Food Choices... Not One of My More Coherent Posts

February 17, 2009 – Nicole’s Food Log

Here’s my office pet peeve… We all know I make crappy, high calorie food choices… but the fun thing is that those are, well, MY choices.

What I dislike is eating food assigned by others.

For example, if I eat mac and cheese and it’s bad, that’s my decision and it sucks.

When other people choose food that I’m not a fan of, I get cranky on the grounds that I’m now going to eat a bunch of calories and not even get the joy associated with a yummy piece of pizza out of it.

The reason for this tangent is that I don’t (usually) like grocery store cake. So one of my coworker’s birthdays is tomorrow and I was going to make cupcakes. To which the boss apparently decided he wanted to order a real cake.

So I suggest a couple places where at least the odds of having something good (even if fattening) goes up and I get vetoed.

Now one can say “just don’t eat it,” but yeah right… good luck with that!

Same goes for events where the food is preordered… I don’t mind when there’s the “hospitality buffet” and there’s some level of picking and choosing, but when people just bring your plate in and announce “here’s what you’re eating.”

Sooooo not a fan.

Ok, back to being a spoiled brat now. :o)
