indulgences

once, many moons ago, i lost a lot of weight. a LOT. and much of it was lost by being brave and cutting out the indulgences of my diet... things that now i don't even miss. but last night, i was at the grocery store, and you know what they say about not shopping when you're hungry...

there it was, cold and smooth in the freezer.... ben & jerry's phish food ice cream. mmmm. smooth (like only b&j can make it) chocolate ice cream with rivers of gooey marshmallow & soft caramel with fudge fish... oh. my. gosh. 4 servings per container, 270 cal per serving, 100 cal from fat - and i can eat a pint of phish food without blinking. i did, in fact, used to do just that. but i could not resist... i bought it.



now every day i carefully sliver my teaspoon under a thin layer of chocolaty goodness, and savor a mouthful of unbelievable goodness... but only one. well, maybe two. but that's it. this phish food is a slippery slope, people. you gotta keep a tight grip on the reins!

Yeah, it's a slippery slope, but at least it wasn't, like, a Big Mac or anything...

One spoonful of ice cream!? Will you teach a class on self control? I'm signing up.
