Leftovers

Lately, I have been having issues with food.  A few weeks ago, I wanted nothing to do with it.  I barely ate and that was fine with me.  Then, all of a sudden all I wanted was pancakes.  Seriously.  I had them for lunch AND dinner.  Yes, I am weird.  And no, I did not make them myself I got those frozen ones that you just heat up in the microwave ( they are just as good, I swear).  After a few days of that I was ok again.  I was back to my normal eating.  But this past week and now this week NOTHING has sounded good to me!  The only thing I want is like fast food.  Don't worry I haven't been going out and getting McDonald's all week (not that that would have made me upset, I just don't have the money).  I went to the grocery store HUNGRY, the thing they tell you NOT to do because you will buy EVERYTHING that looks good.  But not me.  I bought a pack of hot dogs, an onion, and two baked potatoes.  Oh yeah, and some ice cream.  No matter what my mood I can ALWAYS eat ice cream. It's like a disease.  I usually don't give into my cravings and don't buy it, but this time, I just had to give in.  Sigh, I am so weak sometimes.

Anyways.  Yesterday I was at Target ( jersey knit sheets are on sale and they are my FAVORITE) to get some things, and ended up in the grocery section.  And there they were.  The answer to all my weird stomach cravings.  The perfect food to indulge in.  State Fair Corndogs.  On SALE no less.  I looked around, feeling guilty to giving in to such a disgustingly wonderful treat, and put a box in my cart.  I don't know how it got there!  But they were there.  And I had never been so happy to "cook" dinner.

So here I am, a freezer full of corndogs and ice cream.  How am I not 500 lbs???  God is good, that's why.

Since I had a corndog last night (YUUUMMMMYYY).  I decided to not have one today (see I'm not a monster).  Instead I had a microwave dinner! Ha!  Fooled you!  I'm still messed up!

I was thinking today about leftovers.  Does anyone else end up throwing them out or is it just me?  I always have the best intentions.  I think, Oh this will be great for lunch tomorrow.  But when lunch comes around, I always want my PB&J sandwich.  It never fails.  PB&J just always sounds better than whatever else I have. The only exception to this is mac and cheese, or if I have been out to dinner the night before and have leftovers from that.  Otherwise, the food usually gets thrown out.  I always feel bad.  It's hard cooking for one person in my opinion.  Unless you like pasta, and even that can be tricky because those noodles grow SO much in the pot and my little portion I measured out now seems huge!

That was a long rant.  And really had no purpose.  I apologize, but maybe it will make you feel better about your own life.  You can thank your stomach for being normal and craving normal people food instead of corn dogs and ice cream.
