Should I or Shouldn't I?

Tayshaun spilled some Jr Mints in the backseat. After I spied those out, I looked around to see if anyone was watching me. The coast was clear. (Who the hell would be watching? I was in my own garage.) Then just as I was going to put not one, but all five Jr Mints into my mouth, I heard my nagging conscience reminding me that those five Jr Mints could cost me an additional three days of salads. JK...no matter what the circumstances, I'm off this diet on June 30th --- I'm soooooo hungry. But I still couldn't eat those damn candies. My conscience can sometimes put up a good fight though.

Why does every social event center around food? Is there ever a good time of the year to be on a diet? I was telling a friend today that summers are particularly hard because I'm always on the go and need convenience food, there's BBQs practically every weekend, then there's those snow shacks on every corner, and pina-colada slurpees are in almost every 7-Eleven this time of year, blah, blah, blah. Of course, I had all the excuses. His rebuttal was to remind me of all the holidays from October-December that center around food. Have I mentioned that "I don't do well on a diet" in the summer nor in the winter?

So on my way to the costume shop this afternoon, I'm starving as usual so I stop at Burger King's drive up for a salad. Mind you, I'm eating salads with no dressing, no croutons, and worst of all NO CHEESE!!!!! Yes, I've discovered I can go without cheese...but only for one more week. Anyways, I'm eating this bland salad while driving and chewing chewing chewing and thinking to myself, hmmm, this doesn't taste so bad. It's a little plain but the chicken has this flavoring that must be cheeseburger grease from the grill and what are those seasonings I'm tasting?.....Hold UP! What the hell happened to my taste buds? Have I damaged them forever?

Thank goodness the torture is almost over. You can do it Yvette. 12.5 lbs out of the way and counting down.

Have you seen the new banana, chocolate chip milkshakes advertised at Carl Junior's?
