Yummy burger, slathered with cheddar cheese, grilled onions on a toasted bun with ketchup and a side of sweet potato fries... Paradise. OK - Fuddrucker's itself isn't exactly paradise but MAN was the cheesburger fantastic! I don't think I've had an entire cheeseburger since I had surgery, 13 months ago... But today... I was able to eat one. Mind you, it was the smallest one they have, but I could eat it - including the bun and about 6 sweet potato fries. I was really content at about 2/3 of the burger, but I kept nibbling... not good. Between that and the fact that I could actually get the bun and burger down without PBing is a definite sign that I need a fill!!! All that being said, I am not going to beat myself up. I made a rational choice and completely enjoyed every bite of it, and will be continuing to work it off with running - especially this weekend. And thankfully I have an appointment to see the NP next Wednesday, so hopefully I'll get a small fill! On the good news front, it did have close to 30 grams of protein (and I'm not thinking about the fat)! There is always a half-full side to things! LOL... And now I am TOTALLY FULL... not just half full. No dinner for me! Or if there is, it'll be a protein shake.

Cheeseburger in Paradise...

Seriously? I hate you right now (said with love). I am PMSing and I want meat and cheese and HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO EAT A BURGER WITH THE BUN!!!!!
Now I am tempted to try!
Sounds delish! And congrats on not beating yourself up. You ARE allowed to indulge every now and again!!!!
Mmmmmm---yum!! Fuddruckers is the best!
AWWW that picture drew me right to your blog.. it looks sooo good and then your description just made my mouth drool... Must be so rewarding to know you can have that treat.. and get right back on the plan...
That picture is destroying my satisfaction from this yummy protein shake I'm working on right now! I'm glad you had a treat and moved on.
mmm... I hope you enjoyed it enough for all of us. I guess the best "do I need a fill?" test I've heard of.
Gawd that burger looks da bomb! It wasn't that big though, was it .. (you did say a small one.. ) Jealous that you got one down though..
I had a bite of my sons Hungry Jacks Burger and almost went to heaven. YUM!
Get that fill, girl. Sounds like you DO need it. xxx
Good for you for eating what you wanted, enjoying it and then saying "ok that was a good treat" that is how your band should work! You will run that off in no time.
Not sure if I'm hapy or scared that I could eat a burger with the band. But, then again, you said you hadn't had one in 13 months so you were due.
Yummm! Glad you enjoyed it.
I am definitely in a weird place with my restriction - ever since being unfilled and working back up, I've been trying a lot more willpower than anything... so hopefully next week it'll all work out. And yes - it was a small one - the smallest one they had... but still too much!!!
That certainly looks yummier than the "naked" burger I had last night!
im mad. lol I want a burger with a bun. my band says NO! LOL. good luck with the 8k tomorrow! youll do fantastic! :o)
