Good eats

I stopped eating sweets some time last year when I joined the gym to assist in getting myself in shape, and only partake of them on the rare occasion. It was a bit of a bummer at first since I'm always used to having a little chocolate chip cookie with my lunch, a little blueberry muffin for dessert, etcetera. But I got used to it, and life has gone on.

Still, I'll occasionally have dreams about eating something sweet, and can fully taste it in my dreams. Last night, I dreamt that I was in Paris celebrating a high school reunion. Oddly enough, the people at the reunion were really only people with whom I was acquaintances for the most part. The urge for something sweet and scrumptious suddenly struck me, and I went over to the buffet table and procured a few old fashioned donuts and tortilla chips.

Then it began. I just kept eating them, and they tasted so delicious. I figured I'd eaten enough to ruin any chance of being healthy for the day, and said, "I suddenly have this craving for chocolate donuts!" You know, the little ghetto packaged kind that Hostess makes? And my boss appeared out of nowhere and suggested we go to Whole Foods to pick some up. So we did, and I ate them, and they were just scrumptious.

I felt a bit guilty, but then I woke up, and felt a mixture of relief that I hadn't actually eaten all that crap, and regret that I hadn't eaten all the crap.
