Screw the diet. Screw the schedule

[pegkerr]

I'm walking to Kieran's and having a pot roast sandwich with their wicked mashed potatoes on the side. And probably bread pudding for dessert. And I don't care that my lunch is supposed to be only 45 minutes long.

I badly need some comfort food.

It's okay to go hogwild once in awhile. Do it! It's denying ourselves everything that leads to frustration and overindulgence and diet failure. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change! Incorporate some comfort food and treats for yourself into your lifestyle. You deserve it.

And have some pot roast for me while you're at it.

Yes, I said "Screw healthy eating" today, too, and just finished off a bag of chocolate chips.

Mmm... pot roast with Guinness gravy. Now I want one.

Sometimes, when the world is being very hard to you, you need to be soft to yourself. That's okay. Remember, you can eat whatever you want... as long as you don't eat every thing every time.

That sounds like a badly-needed treat.

Buen provecho!

Yay! for recognizing that you need to take care of yourself in a special way, and then *doing* it.

Drat ... if I'd been awake I'd have hopped a bus downtown and joined you. (While probably not your thing, I've found that a half pint to a pint of good beer at lunch does wonders at making the rest of the day seem much more bearable.)

It would have been nice to have the company, although as I told minnehaha, I probably would have been lousy company.

But next time I go, I'll try to let people know.

Hey, if you were lousy company, I could have at least talked to the pot-roast sandwich. Between that and a pint of Guinness I bet we could have cheered you up.

Isn't that right, Mr. Pot-Roast?
"Yes, I'm sure that's just the thing, jbru. But please, call me Roastwich, all my frinds do."
As you wish, Roastwich. You are, of course, acquainted with this lovely pint?
"Oh, she's the finest kind, my friend. You're a lucky man."
I think so. Nice of you to say.
"Not at all. You've met my potatoes?"
Why, no. A pleasure, I'm sure....

Hey!

You're stealing our material. (In our first show we ran a sketch titled "Sometimes Fred's Dinner Disagreed With Him...")

LOL!

"I wouldn't eat me if I were you. Do you know how long I was sitting under that heat lamp back there? Let's just say your the third diner I've seen today...."

Re: Hey!

Sounds like your food was much friendlier than the scary frozen dinner we used. The best line was one that Chris came up with on the fly, "We're frozen food, we know what we're talking about." Always got the biggest laughs.

Comedy is weird.

Will and I read through the menu and were envious that said pub is 1500 miles away.

I hope it did, indeed, comfort you.

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

You could have called first.

Yeah, but it was kinda last minute impulsive.

I would have been lousy company anyway.

[pameladean]

Good for you. If a diet is a punishment, it has gone way too far.

P.

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Not a punishment, no, but I've been trying to be careful. But today, that wasn't the most important thing.

I had a cookie with my Subway sub. You just need it when you need it. Hope it helped.
