Donuts. Donuts. Donuts. I wonder if they have anything to do with my current weight challenges? As you can see from the pictures, even my granddaughter made me a "Donut Trophy", and my grandson wasn't even a year old and yet knew to bring Pop Pop, donuts for his birthday!
Times have changed. July 1st I start prepping for my MOVE program that starts on July 15th. Part of that preparation including getting Sodas out of my life. Sigh. Then tea (because I can't stand honey, or sweeteners other than Sugar), and of course....donuts.
So tomorrow I go to the Donut Inn and buy my last donuts. We have decided that I can only have donuts for my Birthday, and Christmas. Luckily the Donut Inn does make three of my favorite donuts...and they have chocolate milk.
It will be a bitter sweet day for me. One part of me can't wait to get healthy again, the other ...well, will miss donuts. One time I took my Best friend Ed out for donuts. I knew a bakery that made really really good donuts near where he lived. He had never been there. We bought a dozen. Figuring he would eat one or two, and take some home to his wife.
Well, we got to chatting and talking bout old times, and it turns out, Ed ate six by himself, and I ate the other six over a period of about four hours. He was caught completely by surprise. He never weighed more than 145 pounds in his whole life. Meanwhile I had sailed past 200 years ago. He looked at the empty box, and then at me.
"What am I going to tell my wife? She thinks she is getting two donuts."
I laughed. We went back and got another half dozen. His wife ate two after supper, and we ate the rest.
The next day he called me:
"Kev, I love you like a brother. But you are never to buy me donuts ever again. And I will not go with you if you go to a bakery. I pooped a jelly roll!"
And he kept his promise. We never ate donuts again. He stayed under 145 pounds...and I went further North from 200 pounds.
Farewell donuts, I shall miss you.

Fortunately, even with my lifelong addictive personality,alcohol,nicotine,gambling,chocolate chip ice cream,donuts were never a must have item,although the best tasting donuts I ever ate,were the two we were allowed in the sixth week of Basic, Ft.Lewis 1965,Welcome Home Brothers.

LMAO ~~ KEVIN ?
Don't Quit Now, Not While You're Ahead Of The Game,
But If It Took You 4 Hours To Eat 6 Donuts, Ya Need A LOT More Practice.
We (My 3 brothers & I) Owned A Donut Shop On The Corners Of Standard & McFadden,
In Santa Ana California. Named It "The Donut Hole" ~ As Did 1,000's Of Others.
But Mike Made The Absolute BEST Chocolate Éclair's .. The" How's & Why's"? We Could Never Figure Them Out, But Neither Could He; Mike Just Had What's Called "The Right Touch". Only Mike & Ian Worked There Because It Was A Business Ian Thought Would Be Fun, And The Money Came From An Account We'd All Been Tossing Money Into For A "Just In Case" Situation, But Never Needed.
