cravings

I really wish I had a pop-tart right now. I LOVE pop-tarts. I know that they're not even food, really - as much as some man-made sugar + perservatives concoction, but damn are they good. And actually the fact that I am so aware they're so bad is the only reason I don't have boxes stacked up in my pantry right now. Every time I'm at the store and I see them, I contemplate buying just one box... but the reason I don't time after time is I just know that buying them means I'll eat them - and really I don't need one more thing I can snack on as I sit here on my ass all day. Plus, having a cold lately I've been skipping my hikes a bit more often - so adding a couple pop-tarts to that wouldn't help anything! hahaa

I did this same thing with Fig Newtons. I love Fig Newtons... and honestly I really had myself convinced that they were good for me.... but lately I've been starting to admit and accept that they're just as bad as cookies. Awhile back I bought a little lunch snack pack of them at the store, so I always had some around, could take them on the go and everything. But the snack packs make them come all long, like a two in one bar. Somehow they didn't taste as good that way. But I think it helped me get over my cravings for them a little bit.

Ya, I hate to say it - but I think I need to go buy myself some pop-tarts.

update: eewww. I just went to go look up pop-tarts online - and there's a bunch of gross new flavors. For the record, I just one the good ol' fashioned strawberry frosted ones. not that those aren't gross to some of you non-pop-tart lovers... but to me they're sooooooo good. :)
