If lettuce were my comfort food

I get cravings a lot, but not for healthy things--come on, who says, "Hey, ya know I’m feeling kind of blue I think I'll curl up on the couch with a huge bowl of cold lettuce, yeah, YEAh that will make me feel better!" No, no I am not one to cry in my diet coke, I like to cry in my filled mug of double cream hot chocolate with a candy cane stirrer, whip topping and a cherry on top! It would be great to be like "Man I would KILL for a veggie platter with fat free ranch dressing right now!" Or lament "Aghh, who ate all of the whole wheat cardboard bread, now all that's left for my sandwich is this disgusting wonder bread Texas toast, Geeez!" Nope, I love fatty, fried, sugar, chocolate, lardy, delicious foods with lots of butter, judge me if you must but you KNOW deep down you love all the good stuff too! So I thought perhaps I would get some of the cravings out of my system by indulging them, for instance, the other day I really really wanted some chocolate mint brownies. (you're thinking GARSH, she sure has a lot of weird cravings. Is she pregnant? No, she is not pregnant, SHE IS HUMAN) So I made me a batch of chocolate mint brownies, and sure enough I am sick to death of them. So if I go down the list of all of my naughty cravings, one by one, and eat each one until I am sick of it, then...THEN....oh dear...then I will be writing a blog about how my poor bones can no longer support the weight of my thunder hips. Perhaps I should develop a taste for lettuce after all. 

See SNL Lettuce skit, I apreciate this

  1. Try living in Mexico, where lard is a way of life. That is some good stuff. Come visit, and we can bindge on these deep fried tacos - oh mama you don't know what you are missing until you have tried tacos out of a back of a broken down car. That's why I will start my diet when we move.

  5. I totally binged last night on fondue - chocolate and cheese - now I am really feeling it in my gut. That is what I need to remind myself of - Do you really want to have a stomach ache?
