Attack of the Bulk Food Store

It's happened. yet again.

I've crossed over into Second Trimester Bliss. And with that, I feel as if I have left behind the stinkin' desert. filled with porcelain bowls and bland manna.... the kind that comes in the form of saltine crackers, hot tea, and bulemia. Can I get a collective "Mmmm!" ?

I didn't think so.

Well...this Second Trimester Land of mine is filled with many, many foods. Of the milk and honey variety. The processed kind. Icecream and sugar.

But my choice of sugar is a very refined one: small, happy-colored M&Ms. Lots of lots of them. But after one has felt food-deprived for so long, it just doesn't seem right to go out and partake of the small bags of bliss.

No No No!

When I do something, I do it right. I do it BIG. And unfortunately for me, Costco is all too happy to accommodate. For within their warehouse walls, my beloved chocolate-covered candies come packaged in the FIVE-POUND BAGS.

Hmmm. Maybe this is why I gained F-O-R-T-Y pounds with my last pregnancy?

Nah. Couldn't be. Pass the bag, would ya?

:) If only I could limit myself to ONE sweet. No, my baby (and um, post baby) cravings were all for sweet, sticky goodness. Ice cream. Mmmmmmm. The Dr said I should really stop with the ice cream. I laughed. I also gained *@^#&. I'm not laughing anymore.

Um.. all that to say. Enjoy your M&M's! Have some on top of ice cream for me.

You make me want some M&M's right now. And I can't even blame it on pregnancy cravings! Maybe I'll have to go eat some Hershey Kissables since I think we're out of M&M's at the moment...

Thanks for such an INSPIRING post! :)

It's been too long since I could justify my sugar cravings. :) Enjoy your chocolate, girl!

M&Ms sound good! ...Actually any chocolate sounds good! Enjoy your time where you have an excuse to splurge!

Tracy said...

AT least you have an excuse. I would just eat them "because". Yum.

You are so funny! After all that porcelain & saltines, YOU DESERVE IT! Just try not to eat the whole bag in one sitting, k? *wink, wink*

This post reminded me that I hid a bag of m&m's last week. So I just ate them.

Thanks. :)
