My last weight loss journey

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

I’ve been working on this most of my adult life.

My last weight loss journey: dreams, marshmallow pie

One post, awhile back, was about me dreaming about fries. All I wanted was an order of fries. Could being on a diet cause these dreams about food?

Hot on the heals of that dream I dreamed about marshmallow pies. Though, I haven’t eaten one in years.

In this dream, a friend of mine we’re going to a store. None descript store in anywhere dream town. He’s talking about how wonderful these marshmallow pies are with peppermint. I’m intrigued. My friend (in real life) knows a lot about what snacks and combinations of snacks work to knock your socks off. So when he says these marshmallow pies and peppermint are a great combination, I’m up for trying.

In my dream, we split up. And he never returns. Who knows why. But at this point, I’m having one of those pies and some peppermint.

I hunt this store over for those marshmallow pies. Past purses and shoes. Through toys and tools. Around clothes and housewares. But for whatever reason, I can’t seem to make it to food. Let alone the snack aisle.

Where could these stupid pies be? Did they stop making them? The longer I look, the more frantic I become. I WANT those pies. The peppermint has long since been forgotten. Just PIES!

Nowhere. They are nowhere.

Out of frustration, I ask a sales clerk where are those stupid little pies? She takes me to a shelf covered with returns? Or junk? Or both? Digs deep in one of the shelves pulling out a crushed box of marshmallow pies. The holy grail. The light at the end of the tunnel. CHRISTMAS! I don’t wait for my friend. I don’t even wait to pay for the box of crumbs. One pie. One whole pie is all I really want. I tare into the box. And like the prize from a box of Cracker Jacks, there it was. One whole pie. Upon finding my prize, I sit on the cold polished concrete floor and devour my prize.

How much?
