Self control?

I had no intention of blogging right now, but they are staring at me. The chocolate covered raisins on my desk. I can't control myself either, little mother f'ers are too enticing! So, I pick up another handful, and make them the honorary guests of this post.

I bought them, so I am the one to blame, but where the hell is the self control? Clearly, I have none when it comes to certain things. I had breakfast and a LARGE coffee already today. I have lunch plans at noon. I have no self control.

Other things that win this battle:

1. Queso. Large consumptions.
2. Chips and salsa.
3. 7 layer dip.
4. Junior Mints.
5. Veal Parmesan from La Mela's.
6. Peanut butter granola bars.
7. Ranch dressing.
8. Crab legs and butter sauce. YUMMY.
9. Wasabi peas. Random, but damn good.
10. Cashews
11. My dad's BBQ pork ribs!

I'm sure my list is much longer but I think that's all I care to reveal for now. I do try to balance out, control myself, with enough servings of low fat, healthiness, but every once in awhile damnit I love losing self control.

Guilty food pleasures anyone?

Orange CRUSH

I'm no organic hippie, not yet anyway, but I am working every day to eat healthier. It's a lifestyle change - BUT - there are just some things I will never give up. NEVER!

If I could take three things with me to a deserted island to survive one of them would be ranch dressing. Name one thing you can't dip in ranch that isn't good? Name it. Can't, can you? Survival mechanism #1.

Cheese - #2

Coors light - #3

What? There a fruits and veggies on the island.

I do find myself buying more fruits and veggies than ever before so I know we are on the right track. Not quite perusing the Whole Foods isles yet, but that is out of mere intimidation - "What is that?...huh...wtf does that say...is that real food?"

It's all REALLY changed for me now that Brooklyn is eating BIG people food. I want her to be a healthy child, eating fruits and veggies, but I can't deny her the sugar rushes either can I? So, we are compromising. She gets to play with, and eat, a chocolate covered donut on Saturday morning, and an occasional popsicle. When she gets older I'll be all about the funnel cake at the carnival, cotton candy, etc...but I'm shooting for balance. The rest of the week we are trying other things, rice cakes, peaches, yogurt, etc...and just recently, Oranges. I have never seen this child eat anything like she can eat an orange. Devours it. Juice everywhere, one big sticky mess. Awesomeness.
