.....As Cake is to Sandy
Monday, November 05, 2007 Edit This 3 Comments »
I have a very unhealthy obsession with cake. (twinkies are my favorite)
When I try to explain the seriousness of my addiction to people I typically say "Crack is to Crackheads as Cake is to Sandy." I can eat cake until I'm sick. I can eat it everyday. I can eat it for breakfast. I can eat the batter..... I LOVE CAKE. So when I went to the grocery store yesterday and the Suzy Q's were calling my name, I mean calling it loud, you can understand my struggle.
I was looking for buns for my veggie hot dogs (which I can eat practically every day as well) and I turned around cause I heard my name. I said Twinkie is that you? The voice said "no its Suzy Q, why don't you come over here, put me in your cart, take me home and love me." Because I have 5 pounds to lose this month, I stood there for a minute contemplating. That soon turned into me thinking why the heck not! It won't hurt me to do it this one time, besides it's the start of the month, I'll have many days to try and work this off.
I walked away to get my eggs sooooo excited that I was going to get a "hit" only to remember once again the promise I made to myself (to lay low on the cake until my birthday in December) After much of a struggle I threw the Suzy Q back on the shelf , walked away as quick as I could and replaced it with some 100 calorie pack sweets with A LOT less fat and calories.
I was so proud of myself! I saved myself from the misery of beating up on myself for eating something that will not help me lose weight. Woo hoo!!!

Good for YOU, Sandy! Chile, I am proud of you!! I know the temptation food can have...you made me laugh out loud when you said, "Twinkie, is that YOU?" Girl, I didn't even know they still MADE those thangs! I can't remember the last time I saw a twinkie! lol...victory is yours, girl. You can DO this!
Love,
Michele
