O.K. I have to confess....I have reached some low points in my life. Even the first time I attempted Atkins and binged uncontrollably after the first week would definately fall in this category, however, there is nothing like my incident yesterday.
I had a long day at work and an evening meeting I regularly commit to. I had gone hours without eating (I know....bad, bad, bad...). I stopped at El Pollo Loco to get dinner on my way home (broiled chicken and double sides of steamed veggies...going good so far!). I also ordered a quesadilla to scrape out the good gooey hot cheese(sticky situation, but still an appropriate choice).
Here's the problem. I sat in the car to eat the cheese (the whole purpose was for it to be good and hot!!!
). As I began driving home, the sweet smell of the tortilla was overwhelming and too much to handle.
I bit into the quartered seqment of a piece of the quesadilla. then I stuffed the WHOLE triangle segment in my mouth.......I can not tell a lie.......the flavor was sooooooooooooooo good!!!!
THEN...I spit it out and scrubbed my tongue with a napkin. I picked up another piece and did the same thing. I continued with this behavior until all 4 segments were gone. Then I drove happily home (and slightly ashamed and guilty I might add).
Please tell me someone else has hit a low like this. I assume I looked like an addict edulging in her latest fix....
I am glad I had the "right mind" and willpower (such relative terms!)to spit it out. I have made good progress so far and I would just die if after I cooled off and came back to my senses, I was faced with the fact that I threw all my hard work down the drain for a few flat pieces of bread!
