Goodbye, Chips and Salsa…

by

I should be blogging tonight about my fabulous vacation reward in the desert or about the delicious enchiladas I made the other night.

HOWEVER, I feel the need to make another confession….

I seriously can’t be trusted when I’m sitting in front of a basket of chips and salsa.  Tragically, I decided to order a side of chips and salsa tonight with my salad that ended up to be enormous. 

I’ve described chips and salsa/queso/guac before as “crack” and mexican restaurants in general as a “crackhouse.”   Like an addict, I told myself that I wouldn’t eat it all, and I told myself that I just wanted a few bites.  BUT, it tasted so delicious, and I ate way too many chips.  Now I just feel horrible.

My question:  Do I have to just eliminate Mexican food from my diet completely??  When will I be able to be able to sit down at a Mexican restaurant and not be tempted to devour the whole basket of chips and salsa??

For now, I’ve eaten my last chips and salsa for a long time.  Good news is the most recent batch of chips and salsa was delicious and not an icky stale chip variety.  i also get to go to the gym in the morning now, and not for one of those lackluster, halfass workouts.

Goodbye, chips and salsa…. hello, elliptical machine.  Sigh…

  7. […] Except for chips and salsa…  from what I can see from this side of things, that will always be your kryptonite. Your salty, tangy kryptonite… but if you’d have to pick one, that will do and it is a fierce challenge that you’ll face deliciously over and over again and learn from every time. […]
