The second I lift my McDonald’s large Diet Coke into eye view for the teachers and fellow mothers in the carpool line to see — glares.
Michelle, still sweaty from Hot Pilates, looks at me like I just held poison to my lips.
Mrs. Becky, who has “vegan 🌱” in her Facebook bio, views the Golden Arches as the gateway to hell.
And all I can think to myself is, You’re just lucky it’s DIET!
I cannot seem to keep up with the health trends these days. Apparently, almond milk (which I once thought was the healthy alternative to milk) is filled with “gums and oils,” intermittent fasting is a polarized debate, and what the hell is 75 hard?
If you think I have time to be checking the ingredients at the grocery store for “gums and oils,” you are highly mistaken. If I am fortunate enough to have time to go to the grocery store that day, you bet I am in and out of there in 30 minutes.
And if I have one open hour of time in my day, the last thing I want to do is hop on a treadmill.
