Subway puts crack in their cookies! okay not really but I am withdrawing from them just the same
I have been working so much that I haven't been keeping track of my weight like I normally do, which some would argue is a good thing since I can be a bit obsessive about it. Since I have been working so much, I have also been wearing elastic waist scrub pants everyday. Yesterday I actually had a day off and went out in normal clothes to shop. I got home and was changing into PJ's when I realised that I had pulled my corduroy pants down without undoing them. I was impressed. I certainly couldn't have done that when I purchased them last year. I had been looking through last years Halloween photos and deciding that I actually look thinner then than I do now but maybe I am wrong. I know what it has to be, the awful cafeteria food at my new hospital. My old hospital had a Subway in it. "What so is unhealthy about Subway?", you ask. Their cookies! I swear they contain crack. They even have a "special" on them, buy three for $1.30 (3 for a Dollar non-Alaska price). You just have to buy the "special" since it is like getting one whole cookie free right? Yep, I would go at least a couple of times a week and buy a grilled chicken wrap (hold the sauce, or if I had been really good, with light mayo but only a little), light Lemonade, and possibly a bag of sun chips. Then as I was checking out and thinking how healthy I was being getting a whole meal for 500 calories (or so) that would fill me up for my 12 hour shift..I would see the cookies. They place them right by the register for this very reason, I just know it. I say a silent prayer that the person wrapping my meal will hurry. Darn, they dropped an olive and feel compelled to replace it, now I smell the cookies. I go back over their nutritional information in my mind (I looked it up and memorized it hoping it would stop me from buying them, it didn't work). "Geez", I tell myself, "almost 300 calories each, almost the calories in your wrap and not even very filling." "They sometimes give you a pouchy ache." "Sometimes they don't" "Sometimes they are under/over baked and taste awful" "Sometimes they are cooked just right and taste Divine" "they have probably been sitting there all day" "So have the ingredients in your wrap" I hate to admit it but most of the time, the cookie won and I ended up getting at least one. If I was lucky, they didn't have any by the time I got a chance to go eat. Well, luckily, the food at my new job isn't tempting. It is standard hospital cafeteria food. I usually get a salad with balsamic Vinegar. This can be very good. But darn, I miss those crack Subway cookies. Maybe they have a support group out there.
