Why Say No, When You Can Just Say Yes?


A month ago I embarked on a low carb diet. Now, I firmly describe to the belief that if I want something I should just let myself have it. That is to say that I haven't been following the diet to the T. However, there are some things that I simply try to avoid.

Last week the only thing I wanted in the world was a cake donut with chocolate icing and sprinkles!

Nearly every one of my conversations had a mention of donuts in them. It began with bold "I really want a donut right now" statements and graduated to friends texting me with the haunting word "donut." By Friday, I'd had enough. I opened my eyes and new that within the next hour and a half I would have a donut in my hand. Now when a person is craving a donut, specifically a cake donut, there is only one option as far as I'm concerned.

"Well, hello Blue Dot Donuts! It's been a while. It's so nice to see you again." This is actually the conversation I had rolling in my head when I got there. I ordered two chocolate glazed donut holes, one cake donut with blueberry (yes that's right, I said blueberry) icing, a cake donut with chocolate icing and nut sprinkles, the pb&j donut (peanut butter icing with a berry jam filling) and two strawberry filled donuts. In my defense the strawberry filled donuts were for a friend who realized what I was up to and the others I ate over a course of five hours. It was the most satisfying part of my week. To improve on that my total was less than $5. Maybe next time I'll have the courage to try their Maple Long John with Bacon.
