If this were a dream world, a world in which I could eat anything I wanted and however much of it I wanted without gaining a single ounce or suffering from any health issues, I'd consume the following:
- cheesy, crusty macaroni and cheese with a crunchy topping
- corn dogs with ketchup and mustard
- burritos with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese (and of course the meat + lettuce)
- butter pecan cookies with whole milk
- Girl Scout cookies (every kind, but esp. the Samoas, Peanut Butter Patties, + Thin Mints)
- moist chocolate cake with chocolatey frosting
- moist red velvet cake with divine cream cheese frosting
- moist carrot cake with divine cream cheese frosting
- peanut butter + banana sandwich (the way Elvis supposedly liked it)
- stuffed french toast
- everything at the Chinese buffet
- stuffed crust pizza (don't really care about the topping as long as there's tomato sauce and LOTS OF CHEESE)
- Starbucks Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate
- Red Robin burger with endless fries and ketchup
- hot dog with everything
- Coldstone ice cream (any Signature Creations would do)
- hoagie with EVERYTHING including mayo and sweet peppers
- lobster bisque with biscuits
- anything that Paula Deen makes
- cannolis
But it (gotta face it) doesn't work like that. So I will not eat anything. I will wait it out. And I will feel good tomorrow morning. And I will deliberately eat veggies. I will choose to leave out the mayo or cheese when I can do without it. I will choose to drink skim milk. I will choose to have the cappuccino instead of the hot chocolate. I will choose to have the frozen yogurt instead of the indulgent "real" ice cream. I will choose to check out the calories and serving size. I will choose fresh over processed. I'll feel better. I feel better just writing this! Lists are without a doubt therapeutic indeed. I'm still a bit hungry, but I'll be okay. I'll be happy tomorrow morning. I won't be regretting anything.
Hehe. :-) I do this ALL THE TIME. :-) I always call my fiance and tell him everything I'd eat if I could. I think it calms me a little bit, like it almost makes me see how ridiculous binging really is. Either way, while it may seem a little silly- I think it is healthy! Just putting it all out there. :-) BTW... if I could have anything I wanted right now, I would totally have a swimming pool filled with pizza sauce and hundred of breadsticks, 7 cinnamon rolls, 7 orange rolls, a pumpkin pie, raspberry zingers, butternut squash soup, Chicago style pizza, bulgolgi, bubble tea, Ben and Jerry's ice cream, hot dog with relish, corn dog, and a dozen cupcakes. :-)
ReplyDeleteTaking control, good for you. It's not always easy, but it's worth it at the end! :-)
