You know what SUCKS?
Sep. 10th, 2009 06:06 pmI have been dieting, and doing fairly well. I have been counting calories, because that is what is easiest for me, and gives me the best results. Today, I went to pick up my comics, and the comic store is in the same strip as a Taco Bell. I WANTED TACO BELL. BAD.
I resisted like a good little girl, and went home. I went online and looked up nutritional information, and found that I could have a chicken quesadilla for only 400 calories. I checked my calorie consumption for the day and took into account the I would probably want a snack later in the evening. It was DOABLE! WOO!
I loaded the kids in the truck and off we went to get Taco Bell take out! I repeated my order TWICE, because my kids are picky and one won't eat anything that has been 'tainted' by tomatoes. The cashier repeated it back to me. Perfect. I paid, got my food, and checked the bag to make sure that no tomatoes were contaminating the youngest's food, and that all items seemed to be accounted for.
My mouth WATERED all the way home like I was Pavlov's dog during a fire alarm. I sat down to savor every bite of my much longed for meal, and found...NO CHICKEN IN MY QUESADILLA. D=
Granted, it's fifty less calories than I intended to eat, so no problem there, but IT WASN'T EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. This makes me sad. Not only have I been dieting and avoiding temptation, but I have been financially broke, so this was a real treat. Add that to my having PMS and being annoyed by pretty much everything, and you have a sad, sad girl.
Maybe it's a sign? I don't know, but I feel maligned by the universe, somehow.
