Doodlehead's Journal, 24 Aug 10

My friend sent me a whole box of incredible chocolate covered strawberries. MY FAVORITE! Juicy ripe strawberries dipped in thick white and dark chocolate. OYE!!! She knows I've been busy and stressed and so her sweet heart just wanted me to take a break to enjoy. The only problem is I will eat that whole box. DH doesn't care for them so they would be all just for me.

I really tried to have them sit in the fridge, but all day I couldn't stop thinking about them. It's one of the top things on my all time favorites list, so I would have one, then wait and then have another, and wait, and try to avoid, which would only make me obsess more. I couldn't take it anymore, I wonder if this is what a drug addict feels like. Anyway, I had to do something to save myself so I decided to walk over to a couple of neighbors and they were MORE than happy to take this burden off of my shoulders. LOL! All gone within a matter of minutes. WHEW! Problem solved.

I felt a little guilty giving much of the gift away, but what I enjoyed the most was her sweet caring heart and so I will take in her intention as the real gift... and that is fat and calorie free.

I look forward to the day that I can say no to my very favorite things, or have them in moderation...I wonder if I will ever have that ability or if I will always have to treat it like a drug.

Time will tell.

I just realized how funny the last part sounded....If I am treating food like a drug....should I really be sharing drugs with my neighbors? HaHa!

I love friends (and family) very much, but their good intentions can sometimes really sabotage one’s attempts at self-improvement, bless them. Sometimes sharing is caring! Don’t feel guilty – a much nastier image is of you hiding in a dark broom cupboard scarffing down the entire box with a crazed look in your eyes! No, you did the right thing! Doodlehead! What do you mean you look forward to the day? By the sounds of this journal you’re there already because you had a little and shared the rest out and didn’t hide in the broom closet with the box of your favourite goodies and snarl & spit at anyone who came close! Fascinating image though…going to your neighbours with drugs. “Good morning Mrs Jones, care for a joint? They’re a little too high in calories for my liking and goes straight to my hips…”
