In the afternoon, decided to go to Pike Place Market to just walk around a bit. Then stopped at Whole Foods on way home for salad bar. All on plan. But at checkout stand bought small pkg of shortbread cookies which I ate. Then decided to have a cup of coffee, a cinnamon roll (?) and another shortbread cookie at the coffee bar. Was wondering why I had the cinnamon roll because it was not really that satisfying. Then later in the evening was really on a "prowl". Really wanted another piece of the chocolate pie at Honey Bear, but they were all out. Stopped at Safeway and would likely have purchased a chocolate pie if they had any available, but did not. Thought seriously about a slice of carrot cake or a piece of "de luche" something cake, finally talked myself into just a rainbow m&m chip cookie, but saw a new item in the donut case - a waffle so added that to my list.
Ate less than half the waffle as it was really quite dense but did finish off the cookies. Still not satisfied. What I really wanted was a hamburger from The Hamilton. So decided that since that is what had been on my mind all along, I was probably going to get one later in the week so decided that I might as well get it now. Did so, and that was what I was really craving. The hamburger was very satisfying. Should have gotten it in the first place and just skipped all the pastries!
This is probably a better strategy for next time. All the pastry stuff was just disembling for what I really wanted which was the hamburger. Did not really enjoy the pastries, did not find them satisfying and they just added to my guilt. Wonder why I have to do things this way. Note that the hamburger came with fries and I ate only one fry! Composted the rest.
Suspect I will see the results of all this in the am blood sugar readings tomorrow.
