As far as the McDonald's/eyeball's thing - that's an urban legend that can be found on Snopes.

I quit eating most fast food because it kinda makes me sick anymore. I do love McDonald's ice cream cones and they are only three points, so I do indulge in those once in awhile.
As far as weight loss, I'm now down a total of 31.1 pounds. I'm pretty excited, I've got a little less than 15 pounds until I reach my goal.
