Here I am sitting in the Starbucks drive thru again. Ford Explorer ahead. Blue van behind. Waiting for my tall banana coconut blended coffee. My manna. My sweet nectar of the gods. Those 40 or so extra lbs. I'm looking to lose. It's a love hate relationship I have. And I'm sure many of you can relate. We all have our guilt foods -- some more than others. I don't have many...That I keep in my house. I've learned my lesson. If I buy a box of cookies it's gone in a day. Unless I forget where I put it. Same goes with ice cream, chocolate bars and pretty much anything sweet. To say that I have a sweet tooth would be an understatement. I have a sweet life.
I'm trying to cut these things out of my life. I don't buy cookies or cakes or chocolate bars anymore. I figure that if Starbucks is my only (food) vice, I'm doing pretty good. I may not lose any weight with that attitude, but that doesn't really bother me. It's the money if you can believe it. I try not to imagine all the cool things I could buy at IKEA if I only stopped going to Bucks once (or twice or thrice) a week. "Think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy thoughts" And I don't think quoting Homer Simpson will do me any good, but it's better than nothing.
P.S. Shout out to my main man KIP who turns one today. 'Sup buddy!
A sweet life - that's a great way to put it Lisa. I love my sweet life. Yes, I could cut it out and loose weight and save money but what kind of life would that be? :)
