jDonna's blog: "In High Heels"

Do ya ever throw something out so you DON'T EAT IT? Am I the only one that does this?

I had no intention of buying them and had gone to the store for ice cream. I passed by one isle.... the end of that isle was stocked with barbecued chips; rippled chips; sour cream and onion chips; garlic and onion.... "Focus! Ice cream" as my conscience spoke to me..... The idea of chips tempted me! "No. I better not." I pass another isle? Chips with dip! By now, the idea of "chips" is planted in my head.... The thought of buying these damn chips is makin' my mouth water." Yes. I had to have them. Barbecued potato chips. (Forget it; the chips won"!)

Now. When I buy something like potato chips, I know I'm gonna eat more than I want to. So, I poured myself a BIG BOWL of barbecued potato chips; and, then clipped the bag and sat it on the counter. Gawd, they were good! How good were they? After I finished the bowl of chips, I trashed the rest of the bag. I knew I'd finish 'em off if I didn't. So? I weigh the pro and cons of finishing off this darn bag of chips!

Pros:

They're good! In fact really, really good.

Cons:

Salt intake?
Water retention?
Calories?
Weight gain!

It looks like the con's won! Trash 'em!

And, right in the trash the rest of those chips went!

Do you ever throw something in the trash so you don't eat it? Maybe I should start weighing the pros and cons BEFORE I buy?
