The other day I bought a few donuts at Winchell's. Because all of a sudden I needed them. Mostly chocolate ones.
But then, when I got home, my body no longer NEEDED them. Something in my body chemistry changed in a couple hours. So I put them in a tupperware container, thinking that my chemistry would change back in probably a day. Or a few more hours.
And it did... Except that the next day I really, really wanted chicken enchiladas. I planned to go to the store and get them, but didn't have time. Good thing, because the next day? You got it! I no longer really NEEDED them.
Gah! Can you understand how frustrating this is to me? Not only to my pocketbook, but as a ballet dancer I am used to CONTROLLING my body and telling IT what to do. NOT the other way around. I don't want to go to the store, buy a bunch of things I want at the moment, but find I no longer want any of it the next day. You hear that, body? You're going to eat the donut and like it. Because I went out of my way to get it on my way home from teaching and I was super hungry, but did it anyway.
Here's what my body replied: "Oh yeah? So remember the on and off queasy you have been getting? Heheheh."
Here's what I said back: "Um YES. So? Thanks for all that, by the way."
My body: "Not a problem G. So, if you force me to ingest this donut, how do you know what I WON'T do to you regarding nausea? Heheheheh."
Me: "Ok ok ok ok ok! Subject dropped! Thanks for everything you do! Love you body! MUAH!"
Today I had already had two breakfasts. Yes I'm eating a lot! Does that shock some of you? It shouldn't, because I already did pre-weird ass state of affairs. But I digress. I have literally doubled my food intake. Not even half an hour after my second breakfast, I was hungry again. For a donut.
So I looked over to the tupperware of goodness on the counter-- still there!
If you're wondering how good a few days-old cinnamon roll can be, the answer is: VERY, VERY GOOD.
