I'm so sick of not being able to eat what I want.
I miss the days of endless Western Bacon Cheeseburgers and Taco Bell Marathons.
Now I have to stop and think about how every bite I take is going to effect me later. Or tomorrow.
Do I dare list the foods that I've had to cut out over the last decade?
And how would I break that list down? Alphabetically? Chronologically? In order of importance to my taste buds? Or should I categorize by the effects each food has on my aging body?
I am eating better than ever, but still weigh 40 pounds more than when I would scarf down 1 crunchy taco, 2 soft taco supremes and 2 burritos. For lunch.
I miss Dr. Pepper. I miss all the sodas. (or should I say pops because I live in Utah now?)
I miss mayonnaise.
I miss milk shakes.
Last night I drank water while my friends slurped down strawberry daiquiris because I didn't want to have shakes from all the sugar.
Do you know that I'm now off popcorn? (you do NOT want to know what popcorn does to me)
I miss spinach dip and sour dough bread.
Oh my gosh I miss brownies.
I'm not even going to mention dairy.
I'm even off of healthy stuff - granola! Do you remember how I was making granola every week about this time 2 years ago?
Are you ready for the latest?! I'm trying to go off chocolate! Because even the smallest bite has me wide awake from midnight to 3:30am. How is a GIRL over 30 supposed to go off chocolate?!
I miss Tummy's sub-sandwiches. Remember how I used to put those away?
You'd think that this post would have come last week when I was PMSing. It's been brewing in the back of my mind ever since.
Oh! and doughnuts! I wish I could have a doughnut - say twice a year.
I wonder if the SuperBowl has had something to do with this pity party. Because really, what kind of 'SuperBowl' food can I eat? Maybe it's time for me to invent the 'SuperBowl Salad' or the 'Superbowl Smoothie'.
Berries! I've had to go off berries. The seeds!
By the way: I'm still 34. Not 84 as my diet would suggest.

Jess, I don't know how you do it. I don't have that much self-discipline.
Yeah...I've been known to deal with the stomach aches after eating food I'm not "supposed" to. Because my list is not fun either.
I'm really (REALLY) sorry about the popcorn.
Amen!!
