Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

My body’s thermostat is off.

I’m in pgh. It’s 34 outside but feels the same as 50 in FL

Humidity and windchill come into play. I have been colder at 40 above vs 0 based on those.

It must be humidity then bc it’s currently windier in pgh that it was this morning in fl I had no idea humidity could make such a difference

Wet cold weather sucks. It gets into your bones. Showers are the only way I know to reset core temps

Yep… Shanghai winters…
I guess I underestimated how dry pissburgh is

@SkyzykS apparently it’s supposed to get up to 39 next Thursday… wtf?

I confess I’ve eaten two of these fellows in just as many days

I had the pictured chocolate one and a cinnamon one.

They, of course, look nothing like the photo, and are Poptart-adjacent. This is, apparently, how I celebrate days off.

I also don’t think I’ve had any water in 2 days…

Are they in fact “Tasty” as the packaging claims? They look not very good.

You shoulda been here yesterday!

Your guess is as good as mine. :man_shrugging:

I haven’t really paid attention to weather reports in years.

So it’s a sliding scale. Marty Gallagher actually talks about this in “Purposeful Primitive”.

I am SO deprived of sweets and goodies that, to me, they taste AMAZING. Protein bars, in general, are my “cheat food”. I have one a day that I cut into 3 pieces to snack on at work.

But there’s no way anyone would pick one of these over a real poptart if taste is the concern…and when we consider that a poptart itself is a garbage tier pastry…

What’s been compelling me is the warmth. The warm filling is comforting on these winter days.

I both completely agree and am offended by this sentiment.

Dude, I eat them by the boxfull at strongman competitions, haha. But my trash roots run deep. I’m a cheap date. I still take my kid out to the Golden Corral during our “Daddy and Me” time, much to my wife’s chagrin.

Somehow looking at that makes me crave donuts

They saw you coming!

I remember looking at this and realizing there was enough fake sugar in it to make all by the heartiest of guts rupture.

I used to eat these, they’re pretty good. The snickerdoodle ones are my favorite.

More brilliant marketing, haha. We are all such suckers…

These are really good

You and I exist on differing ends of the taste spectrum, as we keep rediscovering, haha.

I confess I went and bought cheese even though it’s expensive and unnecessary. I will now be eating said cheese as a preworkout

Keep in mind I’ve not had a real doughnut in over a decade. I have forgotten what they taste like

With that said, if I think hard enough I can still taste cheesecake

Been recovering from Covid and pitty eating. On Monday or Tuesday, I ate 17 Krispy Kreme donuts and lost 1.2 lbs. Yesterday I ate 15 and lost 1.4 lbs. I’m contemplating adding in a couple of donut days a week to see if I hit my goal weight or develop diabetes first.
