I will not be exercising today, but like I mentioned in a
previous post my new spring/summer work schedule allows for plenty of gym time.
It feels good to be back in the routine and I am not letting anything get in my
way.
My boss had peanut butter and chocolate Easter eggs on her
desk to share with everyone. Walking by her desk on Monday I just grabbed one
without thinking. As soon as it touched my fingers my brain said “hey wait wtf
are you doing?!” So I quickly put the little candy in my pocket. For about thirty
minutes I argued with myself about how harmless one little piece of candy would
be. Finally I went in the bathroom to wash my hands and when I was done I put
the candy in the paper towels and smushed it as hard as I could and threw it in
the trash.
Would one little tiny piece of candy undo my whole day? No,
it was more of the mental factor that the candy would ruin. The little piece of
candy was my breaking the habit of just grabbing something with out
thinking. It was mind over matter that I
was working on with that little candy. Shit, I don’t even like peanut butter
that much!
Anyway I am proud of myself for smushing that stupid Easter
egg and wanted to share.
Totally understand what you're saying... One piece won't hurt but sometimes one can lead to more. And it shows how strong you are to be able to resist it! You should feel proud. :)
