Staggolee41 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Well, a week after my Whole30 ended, I forgot my protein, so I had to go to the store on my lunch to get some protein. While I was standing at the deli counter waiting for my prosciutto to be sliced, that superpower-style sense of smell I remember from Week 1 kicked back in. I could smell the M'n'M cookies. From 15 feet away. While they were still in their packages. Now, Whole30-style Staggolee doesn't usually shop while hungry. I eat a meal and then go to the store, which wasn't really intentional (for the purpose of avoiding cravings, anyway). Here I was... stupid hungry... and shopping. Which was enough to resurrect the Sugar Dragon. I was so mad! I thought I'd killed it! How dare it come back to life! Now I wanted a cookie, and worse, I could totally have one, because my Whole30 was complete! I thought about it, and I decided to teach the Sugar Dragon a lesson. I found a box of cookies that were on sale and freshly baked. I bought them. I marched my sugar-loving rear end back to work. I opened the box, and... I handed them out, one by one, to my team and neighboring teams. I didn't eat ONE. Cookies are okay - though not in any way ideal - to have when it's not in response to a craving, but I clearly can't handle it right now, and so they can be okay for other people to eat, but I will NOT do it. And now... I'm starving... so I'm going to eat my Greek salad and prosciutto and enjoy the heck outta both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnski55 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 wow!! Way to go! I shall remember this post when my sugar dragon raises its head. I am being realistic here - I think my sugar dragon will only ever be in some kind of coma and will be raised back to life when sugar is around However - I shall take the cookies, or cake or ice-cream and bop the dragon on the head with them!
