Cheeseburger in Paradise?
These days I’m watching my calories, I’m exercising like a crazy person, and I’ve been really good about drinking water and limiting pop. That said, I just got hit with a ridiculously strong craving for a cheeseburger. We’re talking a big, juicy, greasy, dribbles down your fingers, cheeseburger.
Excuse me, I think I may have just drooled a little bit.
Don’t get me wrong. My 70 calories of Campbell’s Soup at Hand was ok. (Actually, the veggie beef is awful. Stick to tomato or chicken with stars.) My sugar-free instant oatmeal made a nice breakfast. I’ve worked my way through a package of fat free pretzels and one tiny clementine.
All of this is low-cal, tasty (minus the unfortunate soup incident), and nutritious. And now I just want a burger! I’d take a donut, given the opportunity. I’d burst into song for a burrito.
Mmmm. I could definitely get on board with a gloopy Taco Bell burrito supreme. Oh! Or better yet, a Taco John’s burrito. When I was a kid there was nothing better in the world than a Taco John Burrito Supreme or a Whopper Junior with Cheese (no onion, no tomato, extra pickle. I took that “have it your way” thing very seriously.).
I know the craving will go away if I can just stay strong, but heaven help me, I want to run down to the break room as fast as my junk food-deprived body will carry me and fill up on something microwaved and bad for me. I’d even take a ham and cheese Hot Pocket with a smile.
Must… stay… strong… Reaching… for… granola… bar….
