This afternoon was kind of hazy, because I hadn't had anything to eat since breakfast, so I was all floaty. I did some studying and a problem set that we have to discuss tomorrow in class. My roomie T came home with bagels. At this bagel place by our apartment, on the second Tuesday of the month, it is $5 dozen day, and you can get as many bagels as you want. So T had gotten one and half dozen bagels and was putting them in the freezer, and I felt myself getting jealous of her bagels. It was so weird, and I knew I was being stupid. But I really felt jealous when she started toasting one and put full fat cream cheese on it. I didn't actually want the bagels, but I think I felt jealous that she does have them, if I am making any sense at all, which I am pretty sure I'm not. Ok, so, she has the option of having a bagel; she has them in her possession. I don't even have the option of having one if I wanted one, which I don't really. I think it's the "food stalking" that Della talked about the other day. I just stare at the bagels, and think about eating them, and watch T eat one, and imagine the taste, and get jealous because I have none that I own. I am insane. But I knew that.
Anyways, I am about to spend $200 on a pair of boots.
The ones I want are the ones on the left, the brown leather. You can wear them unfolded and they go over the knee, or you can wear them folded down like in the center, and they will come just under the knee. I love them, but I am wondering if I should really buy them. They are so nice! And they would be so nice to wear when I go to London. I just am wary of buying shoes online, and they are a little expensive too, so it's unclear. It will be difficult to stop thinking about them, though, since I love them so much. Such a hard choice to make!Love you, Skinnies!

Oooooh, gorgeous boots! My psychic powers require rest between sessions, so I have no idea if you buy them or not--flip a coin? Heads = boots, tails = no boots?
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh, food jealously. How I know it well. I "eat" vicariously through my friends at lunch... I just stare at whatever they're eating until they get creeped out and/or stuff the food item into their mouths.

Shoe shopping...

stupid bagels! I definitely know what you mean... One time I was definitely eye-ing a friends dinner in a ridiculously possessive way.
I also like to have food in the house, even though I'm not going to eat it. Go figure.
Also: those boots are really hot.
Food jealousy. I can relate. And it's not even like I want to eat what someone else might be having . . . I don't know, it's hard to describe!
ReplyDeleteI really like the boots, and I too like the dark brown ones the most. :)
i say go for the boots, you only live once and hey, those boots wont EVER go out of fashion so they can be worn for years to come. its more of an investment item instead of a "spur of the moment only wear it once" kinda thing.
ReplyDeletebagels are the bane of my existence. i cant even walk downtown anymore because i can smell the local bakery and their delicious baked goods(including bagels grr).
stay strong

buy them ! think of it as all the money you saved from not buying bagels going to a better cause
ReplyDeleteI say gooooo for the boots! Maybe make it like a game- if you can lose 2 pounds then you can buy the boots? Like a trade!
ReplyDeleteps- TEXTING BUDDIES YESSS!
ReplyDeleteyour somewhat 'coerced' intake of the m&m's and chips and salsa is just like my situation with the cake today - i know the calories won't have much of an impact. but what i don't like about it is ruining the principle of setting out to only eat a certain amount or certain things.
ReplyDeleteand...you should get the boots! very nice.
Oh Sottile robbie is NOT prince charming. Damn I have totally turned him into the romantic hero here. And he's just some random boy who says and does nice things. Ugh. Lol! What can I say?
ReplyDeleteHaha $200 on a pair of boots? I say go for it! They're amazing. Good luck dodging the bagels. Don't worry. You're not failing. 600 cals is nothing. You can't have gone over too much. It's OK. Tomorrow will be better.
Stay strong, keep going! Don't give up!
