Fatty McFatFat

Some days, a person just needs to bombard their bodies with fats. For me, today was one of those special Fatty McFatFat days.  The day started innocently enough with some pumpkin flax granola and organic milk (nom!), but after that things started to slip like a well-oiled gazelle. While preparing to go to school, I realized I didn't have any adequate lunch options. However, last night I did make two perfectly-ripe avocados into the most heavenly guac I've had in awhile. Though I ate half of it last night, I still had one full avocado's worth of guac. I packed that (yes, all of that) and some yummy Garden of Eatin chips (no, not nearly a whole bag. maybe two servings). I also packed an apple. Let's just say that, of the three items, one was completely devoured, one was mostly devoured, and the reddest of them all is sitting untouched on top of my desk as we speak.

After that, I snagged a free sandwich (courtesy of Cousins) on my way to mid-afternoon class. I had no idea what it was since it was labeled "specital"and even without the surprise "t" I wouldn't know what "special" meant. But hoo boy! It was an Italian! Sorry Italians, but your meats are really fatty. No wonder Snooki had a hard time getting to her goal weight of 98 pounds.

Around 5, I arrived at the Tea Garden. I had an amazing royal tea with pearls. For those who aren't in the know, imagine a lot of milk and sugar in tea. It tastes incredible. Then there are fun lil tapioca pearls at the bottom. Snack and beverage all in one big plastic cup! After a few hours of poring over my research, my tumtum started wanting the yumyum. I sent Steve next door to get some Cane's delicious fried chicken fingers. Actually, he suggested it, but I still ate most of it. 

Now, I am savoring a mug of vanilla ice cream (with the little black flecks!) with rum raisins. These raisins are far from ordinary. They started out jumbo already (that's what the grocery store said and I concur), and they just plumped out fatter and fatter as I soaked them in rum for a few days. Yum! And no, I am not drunk-blogging. There was probably 1/2 a shot at most in the raisins. I mostly limited the number of raisins I put in because I wanted maintain to a tolerable ratio of raisins to ice cream.  I'd hate to be forced into scooping more ice cream to take care of any extra raisins. (sarcasm) But am I disgusting if I ate all that today and I don't even feel disgusting? Meh.

I also read about craving fat, because I was like "what is my deal?" If I'm craving it because I'm like malnourished or some nonsense, then obviously I will eat lots of fat. But if I am binging on the fat because I am just a piggy who is addicted to fat, then I will just keep eating the amount of fat I do now, which is probably more than the average American should eat.  I will just keep reminding myself that many vitamins are fat-soluble. Imagine if I had eaten the raisins without fat! That would just be a waste of raisins. Don't be ridiculous!
