After a long “Supersize Me” and general health awareness-induced departure from eating MacDonald’s food, I ate a big mac about 2 months ago for the first time in years. It was amazing.
I purposely avoided fries as a pre-emptive measure toward reducing the inevitable gut ache. It came anyway, but was not as severe as the full blown gut ache that results from the burger, fries, and drink.
Now I can’t stop. I just ate another Big Mac. I always feel like I’m going to die after I eat them, but they’re just too tasty to resist. It feels like somebody just punched me in the stomach.

Why would you continue to consume something you know causes you intense discomfort? You’ve eaten it. You now know what it tastes like. Next time you crave one, think about the taste and texture, and eat something your innards can tolerate.
A few months back I was driving somewhere on business really early in the morning and hadn’t had time to get anything so I stopped at McDonald’s and ordered a d bacon and egg McMuffin and a hash brown. It was delicious. For the rest of the morning I felt as if I had swallowed an anvil.

Where’d you get that green pepper welfare burger?

I agree with the OP. I occassionally fall victim to the siren song of McDonald’s. My fix is their $1 double “cheeseburger”. I don’t always have time to go home and eat a proper meal with my wife and kids before night classes, and those dbl “cheeseburgers” are really tasty. There’s something indescribably satisfying about chowing down on McD’s.
I ate a cheesy beef sammich every day for a month after I got married. I don’t think I’ve had one since. I’m a little afraid I’ll spiral down into that addiction again.
