comfort food

so today . . . rollie bought me more peanut butter cookies at subway than i could eat in one day.

last week he brought me soda pop and brownies at school--the best brownines ever--TWICE!! (he got them at seven eleven and i am telling you, i would do almost anything for one of those brownies.) he brought them because i had a couple of tough days at school last week. the first time he was just being thoughtful and nice. the next time he was responding to my 9-1-1 emergency text message. that time he brought me TWO brownies, and he said, "i brought you 2 brownies, so you could scarf one down immediately for instant relief, and then enjoy the other one later when you are calmer." and it worked! i felt instantly better after scarfing that first brownie. he knows me so well . . .

the massive peanut butter cookie purchase was in response to "fall off the wagon" weekend. we usually try to eat pretty healthy and avoid sugar and white foods (except for cauliflower.) but this weekend, i just needed junk food. i ate a whole bag of lays bar-b-que potato chips, and a brownie (from seven eleven) and curly fries. i drank massive amounts of diet soda. and when we went to subway today, rollie came back to the table with 14 cookies--7 chocolate chip for him and 7 peanut butter for me. ( yes, he loves me enough to fall off the wagon with me.)

next week we will go back to a more healthy way of eating--more vegetables and no sugar. and we will feel better. it will be a long time before we inject our systems with as much junk as they enjoyed this weekend, but it will happen again. because there are just those times in life when a person needs to throw caution to the wind, live dangerously, and eat junk food. and as long as it isn't every weekend, it probably won't kill you. probably.
