Chocolate Milk is my Gateway Food

Do you have a gateway food?  The one that you occasionally eat that isn't so bad, but then makes you feel as if you could eat another thing that is a little worse but still not french fries so it must be ok?
Well, chocolate milk is the one for me.
Today, after my workout, I went to the store to get more spinach for salads and smoothies.  Yay!
I saw the chocolate milk and thought about how my trainer said that would be a great after-exercise thing to drink to tide you over until you get some good food in your system.  Awesome!
I chose fat free so I wouldn't have that gnawing at me.
Uh, but then after lunch I was hungry and a veggie burger just sounded so good, so I had one of those for dinner with some grilled asparagus.  Not too bad.
But then, my chocolate monster was unleashed.  The leftover smores materials were calling my name!
Chocolate and toasted marshmallows?  Brilliant!
What about the +Skinny Cow Caramel Filled Chocolates sent to me for my bday by my bestie?  Eaten! (SUPER delicious, btw)
And since I felt as if my day was totally shot, why not eat handful upon handful of goldfish crackers?  Sounds like a great idea to me!

So, needless to say--Chocolate milk is my gateway drug food.

All that and I was still under 2,000 calories for the day!  Plus, with my workout, it made for a decent deficit.
One more day down.  I am disappointed I didn't last all week sticking strictly to my eating plan, though.  I can just try again tomorrow!
