If you’re an elementary school teacher on a diet Valentine’s
Day is your worst nightmare. Before the
kids even came into my room I was given: a heart shaped chocolate box, a bag of
chocolate, a decorated sugar cookie, and a Milky Way caramel heart. I did really good and stashed it all in a bag
without looking at it, even when one kid kept asking me if I’d tried his
chocolate yet.
Then the afternoon party came…. A cupcake decorating
party. I started to set up all the
toppings for the decorating while the kids were at P.E. For whatever reason my phone decided not to
save the picture so let me describe. Five
bowls on each table filled to the brim with gummy bears, skittles, mini marshmallows,
heart shaped marshmallows, and gumdrops.
Want to know what the most delicious smell in the world is? Opening a bag if gummy bears. YUMMMMMY. I stuck to my guns and DIDN'T EAT ANY OF THE CANDY. I even got rid of the extra cupcakes while
the kids were still at gym so that I would not be tempted to eat one. GO ME!
Cut to later that afternoon… I broke down and opened a Milky
Way caramel heart thing and took a bite.
After only eating dark dark chocolate for 4 weeks it was a little too
sweet on my stomach. I threw the rest
out and promptly took the rest of my Valentine’s Day stash up to the teachers’
lounge and left it there.
Cut to later that night… two glasses of wine at happy hour
made me eat a mozzarella stick and half of a spring roll. Then go for fro yo and not choose the plain
tart flavor that would have been unprocessed.
Oh well…. I guess my day balances our good/evil wise.
