arches in my heart I was and in my stomach I was as well. Here's to you BIG MAC and here's to you dad for believing in me and my abilities to take a couple of years off my life, but living while I do it. I am proud to be an American. Bless this nation and bless you all. Farewell for now and possibly longer, I might have a heartattack soon. Good Bye!
