Yummmm

There's this little thing called comfort food. I was having the urge to down a pint last night...a pint of Ben & Jerry's Half Baked fro-yo that is. I don't know about the rest of you, but I tend to lean towards food when I am sad, down, depressed, etc. I just love food. Somehow,I fought the urge, and went outside to do weed my garden. YAY for being productive!

The thing about comfort food, is that is feels SO GOOD. It feels like it's wrapping it's greasy, buttery, crunchy, crispy, ooey-gooey fingers around you like a soft fleece blanket. For a moment, it takes all of your other thoughts away, and you are left in a state of bliss at the pure excitement that is happening on your tongue at the moment.

However, the BAD thing about comfort food is that once you're done, you're still sad, down, depressed, and magically 5 pounds heavier. AWESOME. Now you're fat, bloated and your stomach hurts. Time to pop some Tums. It's like booze. Some people go out to drink away their problems to take away the pain. However, the next day their life still sucks and now they have a massive hangover. FAIL. I think I'll stick with the comfort food. Besides, a box of mac n' cheese is like $1.50, and that will get you about 1/4 of a beer, if you're lucky. Certainly not enough to do serious damage and forget your woes.
