Temptation.
April 17, 2008 by prophecygrrl
I have been doing fine for the last three days. Not too many temptations that couldn’t be quelled by a small amount of dark chocolate chips that only equal like…. half a point. Not even the tiny bite of my boyfriend’s melt-in-your-mouth McDonald’s Double Cheeseburger was enough to make me stray from the veggies and Lean Cusine path. Sure I’ve gone over my points just about every day but that’s why they give you those extra ones you can stretch out for the whole week. But today….not five minutes ago this
walked by me. And somehow the image I found is strangely life size. I want one. I don’t know why I want one. I never ever eat at Wendy’s and I don’t even like ice cream that much but right now I want that Frosty soooo bad. I wonder how many points it is…I promise my next post won’t be so shallow…I think.
Life-sized, walking food is the most tempting. Mmmm
When I crave something like this, I usually just eat something very similar - and a healthier version. If I really wanted a frosty I would probably blend some skim milk, Breyers Fat Free Ice Cream, sugar free Hershey’s syrup (for chocolate), and ice. That would be like 3 points if you did a cup of milk and half cup of the ice cream.
Sometimes its just better to give in though.
That’s a great recipe. I’ll have to remember that. And Ben you made me LOL… If it had really been lifesized and walking I probably would have just tackled it. But alas I don’t think the girl carrying it would have been too happy =)
hahaha oh jeez. i’d say just go for it. afterall, isn’t it frozen yogurt? yogurt’s healthy.
this is what typically goes on in my brain while i try to justify eating junk. it works quite well.
oh, and this post reminds me of the quote i keep on my fridge:
“inside me is a thin woman screaming to get out. i can usually keep the bitch quiet with chocolate.”
