This upcoming Thursday, I'll be heading to the Outer Banks to spend four days with a couple friends from college, along with a few people I haven't previously met. It's a little early in the season for the beach to be warm and inviting, but the house we're staying at has a hot tub (Score!!) Really, I'm excited to get way, spend time with people I haven't seen in forever, and just relax and have fun. The fact still remains, though...I'll be putting on a bathing suit for the first time this season.

Dun dun dunnn...

And, because I'm trying to be good about what I shove into my mouth, naturally all I want to eat lately is cookies, cupcakes, and all other things in these categories. But I haven't. I've had iron-clad willpower, even though sugary treats are all I can really think about.

Yesterday morning I got coffee at Starbucks and noticed they have a whole new line of treats: Starbucks Petites.

A few of the delicious-looking examples

And they are, in fact, "petite". For me these would all be maybe four bites, unless I was dared to eat one in one bite, in which case I can't back down from a challenge, and I could easily do it.

I was thinking that maybe I'd try one later on. I mean, how bad could they be? I'd certainly eat a mini peanut butter cupcake and it wouldn't make me feel guilty, right? 

But then I looked online to see what all they had, and the nutrition information made me gag a little.

(WARNING: If you don't want to know, quit reading now)

Almost 200 calories and 10 grams of fat in ONE MINI CUPCAKE!?

No thanks!!

Dear Starbucks: stick with coffee.
