I love walking around health food stores and checking out all the goods. I can spend hours in places like WF or my local Mom’s Organic Market. I can also spend way too much money on all that good stuff!!
I scored a nice sample of granola while walking around the store… It was so good I really considered buying it, but then I remembered that granola can be dangerous in my house.
Before I went bankrupt, I mean – to MOM’s, I ate almond butter on whole wheat with yogurt and blubes. 
The blueberries I bought from Costco are majorly sour and not good. Boo. I really don’t want to eat them, but I hate to just throw them away.
The rest of the day was very random and I snacked a lot. The highlights of the day included some of Ben’s Chik-fil-A fries…
And a chocolate chip cookie I got from the health food store. Yes, fries and cookies – it was one of those days and I don’t want to discuss…
When I was vegan I would go to health food stores seeking vegan sweets like this all the time. I think I was trying to fill a void with these desserts and justified eating them since they were vegan.
Now I realize vegan treats have as many calories and fat as “normal” desserts – but they are made with better ingredients and super yummy 🙂
I have the same issues when i go to fun health stores. Whole Foods is dangerous!
Maybe you could use the blueberries in homemade granola bars or smoothies.
I spend hours in pretty much any grocery store, but WF and my local Plum Market really get the best of me. Since starting my blog I tend to buy different things, which many times are more expensive than what I would regularly buy. I guess my priorities have changed 🙂
Not to encourage but you must try the vegan chocolate chip scone from whole foods. ridick.
Those chick-fil-a fries are so dang good. I’ve also been seeing those cookies a lot lately – they look and sound delicious! 🙂
I know what you mean about not wanting to waste the sour blueberries. I put some sour strawberries (not knowing they were sour) in my oatmeal yesterday morning; and it was almost inedible!
I used to be that way about granola and cereal. Since they were “healthy” I’d eat as much as I wanted! Too bad that isn’t true…..
ive come to realize that granola and cereal cannot be in my house.. anytime i buy it .. im like “okay one serving at a time” once the box is opened .. ah forget it .. its gone in a day
those cookies are too good. can’t help but want to make excuses to eat them all the time; such better ingredients to boot!
I hope today is a great day for you Monica!
Your day sounds VERY similar to mine— but mine was french fries, snickers, and brownies. AHHH So frustrating to always be starting back at square one! Thanks for discussing it without discussing it to know I’m not alone 🙁
I loove blueberries I can’t wait until they’re back in season, they’re seriously all i eat in the summer, maybe you could make something out of the blooobs since they’re not that great?
You know you can take the berries back to Costco. I’ve done it before, and I know it sounds petty but sometimes I think, why should I force myself to eat something awful? You can do that with most any grocery store.
I absolutely love ABC cookies… and Chick Fil A fries!
I remember when the fat free craze was all the rage back in the 90’s. I would eat tons of those Snack Wells cookies and fat free Fig Newtons and wonder why I couldn’t lose weight. 🙂
When fruit is not sweet enough for me, I like to cook it up to bring out the natural sugars.
I worry about it when I have those days where I just eat lots of junk but now I trust myself to feel gross the next day and be eager to get back on track.
oh the “halo effect” it gets the best of us. way to recognize it. i seriously get so impressed with your objectivity over these things 🙂
bummer about the blueberries. i’m the same way and probably wouldn’t have thrown them out either. i’ve actually drank spoiled milk before for fear of “wasting it” oh silly me!
I use the vegan excuse a good amount, too. I also love the “it’s raw” excuse, even though raw foodies NEVER shy on the agave nectar and nuts 🙂
