There are a few perks to being single (and by few, I do mean very few). But I did discover a new one tonight..

I've always had an appetite but here lately it has grown by leaps and bounds.  

The only link that I can find between the two is that I started eating breakfast.

I've never been a big fan of breakfast.  I'm not much of a morning person, I really hate to get up early, I'd rather sleep the extra 10 min. it takes to make something, and who is hungry that early in the morning anyways?!

Well, my lunch time is pretty late (well, for me that is!) and I was nearly dying by the time I actually got to lunch so I had to cave-I just couldn't go without breakfast any longer.

So now that I eat it, I've found a newly discovered appetite I never knew I had.  And an extremely large one at that! And lets not talk about the few pounds that are coming with this new appetite either! 

So back to my story..

I made the grave mistake of going to the grocery store hungry tonight. For the sake of my face, I'm trying to eat healthy.  I normally always do, but I'm talking extremely healthy.  As in, I only drink water and snacks have to be fruit and veggies. Good rule of thumb, but I have absolutely no self control these days when it comes to eating.

I mean, lets be honest..I've never been a big chocolate fan, and I nearly salivate at the mouth now just thinking about it.  

So I'm strolling around Publix..first up, fruits and vegetables.  And then I spot it ...the bakery.  It is right smack dab in the middle of the fruits and vegetables therefore making it impossible to dodge. So I strolled, right on over to the king cakes that is.  And there it was-an extra large king cake (with extra icing I might add) for a whopping $5.  I mean, all of this yummy goodness for $5 people! What a steal! Or, there was the grapefruit.. for $3.  I mean, is that even a question? What kind of a decision is that? Without any further ado, the king cake it was.

But at that moment, it occurred to me-I'm single, really single.  I mean, I'm going home to eat a whole cake all by myself an no one (and I do mean no one) could tell me differently.  I have no one holding me accountable.  Now, some days it indeed would be nice to have someone telling me that I didn't need that cake.  But some nights (and I do just mean some nights), it's nice to be able to eat cake...and not grapefruit.

So there you have it.  After this post and my posts from last year around this time, I'm sure you all know by now just how much I absolutely hate February 14th and haven't stepped foot into a Wal-Mart since Christmas due to that fact.  So here's to Singles Awareness Day (and maybe eating all the chocolate that you want!).  Please just put a bag over my face until then!

P.S. The fact that I just sat here and blogged about food at the grocery store, might make this the most pathetic post I've ever published.
