Really??!

After yesterday's disappointment with the pulled pork sandwich, I decided that today I would get to splurge on the other good things I love at Sweet Pea... cotton candy and kettle corn. I love 'em! And normally we get them, but I was forgoing them this year so that I could have my pulled pork sandwich. And we all know how that turned out.

So I looked up the calorie count on the cotton candy and kettle corn and figured accordingly so that I could have my yummy Sweet Pea treat after all. And boy was I looking forward to it!! We didn't go in as early as we'd planned because Ellie really needed a little nap right after church, but we got there around 2:30 and made a beeline for the concessions. Leif said he'd get me my yummy treats while I took Ellie and went to look at the crafts.

And then I got a phone call.

No one selling kettle corn this year. WHAT??! Seriously? Bozeman is the kettle-corniest town I know! How can there be no kettle corn? But I calmed down my inner comfort food monster and reminded her to drool over the cotton candy that would be coming. Because I had SEEN lots of people eating it all weekend, so I knew it was here!

And it was there. WAS being the operative word. Yes, they had run out of cotton candy shortly before we arrived.

What a disappointment it was! And I had saved up calories so I could really splurge and not feel like I was being restricted, so now we're at the end of the day and I still have calories left. Ergh. I've been trying to eat yummy things to curb the cravings, but I still feel gypped.

The good news is that I was down when I weighed again this morning, so at least I had that to motivate me not to eat everything like a pig a blow all the hard work right before weigh in tomorrow! Because I was tempted to, let me tell you! But I didn't, and now I have calories left today (200 and some!) and I still need to drink some water before I go to bed (I'm convinced if I don't drink my water that I'll gain!) so I just have to figure out what I want. I'm tempted to make s'mores in the microwave. Sad, isn't it? But I am in want of comfort food (thanks to the disappointment over Sweet Pea food AND PMS) and I have the calories to do it, so I think I'm going to. Now... how many calories are s'mores again?
