I Want A Twinkie

[bykerdruid]

Or a fruit pie or.... I've got stress today. Nothing serious, just work stress. Stupid people.... . Which makes me have a desire for sweet and I'm at work so no cream cheese and splenda. But I thought first. Go to the Atkins board and get support, just like an AA member would call his "alchohol aversion" buddy. I logged in and decided if I'm going to post anything, I had to post to Wed roll call first. Kinda took the wind out of my sails for wanting a twinkie, though. Nothing like having to "face your peers" to bring you back to sanity!

Thanks all, just for being here. Sometimes it's help even if no one actually "does" anything BUT be here....

Now if I can just get Snap Crackle Pop to quit smacking her gum with a wide open mouth and popping bubbles in the cubicle next to me. That is SOOOOOO irritating!!! Have to turn my MP3 player up to maximum and stuff the ear pods deep in my ears to drown her out and that gives me headaches.

YOU DO NOT WANT A CHEMICAL FILLED TWINKIE! ok...I'll stop yelling now...just take a deep breath and remember why you are doing this...FOR YOURSELF!!! are you gonna let a little stress ruin your perfectly good results to date? Nah...didn't think so...good for you...and don't forget to drink your water ! XOXOX

Re: I Want A Twinkie

I know the feeling..........boy, do I know it! Sorta nice, isn't it, to have the desire made impossible to fulfil since you're at work?

On Monday I was a little stressed and all I could think about was a pint of haagen dazs. And I went into a little pity party about how there's really NOTHING that replicates ice cream on this woe, and I'm not at a dairy rung to be allowed to have low carb icecream.

And then..........it passed. I forgot that happens if you refuse to indulge in a craving!

Gum crackers and bubblers are the WORST! I'm with ya in spirit. And no, I'm not bringing twinkies.

I feel the same about DORITOS! Or just some tortillas!

BACK AWAY FROM THE CARB LADEN TWINKIE!!! JUST SAY NO!!!

Go hand the girl with the gum a tissue and tell her that we are not in kindergarten anymore and tell her to spit it out...lol!

Re: I Want A Twinkie

Twinkies have ground up larvae in them and doritos smell like feet.




(sorry, thats how I do it.....)

Re: I Want A Twinkie

Ground up larvae? Ewwww...and I wouldn't really put a lot of doubt into that statement! LOL

The vending machine is always calling my name, which is one reason I almost NEVER bring money to work. But I have a dollar today, and by golly, I'll have a dollar when I go home, too!

I went and got my morning snack out of my lunch bag instead of the twinkies. Fresh from the garden home grown tomato, colby jack cheese and a cheddarwurst (I know...processed meat, but it's only 2 grams carbs). Replace that sugar craving with salt (GOTTA have salt on a tomato) so I'm okay now. Now to go grab my third 16oz bottle of water for the day.... I DO drink a lot of water!

Thanks for the support. I needed that.

You know what you need? You need some cubicle revenge ideas to get back at Miss Snap Crackle Pop.

How about popping into Wal Mart and getting a huge roll of bubble wrap. It's a great way to zap stress and it's bound to annoy the heck out of her.

Re: I Want A Twinkie

remember that twinkies NEVER expire. they never go bad. why? because they are not real food! there is like so much preservatoive in a twinkie. did you hear about the high school teacher who unwrapped one in 1989 and left it on top of a book shelf for 10 years??? it remained the same in shape, except it was solid hard and had two inches of dust on it.

serioulsly, you're doing great to resist the call for sweets. that will fade as you get more into the program. good for you!

Re: I Want A Twinkie

I've heard McDonalds french fries can do the same thing. They never mold.

Weird and a little freaky.

Re: I Want A Twinkie

ugh, can't believe I used to eat that junk. And even grosser, I don't think I would have cared about the ground up larvae if I got that info pre Atkins. G R O S S.

Re: I Want A Twinkie

Oh "larvae" girl, you're evil. I'll never be able to look at a twinkie the same again...oh wait....THANK YOU! And that thing about never going bad or moldy, that's just scarey, I'd never heard that before.....ugh!

Re: I Want A Twinkie

Makes me never want a twinkie again! Used to love them as a kid, as an adult... always found them disappointing... like they don't taste the same anymore... Anyways, glad that's one thing I don't miss. It's the chocolate cake with chocolate frosting that makes my mouth water... lol! that's okay though... I'm worth so much more than that!
