0317 * A 40-year-old defeated by a single cookie
I had a concert on the first Saturday of March, and I received some gifts from people who came to listen.
*Let me explain! I have been playing the clarinet for many years! When an acquaintance is performing in a concert, it is common to give gifts like flowers or sweets!
So, I gratefully received some incredibly delicious-looking cookies, and to make sure my gluttonous husband wouldn't eat them all, I was carefully eating them bit by bit at work.
Truth be told, I love cookies. I think big, thick, crispy cookies make people happy. Among store-bought ones, I love 'Chocolate & Coffee Biscuits,' but authentic cookies like the ones sold in department store basements are on a different level. By the way, the price level is also different.
The cookies I received were beyond reproach; they were truly delicious. Each one was very satisfying, and honestly, eating just one at a time was my limit...
Huh...?
Yesterday and today were my days off during the week, so I thought I would secretly bring them home to eat as a snack, but after eating a bento (seafood tempura bowl & pork miso soup) for lunch, I couldn't fit anything else in. Let alone a cookie.
Huh...?
This feels less like my stomach has gotten smaller and more like my stomach's strength is weakening...
Actually, there were times when even one cookie would almost give me heartburn.
I've seen it on X (formerly Twitter) so often, haven't I? 'Eat what you want while you're young. As you get older, you'll get heartburn and won't be able to eat it anymore.'...
I'm a foodie, so if there are incredibly delicious cookies, I want to eat three of them as a snack. Whether I eat a tempura bowl for lunch or have pork miso soup with it, snacks are a separate stomach. That's the kind of person I was. Or so I thought... *thud*.
To think I would be defeated by a single cookie. I don't want to admit it.
Hmm. They say the secret to health is to eat until you're 80% full. Well, I guess I'll let it slide... *I am properly stuffed from the tempura bowl.
By the way, I received this cookie. Choosing a cookie at a muffin shop is such a stylish choice!
