They talk to me you know...

So - What happened the other day when I was trying so hard to be good -

We had a kick-off meeting when one of our key initiatives was launched. And to celebrate during the 2-hour meeting, there was a basket of muffins, scones and donuts. The best part, I was sitting right next to them. I could resist and pretend they were not there for awhile (while various team members were reaching for the goodies and commenting on how delicious they were)...

And then I heard the voices...

"Eat me....come on...I know you wanttttt too...."

I gulped. I could not breathe. I was breaking into a sweat.

I heard more voices...

"Eat us! Eat us! Lather us in raspberry jam...We know you loooveee raspberry jam..."

I bit my lip. Damn....one of these muffins would be the end of the entire 1,200 calorie diet. I had to resist. And I still had 90 minutes of the presentation to go...

Epilogue

I didn't make it.

Alas, I am a woman of flesh; with weaknesses and limitations that include (as you all know) chocolate, bananas, raspberries...I had half a banana chocolate-chunk muffin and it was sooooo good (tasting) but soooo bad! And perhaps I have another problem now too. I don't "see dead people" but I hear treats calling out to me.....

*sigh*
