I Do Not Eat Donuts

We met a couple of new friends in downtown Seattle this afternoon. Lunch was extremely filling, but that didn’t stop us from getting sucked into a nearby Top Pot establishment – makers of fine donuts and other tasty pastries.

At first, I thought I could resist temptation. Then they told us that every one of their products was trans-fat free. Whoa! I was under the assumption that Mighty-O was the only donuttery in town that avoided hydrogenated oils.

One small bite turned into… eating the whole dang donut. It was covered with granulated sugar, and I knew I was taking in 1/3 of my daily calorie allotment (2,000 a day). Still, I couldn’t stop myself. I’m paying the price now, of course – feeling somewhat lethargic in the early evening hours.

At least sleeping would keep me from eating any more today! I felt guilty, so I tweeted my crime. Friends responded:

aaronmccall: Do you ever get by Mighty O? I hear they have organic donuts.
