Did a bad thing...

[Pandemonium 515]

But then I did a smart thing!

So, I went out earlier today to accomplish two things. First, to vote in my state's primary. Second, to get passport photos taken.

Except I did them in the reverse order. I went to the CVS down the street to get the photos done. While waiting for them to print, my eyes unfortunately landed on a temptation too great for me to ignore.

I love Oreos. Like...really love Oreos. And I adore the special edition flavors that they come out with. I have not had Oreos in probably 9 months. That is a slippery slope I did not need.

Except they had Tiramisu flavored Oreos for sale. I also love Tiramisu. So...I walked out of CVS with a package of Tiramisu Oreos.

Then I went to my polling place and voted.

I came home, got in the door, and opened up that package of Oreos.

At which point I took 4 Cookies out...

And vac-sealed them into individual bags that then went right in the freezer. My boyfriend will be the beneficiary of my cookie weakness while I keep my four cookies locked away in the freezer for another 6 or so months. At which time I might indulge.

Or I might throw them out because I'm not sure how freezer burnt cookies would taste.

I'm always buying things that look good and giving them to my husband. It's my way of living vicariously through him...

I buy things that are bad for me, too, and package them in one-serving sizes. Then I eat one, and ask myself if it tastes good enough to justify the calories. Sometimes it does, and I eat the one serving, but a lot of times it doesn't, and I end up giving it away or throwing it out. I hate wasting food but I hate being fat more.

I love this quote!

same here, buy, taste, and then give it away.

This is such a wonderful story. We’re still human. You SERIOUSLY worked this well. Thanks for sharing. I kept waiting for the bad thing - eating them all, several of them and/or getting sick afterwards. Kudos human, kudos.

You did better than I did. I went into Walgreens and the fudge-covered Oreos were staring at me (12 to a box) and I was feeling sorry for myself during COVID lockdown and ate six of them the first day and the other six the second day! Never again!
