It's sort of a NSV and a funny story

So saturday morning I go into dunkin donuts for an iced coffee and they bring out Jelly Munchkins and they smelled AWESOME. Now back in the day I would have gotten a box and shared some but not all (or even most) of them but I only ordered one as one is going to taste just as good as 3 or 5 or 12. The other cashier looks at me like I'm crazy and says "what are you gonna do with just one munchkin?"

I say "I'm gonna eat it". (Well duh)

I then grab my phone and log it and it's 80 calorlies and I'm sitting in my car, pissed off and thinking "80 calories?!? I can have a #$%$% apple for 80 calories!!!" So the NSV is realizing I'd rather have an apple than a jelly munchkin.

    hahaha, that's awesome! It's wonderful when your stomach, tongue & brain agree on what is the best thing for you. XD

    That's a big one! Dunkin Donuts products are quite addictive, so to change your tastes is a big victory!

    the other way to look at it is #$%$@#% 80 calories...glad I just stopped at one and not (nearly) the whole box as I would have in the past....

    Good job!

    The problem was my nose, the smell of the munchkins lured me in, like the cartoon hand of yummy smell that drew people in to pies cooling on the windowsil in the old Tex Avery cartoons.

    Yeah but if I'm gonna treat myself it's going to be icecream, tiramisu, a toasted marshmallow latte or carmel apple pie. Not a munchkin. I ate it because it was fresh out of the kitchen and onto the shelf of donuts.

    I avoid Dunkin Donuts altogether these days. I don't use splenda or any artificial sweeteners, and I don't drink my coffee black,, so to go there and get a large coffee with cream and 1 sugar is over 240 calories which is practically a whole meal for me at 1350 cal per day. And I RARELY eat donuts. If I ever do, I'd rather get them from an actual bakery anyway instead of sacrificing flavor at DD. But it's okay, I messed up the other night. I ate some ice cream, then realized I had to suffer with eating that instead of dinner. It sucked!

    Since I do drink my coffee black, I can usually get out of Dunkin's unscathed with just a black coffee. This time the smell of the munchkins got me. It probably didn't help I had a yogurt and then burned 672 calories running at the gym and still hadn't had a proper breakfast as I was going to grab the one thing I needed at the Babies R Us next door and then go home for breakfast.

    Thankfully I didn't get a blueberry muffin "just to not have anything bad", they are 460 calories and all refined flour.

    It's probably photoshopped, but it's funny and I love it.
