McDonalds...I say NO!

It's that time of the year again...McDonalds Monopoly.  Their clever little ploy to keep you buying french fries, cheeseburgers, and mcnuggets is once again rearing its ugly head.  Well I say to you McDonalds...NO.

For the past some odd years I've gotten sucked back into that fun little game of collecting and almost winning.  And this year they boast 1 out of every 4 people will be a winner!  Hot Dog!  The problem is that I'm usually that 2nd, 3rd, or 4th person that barely misses winning so I have to go back in a day or two (you know so there is a different shift of people that don't recognize I've been there once already that day) and try to be that 1 person that wins.

Sure its tempting...a big screen tv, money, even a mini van (okay maybe not that).  All you have to do is buy a few food items for what, a couple of bucks here and there...and you could be the proud owner of that mini van.  But what do you really gain...a wide waistline, a big butt...and because of all that grease and fat.

Well not this year McDonalds.  You're not going to suck me in.  Since I've been faltering on my diet, I'm sorry, lifestyle change, I think this is the perfect opportunity to get back on track.  For the length of this promotion, I won't go to McDonalds.  I won't even attempt a mocha frappe because of the cheeseburger temptation.  Yes, I think this will be a good way to get back on track (and save some money!!)  Wish me luck!
