A King Beat Me Up

February 17, 2010

Or should I say, I’m beating myself up over a King?

A King Cake that is.

I went to a friends house for a lovely, healthy Fat Tuesday dinner. She made a salad with cajun chicken and home made bleu cheese dressing. Great and lowcarb!

Except I brought a King Cake to the dinner. Even though she is watching her calories and I don’t eat carbs. I told myself “we’ll just see who gets the baby, no one has to eat it.”

Stupid Emmie.

I ate it. A big chunk of it. And when I was driving home with the remnants, intended for hubs? I ate some more.

I walked into my house, with the ziploc bag of half-eaten king cake and green/purple/yellow layer of sticky fingers from the sprinkles. I felt like I had eaten a brick, and my head started to hurt.

It didn’t taste good. I wasn’t hungry. But it was there, and I ate it anyway.

When will I ever learn?!?!
