Laughing is funny…
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Happy Friday! Since it's Friday and I love Fridays I thought I'd tell you a funny story! Here goes…
On a Sunday afternoon a few years ago, Our neighbors stopped by with a plate of the BIGGEST chocolate covered strawberries I'd ever seen. It was love at first sight. I couldn't wait for the neighbors to leave so I could get those babies in my mouth. As soon as they left Dave picked up the plate opened up the garbage and said "too bad we aren't eating sugar huh", and then dumped the strawberries. (We had made a commitment to each other to not eat sugar or desserts anymore). As I saw the strawberries in the trash, My heart sank. I was seriously bummed. I wanted those chocolate covered strawberries. I needed them. Dog go-nit…I was going to have them. All night I thought about those chocolate covered strawberries and how much I wanted them. I knew Dave would not break his committment of no sugar or dessert so if i was going to have them, I would have to eat them alone…..and in secret!
It was bed time and we had just gotten in bed. I leaned over and gave Dave a kiss and told him I was going to go down stairs to watch TV. I lied and said I wasn't tired. He thought it was strange (since i never do this) but was too tired to care. Like a sneaky little child on Christmas eve I walked down stairs , quietly looking over my shoulder every other second to make sure I wasn't being followed. When I got to the kitchen I went straight for the garbage can. I opened it up and carefully pulled out the strawberries and one by one, in my mouth they went! With my back turned to the stairs (just incase Dave decided to come down) I quickly finished them off. I piddled around a bit (pretending that I was watching TV) and then headed back to bed.
STOP! I have to tell you something…..This story is not about me. It did happen just as I explained, but not to me. (I changed the names to protect the innocent… or something like that). This story is something my friend told me about one night at dinner. I laughed until I cried when she told this story. I loved it! After she finished telling her story all the other girls around the table took turns spilling their similar stories! It was so fun and funny!
Since we (You and I) are all in a "good" place with ourselves or working to be in a "good" place (say it to yourself even if you don't think it.."I'm in a good place"), I thought it would be fun to share some funny stories with each other, similar to the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Story. If we can't look back on the past and laugh at ourselves, we are too serious and need to lighten! 
I don't know about you, but some good laughs will get my Friday heading in the right direction! Leave a comment and and make me laugh!!!
I'll go first:
One time I was on a "diet" and I didn't want Dave to know I was breaking it (as if he cared). So I grabbed two packages of the "100 calorie mini hostess cupcakes" (that was a mouth full) and I went to the bathroom, locked the door and ate them. When I was finished I even wrapped the wrappers in toilet paper and threw them in the garbage so he wouldn't see them! ha ha what a nerd!! Oh well..at least I can laugh about it!!
Ok…your turn. Whethere you do, did, or don't have problems with your eating habits, I think everyone can relate in some way to the stories I've talked about! Please share any funny story you have about you and food!! Can't wait to read them!
