I wouldn’t characterize myself as a health-food nut by any stretch of the imagination. Nor might one say I am a “junk food” junkie. I am a realatively healthy person, not overweight, and I eat my vegetables.  
But yesterday, it appears as though the spirit of Shelly Winters overtook me.

Coffee accompanied with Burger King Sausage Croisandwich in the morning.  
Lunch at Carl’s Jr. - Sourdough Ranch Bacon Double Cheesburger and a large Squirt.  
Afternoon snack of left over pepperoni/sausage pizza (cold, of course), followed by half a pint of Haagen-Daz Dolche-de-Leche ice cream (which was meant to be a suprise for my wife, but which I could not resist.  
Dinner - Chicken Caeser Wrap drowning in rich creamy dressing, with half a can of Pringle’s Cheesits, and a half a liter of coke.  
We had to rent a crane to lift me into bed.  
I have such a food hangover today.

I need a gluttony exorcism - stop me before I eat again.

Do I move this to MPSIMS, or take him literally? Hmmmm…  
Let’s take Jack literally! Let’s state our opinion on what the hell he was thinking when Jack went Batty concerning his diet. 🙂
