Cravings

Today was a splurge day for me because 1)I have to have one of those about once a week in order for me to remain sane, and 2)It's a long day what with work and my 3 hour beauty shop appointment(Don't even get me started!) and long days mean I need to eat something more filling than the bird food I normally eat.

Initially, I had toyed with the idea of having a Quarter-pounder with cheese and French fries as my splurge meal but ended up opting for something a little healthier - a 6" tuna sub from Subway, 1 1/2 ounces of Sunchips and a light lemonade.

After my delicious yet somewhat healthy lunch, I immediately started having cravings for dessert. And not any old dessert mind you, but one dessert in particular -- 138 grams of sugar-free vanilla ice cream (Yes, I measure it.) with 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter mixed in and a generous sprinkling of mini-chocolate chips on top. But I didn't have any of those things with me and it would be at least 9pm before I'd be able to satisfy my food desire.

So I did what any self-respecting food addict would do: I rummaged through the snack drawer in my desk looking for something, anything, to satisfy my very specific food craving. I started off with a peanut butter and chocolate Fiber Plus bar, yummy to be sure but not exactly what I was looking for. I then moved on to two miniature Hershey's dark chocolate bars I was saving for a rainy day. Or sunny day. Whatever. I finished it all off with 4 whole wheat pita chips.

Eventually, I decided that instead of wrecking my diet. . .er, lifestyle change, that I would wait until I got home to eat what it is I REALLY wanted. That way, I'll be less inclined to inhale everything around me.
