A Frosty Remedy
Today was bad. Bad, bad, bad. My three year old peed on the carpet three times. I sewed for 8 hours trying to get through my pig, beaver and penguin orders, I couldn't smile at my husband for the life of me and my tenants wouldn't stop calling. At 7 pm I was falling asleep at the sewing machine and ready to hit the sack. As I got up and headed for my bedroom I remembered that I'm on a diet. Brilliant. That meant I could go off my diet. And we all know that's the best imaginable way to finish up a failed day.
Hoping the Carb Gods weren't watching, I snuck to the kitchen and dumped all our remaining ice cream into a big bowl, poured melted Dove chocolate over the top and then topped it all off with a six inch tall tower of whipped cream. As I carried the bowl carefully to the couch, trying not to tip my precarious Leaning Tower of ReadyWhip, I was already starting to feel better. I know people would categorize this as "emotional eating," but there is no denying that my ice cream tonight was able to salvage the 15 previous hours of torture. I'm surprised nobody has bottled the stuff or incorporated it in a multivitamin. Even half an hour after I finished my binge, my insides are still happily chilled from my frosty medicine. Has anyone ever felt this satisfied after eating celery? I doubt it. I almost feel good enough to finish up some sewing - almost.
Shopping list for the week:

Freud would say that it all goes back to the soothing connection we felt during breastfeeding. Makes the icecream a little less enjoyable to think of it in that way. Sorry.
I use Twix candybars. One a day keeps my shrink away. :)
Thank goodness we have 2 birthdays this month. All that cake and ice cream will do wonders.
And some Cadbury creme eggs.
This week I noticed how wide awake I am at night. I realized it was due to the diet Dr. Pepper I've been drinking with dinner.
Today, I had Diet Dr. Pepper and chocolate for breakfast.
The breakfast of champions!
BTW, where can I get some of those slave laborors?
Hollywood, go to Costco. They have a fairly decent vanilla and you get TWO half gallons for the price of one. You can claim the large quantity as "emergency preparedness", because frankly, that's what it is.

And I regularly have chocolate and Dr, Pepper for breakfast. There is soemthing wrong with this?
Hey, I'm not saying that I'm perfect. Far from it. But I'm just surprised that people still attempt diets. They just don't work. Restricting foods just makes you crave them even more. And eventually you'll cave in. Such as when you have a terrible day.
I am a total emotional eater. Bad day=big bowl of ice cream. I'll even go out of my way to the store to buy some. Yummy! I can't do diets. I will sometimes try to eat less of the junk foods I love. But there's no way I can cut out my favorite foods. So I exercise instead.
Hope you have a better day. I understand the pee on the carpets thing. I feel sorry for the next folks who buy my house. Yikes!
...my cat likes it, too. When I finish, I let her lick the bowl. But not too much, I don't think the chocolate is good for kitties...maybe that is why she is so...er...'big-boned'...
Hope your week gets better Hollywood...
There is one right there in South Pas...and the people there are nicer than the ones at the Colorado Blvd. location...you know you want to go!! Well, I do anyway...
Take this chocolate quiz to see if you really have a problem...I scored a 20. Seriously.

Good Luck. I'm not an ice cream fan...but a VERY cold Pepsi can pretty much fix anyting for me.
