Mmm, Pizza Pops
I swear I just set myself up for sabotage sometimes. We went grocery shopping and I bought a bunch of healthy stuff...and then some cheese pizza pops. What the hell was I thinking? It's like I just put them in my basket and ignored that they were there until I got home, and then all I could think was "why do I do this to myself?". I mean I'm ok right now, I don't even want one, but having them in the fridge is killer. I'm the kind of person who'll eat all 4 at once, and use the rationalization that if I eat them all now then they're gone and I won't have to worry about them later. Which is true cause I usually don't buy them again for a while afterward, but 4 pizza pops is 1000 calories! And while I'm on the topic of high calorie foods, a small blizzard at Dairy Queen is 600 calories! I mean I don't get stuff from DQ very often, maybe once a month, but you'd think they'd have some sort of "diet friendly" size. You don't need as much as they put in a small one, so why not have an XS or a child size or something? I'm not actually really sure why this bothers me so much, cause like I said I don't get them that often, but I just hate portion sizes at fast food restaurants. They're not a freaking portion! I read something once that really makes sense to me. When someone passes you a cup of something, say french fries, your brain will often register it as being a portion, because why would they give you that much if it wasn't a portion? And I don't even understand why they up portion sizes. If they had never upped portion sizes and just upped prices a bit instead they'd be making more money by selling less. I dunno, it makes sense to me. But they wouldn't be able to drop it back down now because people would complain that they're paying the same price for a lot less food.
Well that went a little off topic.
I'm having a pretty good day today. Again breakfast was crap. We went to Toys R Us at 8 this morning, an hour before they open, to see if we might be able to find a Wii. Well the answer to that would be a big fat no. There were people there who had been lined up for 15 hours. A couple hours before hand I was thinking would be enough (even though we admittedly were only there an hour before), I'd have thought things would have died down a little more by now, but I guess not. We have a friend who has a friend though who might be able to get us a Wii without us standing in line, but if we don't have one by next Friday we're gonna go stand in line at Toys R Us for a god awful amount of time. Anyways, I keep going off an little tangents. My dad offered to get us Starbucks, so he dropped us off at Toys R Us. Of course being the dumbass I am I asked for a savory cheese croissant. Those things are bloody addicting...but that's probably mostly because I love love love cheese. But on the bright side I just got an unsweetened black tea to go with it rather than a Frappuccino. Oh but then I got hashbrowns from McDonalds. Argh.
And right now I'm sitting with enough calories to have a snack.
