Kindle 8,667 Posted December 24, 2014 So I was traveling yesterday and airports have always been huge eating venues for me. There's often these great restaurants and you've got hours of nothing to do...might as well eat (not to mention drink!) So I was doing laps in the SLC airport yesterday, drinking my bottled Water, trying not to think about food. I had only eaten 1/2 banana on my way to the airport 4 hours earlier and I really was hungry! I walked by the Cinnabon stand...oooo it smelled so good. Then here comes a Rocky Mountain chocolate Factory booth....mmmmm all those truffles! Next there was the Krispy Kreme display. I went over....pressed my nose longingly against the glass, staring at the donuts, trying to keep the drool in my mouth. And low and behold, on top of the counter, next to the cash register, was a display of Quest Bars! I picked out a chocolate brownie flavored one, paid the jacked up $3.50 and continued on my airport walkabout. What a good little bariatric patient I am!

nikki9 70 Posted December 24, 2014 Great job! I too avoided donuts yesterday. I bought 2 dozen for the people at work and didn't have 1/2 nor did I get my favorite ham & cheese croissant from the donut shop. They are my favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted December 24, 2014 Krispy Kreme?????? Oh, man............what pleasant memories of when I though sugar and grease were food groups. Congratulations on having the strength to resist. As my people say "You done real good." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WL WARRIOR 692 Posted December 24, 2014 So very admirable! I remember when my college town Springfield, MO) was celebrating the grand opening of its first Krispy Kreme restaurant. A week before this grand opening, they drove a van around town and gave away free Krispy Kreme doughnuts and pasteries. They were delicious! The customer line on their first day was out the door and down the street. I wish I had the same metabolism as I had back then. I can't even get by with just licking the icing off anymore. However, my cravings for sugar have diminished since I've gone without it for three months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunnkistme 76 Posted December 24, 2014 Congratulations to you. Wow. Fortunately donuts make me sick so I can jet right by Kristy Kremer.... but Rocky Mountain chocolate would have caused a panic attack. I will keep your will power in mind as I face the overwhelming choices the next two days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did they wipe the drool off the display afterwards lol. I had a battle with cake the other day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcanMakeit 1,318 Posted December 24, 2014 They must have put those Quest bars out just for you. How great that you have so much restraint and how lucky you were to find the Protein bars just when you needed them. Protein snacks: never leave home without them.

Kindle 8,667 Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Kuddos to Krispy Kreme for offering Quest bars for sale!. INR! They must have put those Quest bars out just for you. How great that you have so much restraint and how lucky you were to find the Protein bars just when you needed them. Protein snacks: never leave home without them. Well I only used my restraint until I got home. My diet over the last 24 hours has consisted of sugar, carbs and alcohol! And my reward is now cramping and nausea. Oh well....totally worth it! But now back to protein... Edited December 25, 2014 by Kindle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomi71 581 Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Neither hubby nor I have EVER liked Krispy Kreme donuts. They just taste like lard to me. Yuck.I thought I was the only one! I never like Krispy Kreme for that exact reason. I prefer cake donuts like Dunkin anywho. Well, I "preferred" Dunkin. I am scared to eat it and don't even crave em.
