What snack would you eat right now?

View all responses

I find this question so frustrating most of the time. Just thinking about it makes me crave a donut. An apple fritter in particular. When I have to drive, this is a literal cage fight of wants and desires. It plays out like a movie in my mind… The actor playing me is Jack Black, with some bad tight shorts, and a cape… I am thrown back and forth against the cage walls, bouncing to the mat. I see the tag and the huge dude comes flying off the ropes holding a bag of Dove chocolates in one hand and Swedish Fish in the other. No escape. I’m out for the count…

If I am writing a health blog, and have been working in primary care for years, why is this such a struggle?!?! Are those Peanut M&M’s? Good Lord, help me!

Even the ubiquitous cheap chocolate chip grocery store cookie looks good after a few hours on the road, nothing but pavement in the way to that glorious all purpose grocery outlet just a few miles away…

So maybe I have a unique struggle, but I do doubt it. If I have to say theoretically what snack I would eat right now, I would say fresh celery with one ingredient chunky peanut butter filling the trough. Actually that sounds good. Unfortunately, there is left over Christmas stocking stuffer candy sitting there, calling my friggin’ name in some weird elvish language like the Ring… my precious!

I am in the struggle and maybe I lose. That doesn’t mean I give up though. Back in the ring I go… NACHO!!!!
