Dear Taco Bell,
I love you from the depths of my soul. But I know you clog my arteries, and for that, I feel guilty.
I remember the first time I met you like it was yesterday…I was in third grade and we were on our way to my friend’s sister’s volleyball game. Her mom went through the drive through, I ordered a Mexican pizza and those little popsicle things you sold in the 90’s (bring ’em back!), and fell in love. Yes indeed, it was love at first taste.
I’ve been with you through all your trials and tribulations, like when you introduced one of my favorite menu items ever – 7-layer nachos (again, bring ’em back!) to some of the failures, like the bacon cheesy potato burrito. Blech.
Friends tell me you use cat meat, dog meat, oatmeal particles and the like to try to make me not addicted to you any longer. I believe them, and yet I still come back for more – knowing full well you only use 35 percent beef in your meat.
What’s wrong with me? I guess I am just a masochist for your cheesy, beany, meaty goodness. I love it all. Especially the nachos. And Mexican pizzas. And chicken quesadillas.
Alas, with this being the beginning of Lent and all, I’m making a promise to myself: To not eat Taco Bell for 40 days. It’s not that I eat it that often, but it definitely is my go-to spot when I’m on the road, and I know I eat it far too often than I should.
It’s not going to be easy, but I know I can do this.
Lord, keep me strong.

What is your #1 vice?
Written for Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop.
I’ve only eaten at Taco Bell a few times – ALWAYS with my friend, Bev. And I like it okay – hubby wouldn’t go near the place. Ever.
My vice: Diet Coke. I’ve given it up several times. For about a day each time.
Oooh, I love Diet Coke too, but try not to drink it often. I am such a sucker for pop…Or do you call it soda? Or just Coke? 😉
Ice cream is my biggest vice. And, well, anything with chocolate. It’s certainly not helping with the weight loss I am desperately trying to achieve!
I have been thinking for weeks about something to give up for lent, but didn’t decide on anything. Guess I’m just not strong enough!
Well, I’ve always heard not to ignore cravings too long – that results in over-indulgence. And you mentioning ice cream makes me want to go up to Baskin Robbins! I’m a sucker for the sweet stuff, too! All is good – as long as it’s in moderation, right? 😉
Good luck with Lent!!
My biggest vice – chocolate!
Yup, I hear ya! I would NEVER give up chocolate for Lent…I’m not that strong!
Oh darn you! I haven’t had Taco Bell in months but after reading this post… I NEED it!
So sorry – I was craving it x100 while writing this, too. Ugh, hopefully you caved – if only for me!
One of my guilty pleasures is to take myself to Burger King by myself and have a hamburger. No kids, no husband, just me myself and the king. Good luck with giving up the Taco Bell. kaye—the road goes ever ever on
Too funny. I understand – I think BK tastes SO much better than McD’s! Must be that flame-broiled action!
It I addicting….nothing better after a night out, even now, 11 years post college than a nachos belle grande. Dang, now I really want some t-bell.
You’re right – it definitely tastes amazing after a night out, and every time I eat it I feel like I’m in college again. Maybe this 40-day stint will help me grow-up a bit 😉
I think my husband has the same vice. He could live on Taco Bell and Arby’s.
My biggest vice is Coke.
Oooh, Arby’s is awesome too…It’s just not as close to me as Taco Bell! And yes, I love Coke too, so I try not to buy it so I’m tempted. The bubbly action gets me every time!
Good luck with TB! I don’t do really well with Lent…a lot of do overs and restarts but I do try hard. Gotta love a Mexican pizza! Sorry if that tempted you.
YUM! Temptation has been calling me for the past few days. I’m resisting and distracting myself with sweets instead 😉
I heart Taco Bell! I can’t get enough of it. So much so I have trouble figuring out what to order because I want it all. Good luck w/ giving it up for Lent!
