The path that ROCKS!!

The other day I got in a fight with myself.

It went something like this:

Me: "I reeeeally want to eat those chips with my healthy turkey sandwich."

Me: "Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of your healthy sandwich?"

Me: "You're right. No chips with my lunch. But nothing else sounds as good."

Me: "Have a cheese stick and some frozen grapes."

Me: (Sigh) "Fine. But I'm not happy about it."

Me: "Good girl. Your figure will thank you later."

Me: "Shut up."

~Later that night~

Me: "I'm hungry."

Me: "It's 9:30pm...you shouldn't eat anything."

Me: "You know what! I worked out and ate healthy all day, I deserve it!"

Me: "How bout some frozen grapes?"

Me: "You bet! Right after I have a bowl of chips."

Me: "You'll pay for that tomorrow."

Me: "Again...shut up."

(I sure showed me who was boss!)

I was reminded of my fight with myself as I sit here eating frozen grapes.

I usually don't eat anything after 8pm but I won that fight tonight too.

The fights I get into with myself don't always have to do with food.

Dishes, laundry, cleaning, cooking...just to name a few.

I wonder if I will ever be able to control myself.

I mean, you see how stubborn I am?

I don't even stand a chance!

It's like Kronk from the Emperor's New Groove.

I have a little devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other.

"Don't listen to that guy. He's trying to lead you down the path of righteousness.

I'm gonna lead you down the path that rocks!"

Yes, that's how I feel.

Sometimes I just want to cut loose and be rebelious!

Well, in my own way....

Chips or grapes?

Clean or messy?

Nutritious meal for dinner or cold cereal?

Sometimes I'm just gonna eat the chips!

Let the house be messy or have cold cereal for dinner.

I might even do all 3 in the same day!

Which, of course, means the following day I will be working out harder,

cleaning longer and have to buy more cereal for consuming at breakfast.

Maybe I'll just stick with grapes.

Stupid.
