Let me just make a proclamation to you in case you don't know...I love bread...and dessert. If one of my new year's resolutions is to lose weight it never works because I love bread and dessert. When I go out to a restaurant I usually look at two things which is the dessert menu and the appetizer menu which usually consists of fatty breaded items bathed in grease before they serve it to you...oh and another thing I love is cheese..ooey gooey cheese.
Domino's has this commercial out right now that talks about how you can practically jumprope with all the cheese they stick in their breadsticks...dumb commercial, because now it's all I can think about. Don't get me wrong, I love fruit as well, like apples. But to me there is just something so much tastier than a normal plain apple if it is chopped up and put into a pie like at McDonalds. Oh I do love those apple pies but do you remember back in the day when the apple pies there were fried and they were so delightful? Why oh why did they feel like they had to bake them how they are now. Oh and while we are on the subject of mcDonald's if you have not tried their caramel apple sundae, you really need to, it is like heaven!
With all the bread and desserts in the world how is a girl supposed to be cuter than those stick thin figure girls in Cosmo? It's something I ask myself all the time. Just today my BFF Frankie went to Panera for lunch and brought me back their creamy broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl...oh my gosh...sheer heaven! And if the little top pf the bread and an extra piece of sourdough wasn't enough for me then at least I could tear up the bread bowl when I'm done and eat that too...but I'm not done! Along with it I asked her to bring me back one of their chocolate croissants, they are absolutely delectable! They are these little light flaky wonders with nice ooey gooey chocolate just enveloped inside waiting to pour out into your mouth teasing every tastebud! Someone give me an insulin shot now...please!
And that's just it. My family has a history of diabetes in the family. I know that pretty soon I will be diabetic too, but I can't help it, why oh why do they make sweets and bread and everything else I love if I can't enjoy? I remember my Grandma was diabetic and my cousins and I would go to her house for her to babysit us and she would have to inject herself with insulin. Sometimes she would let us kids do it for her and we always thought we were hurting her, but no. She would just grab some loose skin and say ok, shoot me and we did as we closed our eyes. I remember her living with us and she would hide bags of candy under her bed. She was happy, and I know it's because she had her candy...a woman after my own heart!
Come to think of it I have a bucket that Frankie bought me for Christmas with a bag of pocorn and a box of M and M's. The best of the best...sweet and salty together!
Yes, I want to be a cute girl like those girls in cosmo but I also want to be happy. I know if I am having a bad day, a salad won't make me feel as good as a vanilla bean frappuccino from Starbucks with caramel and mocha on the sides will!
Maybe I am not less than 100 pounds, but I am happy, know what to order that will make me even happier and you know what...I am cute and you all know it! Ha ha...it's my new positive 2012 attitude! May you continue to enjoy all the things that make you happy, even if you know it's bad for you:)
