Is your food “good”?

I almost said it tonight.
We bought my son a once-in-a-blue-moon Happy Meal (Subway subs for my husband and me) and I was craving some salty french fries. So I got a small order for myself (hubby is an ultra-healthy eater — peanut butter is pretty much the extent of his indulgence.)
When we got home, I poured a few fries onto my plate, and just as I did, I started to say to my child, “Mommy’s being bad,” infering that eating some fatty fast food made me any less of a human being. Thank goodness I stopped myself before the words slipped past my lips.
I was horrified.
As much as I preach about not making “loaded” comments around kids regarding food and eating, I came darn close to doing so.
Since when did it become “bad” to enjoy a little food that you wouldn’t normally eat? Why do I feel like I’m a less-than-worthy person when I indulge in some cheesecake, potato chips or McDonald’s fries?
Geesh.
I need to re-read some of my earlier posts.
