The taste bud is out to destroy us all

[Lobster Roll]

It's a holiday, and with that comes the over-indulgence. Specifically, though, is the eternal ricocheting between salty and sweet.

Salty
Sweet
Salty
Sweet
Feeling extremely full, but craving salty
Salty
Sweet
Ok I'm in physical pain now
Salty
Sweet
Emergency teeth brushing as a last-ditch stopgap

It's seriously maddening how the brain just propels the body to offset those two flavors until bedtime. I can normally do a good job of curtailing my taste buds' efforts ... but the holidays. The damn holidays. I am powerless around all of these snacks and desserts. My body is a temple and it's been fucking wrecked by a hurricane. Merry Christmas everyone, and god have mercy on my toilet's soul tomorrow.

It's all about umami.

Just eat small portions and you'll be alright. Though I didn't eat anything different than normal since I just sat at my house all week.

I did small portions but there were like 20 fucking different things. I'm pretty sure I won't be hungry tomorrow until well past lunch.

I ate so much yesterday, Jesus fucking Christ

Why

Just why

The small portions are what are killing me right now haha ... it's like "oh a handful of this" or "just one cookie more won't hurt".

Truffles. So many rich, sugary truffles.

COVID will save you from the tyranny of the taste bud.

Every single year I complain about the quantity of food and all the incredibly unhealthy leftovers that last up to a week. And every year it happens again. It's one of the reasons why I really don't like Christmas.

I put on 3 lbs in the last three days and I guarantee I'm gonna leave half that in the toilet the coming days

But hey, it's been a shit year so I let myself just do it for a couple days. All cravings satisfied, no worries had.
