Chili Cheese Fritos

If I have to admit to one weakness in this life, it is Chili Cheese Fritos.

They are scrumptious, delicious, the absolute B E S T! But...BUT I have not had some in YEARS. For a while now, I've been on this healthy eating trip, and I've been pretty good at it, even during this pregnancy, and for some reason, I have had enough willpower to resist a bag of chili cheese fritos every time they try to tease me at the supermarket, and trust me, they tease me. Every single time.

At the beginning of this pregnancy, I told myself and the hubby that during our third trimester, that it would finally be the time I would treat myself and the baby to some chili cheese fritos. But, now, even as I find myself at the tail end of our third trimester, every time I see them again at the supermarket, teasing me, I feel like I've come this far without surrendering, that I should just keep on resisting. I feel this brief surge of victory every time I am able to walk out of there without some in tow. I feel like if I give in, even if its considered a treat, a prize of some sort, I will have lost. And I hate to lose!

Oh dear chili cheese fritos, will I ever taste you again? What if throughout all these years of resisting, I have built them up to be better in my mind, in my memory than how they actually are? Maybe its for the best. Perhaps it's better that I remember them to be more than what they are, and never really try them again. No disappointment.

If I am ever to give in to temptation, the time is now. It's the third trimester and some chili cheese fritos shouldn't really make a big difference in the grand scheme of things. I've pretty much gained the weight I am going to gain in this pregnancy, and so why not?

After this baby arrives, you better bet I will be working hard to lose my pregnancy weight, and so chili cheese fritos will not, cannot be an option. And so, the resistance cycle resumes again. So I just need to convince myself to treat myself...now!

Well I'm off to the market, and I know they will be there teasing me. Oh how they tease me. Will I give in? Will I surrender? Did I mention they are located right across the freshly delivered krispy kremes? Damn this world!
