Donut Obsessed

In my weight loss group they do not outright ban any specific food because they know it just can't be - it would not work. However each week they do ban one food for the week and if you do have some of that food you have to cough up a dime for each serving that you had. Usually I am fine - it is a ban on soda, pies or carmel corn but last week the ban was on donuts. Oh donuts! There is a place here that has the best donuts ever! Even better than Kane's in Saugus. It truly is evil - it is open 24 hours a day and 365 days a year! It absolutely owned and run by Satan. Plus there is ALWAYS a line! Well I tease my niece all the time because I am dying for Chinese food from back east since it stinks out here. She has been twice to Petersen's so she keeps saying if I send a donut she will send Chinese food. Last week, during the donut ban, I went and bought her a donut. It was a special donut for Easter with purple sprinkles and purple is her favorite color. Of course there is always a line so I had to stand there for 15 minutes smelling the damned donuts as I waited to get hers. Once I bought it, I immediately sealed it and then when home, packed it up and mailed it to her. How funny is that! She got it very quickly and it survived the trip across the USA completely intact. She is now completely aware that I am standing by my mailbox daily waiting for my Chinese food!

Last night I got to hang with Rick. He is such a good guy and I just enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy with a good friend. He came up and we went for sushi so it was a double treat. After dinner I was completely full but the little madman was still hungry??? I said I know what to get and I brought him for donuts. As everyone, he LOVES the donut place here. I cannot tell you enough, it is insane how good it is. An actually I truly was full so I did not get one. There is no ban this week and yet as I stood in that stupid line again, I was ok. I did not buy one nor did I feel the desire to buy one. He got a chocolate dipped old fashioned plus a cream cheese roll. As he ate it in the car he sounded like my 2 year old nephew - making those happy noises as he scarfed them both down. I would normally think he is a freak but I know firsthand the ecstasy of those donuts.
