Constant Cravings
April 29th, 2009
My 12-minute mental dialogue from this morning’s commute:
Devil on Right Shoulder: Get in the right lane. Bojangles is a block away. Chicken biscuit. Now. CRAP, they don’t take debit cards. Oh yeah, forgot I have a 10-spot in my wallet.
Angel on Left Shoulder: It’s like 600 calories!
Devil: But I did workout last night. I sweated my ass off. And I’m hungry. And I don’t want stupid oatmeal again at the office!
Angel: 600 calories means no wine tonight.
Devil: Argh.
<Pass Bojangles>
Devil: Get in right lane. Golden arches approaching. Egg and cheese mcmuffin, not as enticing as a biscuit but still warm and good. Man, I really could go for a biscuit…
<Pass McDonalds>
Devil: Left lane NOW. Starbucks ahead. Latte and hot butter croissant.
Angel: That’s like 800 calories. You should’ve gone for the biscuit.
Devil: DAMN YOU!
<Pass Starbucks and pull into work>
So I got nothing. Except for the can of peach nehi hubby put in my purse. That counts as something, right?

Oh and if you are able to make it to SC for the candlelight, we will allow you your one mile poo break. We can map it out and stuff.

Way to go! Plus, all of that mental anguish had to burn a few extra calories.

Some days those things come at you a whole lot more and a whole lot stronger than others. I had one of those last week after a week of eating off plan. That first day back was a tough one! I was so sensitive and aware of all the tempations. Way to go on passing them all up.

Can you use blinders? The Kentucky Derby is tomorrow. Maybe I can get some of them for you. Oh, you need some earplugs to shut the devil up. Glad you listened to the angel, girl. GOOD FOR YOU! You deserve to make your goal.
