McDonalds French Fries are legal crack

Day three on TSFL; day one in the real world.
So I figure if I only go to the store and stay home all the time I will have absolutely no problem with temptation. That seems do able right??!!
After having a couple successful days I ventured out with my family. A little trip out and about. I made sure to eat before I went, brought my bars and my water and I was off.
The sun was out, I actually had to wear sunglasses in January in Seattle.
As small detour to get the kids a quick bite.
I'm not hungry so all is good.
I don't even go near the counter to order, Ill leave that to my husband (he is much stronger than me).
So we get our food and sit. As the bag opens and the first "crinkle" of the dbl cheeseburger paper hits my ears I can visually taste that burger. The bun is soft, the ketchup squishes out the sides. The tang of the ketchup and pickles make my lips dry with the thought. The kids open it up and I see cheese melted onto the paper and juicy beef drops little glistening drops of juice.
Looks good, but I ate before I came so I'm still feeling pretty strong.
Then it happened.
That big red box came out of the bag. They are crunchy, shiny, salty and steaming hot. Probably the best damn french fries they have ever served at McDonald's. I watch the first bite go in and the smell hits me like a smack up side the head. I'm actually drooling a little. This is so weird; I really cant believe I'm taking it this hard.
You want to say: "Just eat some and blow the scent into my mouth. I just need a little". One fry wouldn't hurt right?? What if I just got a kids meal, its smaller. We could split something.
Well; it had to be the longest 25min of my life. I drank a lot of water.
BUT I made it !! Not one fry eaten!!! Way to go for me!!!!
