What’s up world? Having a great weekend so far? I know I am. Feeling healthy and feeling good. Drinking my teas and waters. I never thought I would make it to day thirteen but here I am. Take that friend who thought I fail in 4 days. It hasn’t been easy though. There are times where I would say “Ehh….. Eff this,” and settle for a pile of tasty carne asada french fries with sour cream, salsa verde, and guacamole. For those who follow my blog I’ve probably mentioned these seductive asada fries once or thirteen times before. It’s because it was soooo delicious. So on the topic of delicious foods I can’t eat anymore because it’ll blow me up… Here’s my top 5.
- Carne Asada Super Fries with Guacamole, Sour Cream, Cheese, Salsa Verde, and a butt-load of french fries for $7.07 at a Mexican fast food place just a minute away from where I live. Before this diet, I would probably eat these close to three times a week. There was a day where I ate this twice. It was addictive and I didn’t care if it was bad for me. I didn’t care that the fries came from a bag of frozen fries. It was the food crack of my life. Good thing I stopped though. Eating this continuously would’ve been very dangerous for my body.
- A bag of dumplings. Any dumplings. I’m just a fan of the texture of the dumpling skin, meat, and dipping sauces. The harmony of those three textures and flavors dancing in my mouth was indeed orgasmic. But how could dumplings be bad for you? Well, it can be bad if you eat the whole damn bag in one sitting, which I’ve done on many occasions. No more running through dumpling bags though. If I continued I would probably a human bowling ball…
- McDonald’s McDouble. What made this food attractive was it’s convenience, availability, and price. There was McDonald’s everywhere and it’s dirt cheap. I would buy 3 of these after a night of drinking and just scarf them down while watching reruns of Glee. Greasy, cheesy, beefy, and fulfilling. I miss you.
- Boba Milk Teas/Slushies/Popcorn Chicken. If you in live in the 626 (southern California) these items are very easy to come by. I used to drink milk teas on a daily basis. I even have a Yelp list where I reviewed various places and tried their boba. What makes it worse is that my store HAS MILK TEA!!! But instead I shrug and opt for a tall glass of water. GOD’S GATORADE! The sugars within these drinks can put you in a sugar high and ultimately make you chub chub.
- All You Can Eat Korean Bar Bee Que. Enuff Said.
Although I crave these foods, I remind myself that there are many healthy alternatives that are equally as tasty as these. I’ve been eating savory soups that are high in protein and fiber, making healthy foods from scratch rather than spending that hard earn money on fast foods, and just enjoying home cooked meals. The family and I had taco night last night. Lean beef, homemade guacamole, onions, cilantro and some salsa. I would usually eat until my belly blows up but I kept it real. Held myself down and ate until I was reasonably satisfied.
But there really times I do crack though. I had a BLT today. But I told the homie at my deli to lay off the Mayo. He asked me why. I told him I was trying to eat healthier. He chuckled and said that bacon wasn’t the way to go, but handed it to me and wished me good luck on my diet. Small steps. I had a banana though. Yay for penis shaped fruits.
