Cured today, I would

I would eat all the carbs. A huge chunk of my sister’s homemade chocolate fudge cake with thick chocolate icing. Apple fritters. Fresh baked white bread with butter. Warm apple pie a la mode. Milkshakes and ice cream with lots of cookie dough.

Even as I’m typing that out, I feel gross just thinking about what would happen if I ate all those things now. I can’t even imagine it. Feeling grumpy and yucky after eating sweets makes them easy to avoid. That’s what people don’t get when they say I have “self-control” for not eating the cake with literal candy bars sticking out of the frosting. It’s not self-control to avoid doing things that make you miserable later.

Fun post, though! A girl can dream.
