I have had a crazy craving for Cap’n Crunch cereal lately. I’ve done a pretty good job putting it off because 1) food is rather expensive now and it seemed like a waste of money, 2) my waist is rather expansive now and it seemed like ….. eh, you get the joke. I don’t need to eat sugary junk like that.
Or do I?
We were running errands in Lincoln on Saturday and stopped at Aldi for lime juice and looking at their junk aisle. I looked at their knock-off Crunchberries and dismissed them. “I don’t need those.”
When we were in line, Lloyd said, “It’s past noon and you haven’t eaten lunch. I don’t want to ride in the car with you when you transform into a monster. Should we get something here?” I I hesitated…… and he went to get the cereal.
I ate it with sticky hands in the car and with a spoon this morning. No regrets!
The weird thing this cereal does to the roof of the mouth is pretty tragic.
I find that when I have a strong craving, the best thing to do is just go with it. Otherwise I eat a bunch of stuff trying to satisfy it, and end up eating more than if I just had the thing.
(Am I craving Crunchberries now?) 🙂
