Night Owl Will Power
Actually, it should be "won't" power.
I had been soooo good, until today. All of this talk of doughnuts and fresh bread. Ugh!
I loaded up the grocery cart with beautiful veggies and fresh fruit. Then had to make a trek through the middle of the store to the juice boxes (for Em's b-day party). I could smell them. Fresh loaves of french bread that they had just taken out of the oven to slather with garlic butter for tonight's dinner crowd.
I couldn't stop the cart. It headed straight over there, dragging me with it. I sniffed the air as the yeasty aroma wafted over the department. I turned the cart away from the fresh baked bread, and BAM! There were the doughnuts. I couldn't stand it, I caved in and I bought one. A puffy raised lovely, slathered in maple glaze. They didn't have any with sprinkles, or I would have had to get one of those.
I watched the parade of vibrant fruits and veggies march towards the checker on the conveyer belt as I unloaded my cart. Then there was the bag with the lone doughnut bringing up the rear. As she was checking the produce she commented on the variety and I said we were trying to change our diet to contain more fruits & veggies since we felt better when we ate that way. Then came the Maple Monster. She looked at the doughnut and then at me. I'm sure my face went a bit pink. She said "Honey, if a single doughnut is all it takes to keep eating right the rest of the time, ain't nobody gonna hear about it from me!" I told her I bet she saw all kinds of combinations come through her register. To which she laughed and said she could write a book!
So, when your "Won't Power" fades, is there a "go-to" item that you choose, or is it triggered by the power of suggestion?
I have also found that this lovely group of forum friends doesn't just enable fabric addictions, but I still love each and every one of you! Doughnut eating goat photos and all!
