Donut Envy
When I was active in my disease, I would look at the long line of cars in front of me at the coffee shop drive-thrus and wonder how so many people could order a coffee, nothing more, and drive away. It made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. I mean, while you’re there, you might as well “tank-up,” right? Specifically I remember, at times when I was feeling especially depressed and ashamed about what I was about to do, trying to imagine what it must be like to be able to purposely go to a place that you KNOW is selling all kinds of stuff you love to eat, money-in-hand, and just not “feeling like” having anything. And ya know what? I could never do it. My mind could not wrap itself around even the possibility of not eating foods that were so accessible.
…UNTIL NOW!!
Over the past two years, I have been able to go to drive-thrus and just get a coffee without even one single thought of getting food! This may sound like a small thing, but to me it is such a miracle! Just one of the many promises of the program that have come true in my life! “It works if you work it!” Thank you, HP!
It’s still a miracle to me that I can go to Panera and order a tuna or veggie sandwich, soup and a cup of tea and not even look at the pastry. And that I can do it over and over again (I eat there about once a week during the school year).
I know what you mean. I feel the same way every time I go food shopping! LOL!
