DAY SIX TEMPTATION

I went food shopping for my daughter today, because she's still taking it easy since she had the baby. Anyway, I ended up buying everything that I thought she and her boyfriend would need, including treats, and when I was done, I picked up the Chinese food that I had ordered for them too. But here's the difference, I did not buy a single thing for myself food wise okayyyyyyy... and I didn't order myself any Chinese food. Me! Not ordering Chinese food is like Idaho potatoes being dug up in New Mexico.

Now as much as I love Chinese food, I had to make a stand by resisting the temptation to order anything for myself, much less to stay around and watch them eat it.

I didn't try to convince myself that if I ordered something like chicken, shrimp or beef and broccoli that would be cool, after all it's protein with vegetable. Naw, Naw, Naw, I'll tell you what it is, it's out of control eating waiting to happen.

Trust me, I've been down that road many, many, many times, including this past 4Th of July. With my "oh I'll bake a peach upside down cake for the barbecue get together and I won't have a single piece, (But ended up having 2) wishful, I have control (Yeah right) and it ain't gonna happen kind of thinking. Knowing full well that I would and sure enough I did.

So whilst I have a not chowing down on Chinese food victory, wouldn't you know it, I'm past starving, and thinking to myself, we're "we want it now people, instant, quick and ready to go." Yet here I am hanging out with a Perdu Chicken hoping that it will defrost like yesterday just so that I can cook something South Beach friendly and healthy.
