Katie VS Doughboy
If we have established anything in the blog it is that fried food is my nemesis. Mostly french fries but I have had many romances with the butter-slathered-powered-sugared-golden-brown devil known as a Doughboy. Luckily these delicacies are something I only found at State Fairs. Unluckily for me, I live 100 yards from the Skowhegan State Fair.
So if you're counting with me, this is the 3rd disaster that, by definition, is the "trouble" in "Trouble with the Curvy." 1. I bang up my ankle because I'm klutzy 2. I sunburn my back because who thinks to sunscreen their lower back while wearing jeans and a t-shirt? 3. The Doughboy.
I just returned from the fair and I'm not going to type filthy lies into this blog and tell you that I didn't partake in a doughboy experience... or fair fries... Am I feeling guilty? Not even a little bit. Why? Because I didn't over indulge.
I woke up this morning and went for an interval run. I pushed myself harder, ran for more of the trip, and went a little further in distance. I had cereal, a yogurt, pita chips, and an Odwalla. Most importantly though when we got to the fair Ben and I split the fish & chips and the doughboy. I only had a few bites of the fish, less than half the fries, and a third of the doughboy. I am completely satisfied. I didn't let myself get carried away. So much so that I am actually a little hungry right now. I know I ate as many calories as I usually eat for the dinner meal and I think it just goes to show that fried foods really are void of any nutritious benefit. Eat the same amount of calories and still be hungry because their is less of it in volume and what is digested doesn't take long to leave your body looking for more nutrients.
This is my life now! For the last 64 days I have made big changes and I've maintained them even when faced with "disasters" that before have made me cave. Will power is an amazing drug. I savored the taste of that grease food but I didn't succumb to overdoing it. I think this is important for me. If I gave it up completely I'd be a little miserable, obsessing over what I'm missing, and I'd wear myself down until I ate everything all by myself.
