Every day there is a constant buffet of temptation in my world. Forty plus hours a week I dwell in the land of cookies, candies, and cakes...Oh My! You got 4 upgrades on one call!!! Here's a Snickers bar!! You got 100% on your Q.A.!!! Take this Reeses Peanut Butter Cup!! You successfully converted oxygen to carbon dioxide?!? Here's a doughnut! Keep up the great work! If you aren't being rewarded individually, then you are being rewarded for being part of a successful work week and DirecTv loves to buy lunch for everyone! It is a little easier on my days off...as long as I don't leave my apartment! Running errands turns into a hide and seek game against fast food restaurants and u-Swirl locations. I am sure I look like a crazy person in my car talking to the carrot stick on my right shoulder, urging me to stay the course and eat Subway for the 90th time that week, and the cheesecake on my left shoulder who, I must say, is rather convincing in its argument for "just taking one bite won't kill your diet or make you gain weight!"
Lately...I am sorry to admit that I have been listening more to the cheesecake on my shoulder than to the carrot stick! What can I say? The cheesecake is A LOT more fun and the carrot stick is a bit of a drag! Of course, as is always the case when listening to the wrong voice, I immediately feel disgusting after eating the food I know I shouldn't eat. How can something that tastes soo good, make me feel so horrible?!? I am starting to feel betrayed by "yummy" foods and their false advertisement of joy and merriment!! Why do I continue to make the wrong decision when it comes to food when I know that it does not give me the desired end result? Tomorrow starts a new week and a new day and I am sincerely hoping that I can stay on the path to 145lbs by September 23rd.
