what are you on?

I am constantly asked, "are you on anything?" 

Okay, how bad must you look and act for people to ask you if you are on anything?  I am not offended when asked this question. 

Yes, I am on something.

Baguettes and desserts.

If I get started talking about something that works me up, I reach for a baguette.  I could eat the whole thing.  No butter, plain.  A whole baguette. 

Then, I crave desserts.  Today I made a key lime pie and I guarded it like a kidney in a cooler going to a transplant recipient.   Ridiculous.

Screw Dr. Oz.  Sugar and wheat makes me feel better.  Drizzle some chocolate over it and we have a winner.  Chocolate makes you feel better and it doesn't hurt anything or anybody.

Sugary carbs have their benefits.  You don't need a prescription, you can get them anywhere, and they can travel with you.  They are legal.  (that's a biggie with me)

Whenever you are down, pop a pretzel in your mouth. 

Think about it, I am addicted to carbs and sugar because I am stressed out because my "button" used "other" things to make him feel better.  It is like wiping your ass with a hula-hoop.  Stressed again...dessert spelled backwards.

So today, I made a promise to myself and to a nice friend of mine.  She was one of the nice girls who asked, "are you on anything?"  We decided that my affection for sugary carbs would get me a finger pricker to test my sugar levels every morning.  My mom has one and that is like a mini-van with wood paneling to me.  Not happening.

So, I am putting it out there, I am revamping my diet.  If you are one of the recipients of new recipes, we are breaking up for awhile.  And to my boyfriends the baguettes, I will miss the smell of your waxy paper and crusty outsides.  But, we will meet again, I am sure.
