The name says it all. The most delicious smelling corner on the block. The first item I crave as soon as I open my eyes in the morning. Perfect cups, lids, cozies and tasty coffee. A great place to shop for fabulous mugs and other items I always just 'have to have'. Tall, non fat, no foam latte is my daily ritual, without fail. There are some days that I don't indulge but usually I add a chocolate chip cookie every single time. Now if you have ever looked or even indulged yourself with one of those chocolate chip cookies, they are soft, delectable and way too tasty to be legal. Now I looked it up once at how many calories and grams of fat are in one of those, and I decided to stop ordering them for a while but obviously it didn't last. I just went again to check the actual numbers, and they are indeed ridiculous. Are you ready? 21 grams of fat, and 430 calories. Yes. In one cookie. Calculating those numbers, times 5 days a week - makes me so annoyed, it makes me want to eat 10....and I wonder why I have gained so much weight! Like everything else, this is something that I need to stop and simply say "no" to. The trick and challenge will be to remember not how good they taste with my latte, but how good I will feel in 6 months after not making that choice. It is very simple to think this way, but to act on it takes a lot of strength.
Right now, the latte and cookie are linked and equally delicious. This is truly unfair, but such is life.
My ass is "Phat", and what I need is to not have an ass like that anymore - so stopping eating this cookie on a daily basis will be one small step toward the end result I am working towards! So today, I celebrate my last Chocolate Chunk Cookie from Starbucks. I am saying goodbye to the daily 420 calories, 21 grams of fat - I will replace with a piece of fruit. MMMMMM. If only I could pretend that this fruit is a cookie of some kind. That it gave me the same instant gratification and fullness I experience with the magical Starbucks cookie. Let's pretend Pineapple is the chocolate, Banana is the cookie dough and Apple is the burst of flavour that works perfectly with my tall non fat no foam latte. The latte is something I am not ready to give up just yet. Who knows, maybe I don't need to.
What's next? Tomorrow I will share my thoughts on exercise, then Monday? The big Phat weight reveal. Be prepared, it wont be pretty.
