At Kmart last night picking up some odds-n-ends, (including
a new Brita water bottle for me), Jameson spied a bag of Fritos, and of course
had to have them. Since Jamo is so very
spoiled, I purchased said chips, against my better judgment. Why aren’t there
ever HEALTHY snacks in the checkout lane? Anyway, we got into the car, and Jamo
opened the Fritos. The sweet smell of corn chips wafted up directly to my
quivering nostrils. I heard a voice…
DON’T EAT THE FRITOS
I’ve never been one that listens to my inner voice. I
usually think that voice is full of bull, and I completely disregard “her” sane
and logical suggestions; however, this time that skinny voice was SCREAMING.
DON’T EAT THE FRITOS.
I listened. I did not eat the Fritos. I told Jameson that
next time I think we should try to find a healthier snack, like a piece of
fruit, or a 100 calorie pack of his beloved Oreos. I went home and got a
premade salad out of the fridge and chowed down.
As I sit here typing this while eating a
mid-morning snack of red & green peppers, I marvel at how far I’ve come
from just a week ago. I don’t know if the weight is falling off, and at this
point I don’t even care, but I do know that I’ve turned a major Frito corner. I
might have wanted one or two of those glistening corn chips, but I didn’t NEED
them. And besides, red peppers dipped in
a light Caesar dressing are by far more delicious. 
Good job, Erin! Frito moments are the hardest and you did it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Fritos. I would like to believe that I could have resisted the Fritos, but I'm not so sure! Well done.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's great that you recognize that it's a mental thing, and that physically you were just as happy with your veggies and dip. I think the mental part is far harder than the physical!
Whenever you think of Frito's, just think of that dude in the Guiness Book of World Records with the longest toenails. Problem solved! ;)
ReplyDeleteEric - so gross! But so true!
