Usually I crave sweets; so the other day in the grocery store, I picked up a 4-ct package of strawberry muffins without hesitation. However, when I got home and actually looked at the calorie count (400 per muffin!) I was disappointed in my choice. That's a third of what I'm trying to take in right now! I can't afford to eat these mamma jammas!!! I put them on the counter and tried to figure out who to give them to. But that's when the snowball effect started.
The very next day, just as I was contemplating what to eat for lunch---(let me interject that I was already hungry which is when I tend to make unhealthy choices)---I got a phone call to rush to meet someone on the other side of town. I didn't have time to make a salad or sandwich and I was WAY too hungry to wait. So I grabbed a muffin with the intention of eating it on the way. After about two or three bites, I just couldn't take it any more. It tasted so artificially sweet that my body didn't even want it. (Yay for small victories).
I learned two things: (1) my taste buds can be trained to serve my higher Self and (2) I must learn to plan my eating more carefully.
Now I just gotta figure out what to do with the rest of these muffins. I hate wasting money!
