It's not as bad these days as it used to be - like my freshman year at Gordon, when all I EVER wanted to eat was chicken salad wraps; or when I spent a semester in Seattle, and all I EVER ate was Jamba Juice (Razzmatazz w/ OJ) and bubble tea (orange w/ extra boba please). Sarah and Sarah will remember these times clearly, I am sure. Or - remember my Spritetastic year? It was like, I swear, a whole year when all I drank was Spritetastic, a recipe of my own invention, combining Sprite, cranberry juice, and apple juice. I remember one day in the dining hall when I was feeling kind of grumpy and out of sorts, and Sarah Fait looks at me and goes, "Sam, have you had any Spritetastic today? Go get some, it always makes you feel better." And she was right, I pepped up immediately.
Last winter I went through a phase where all I wanted to eat was Fiber One bars and iced lattes. That was a bad time. Possibly better for me, though, than my Coke and Cheez-it fetish of the previous fall.
There are certain things that I just know I can't have in my house - like Oreos - because I just WILL NOT STOP eating them until they're gone.
These are the things I'm eating now: Cherry Coke Zero, herb & garlic goat cheese with crackers, blueberries (on sale at Shaw's but still expensive - I've probably spent $20 on blueberries in the past week and a half), and these really delicious cookies that are like mint Milanos, but better.
I get to leave work in 13 minutes and I can't wait to go home and finish off my pint of blueberries. :)
