On yet another day, you decide that you will consciously keep a watch on the food that you eat and make sure that at least by this month end, you reduce a few kilos. With the oath taken for nth time in the past few months, you go to the food court to have lunch with your friends. Your friend says she is going to have an ice cream and looks at you. You tell her that you won’t have ice cream and she laughs knowing very well about how strong you are in sticking to your ‘diet’. You go along with her and on seeing the different flavours of ice cream and thinking about how delicious they taste, you fight hard to control your temptation. To add to it, you see someone buying a large Sundae. That’s it! All oath forgotten and not caring the least about your friend laughing at you (after all, seeing this happen has become a habit now 😉 ), you get just a single scoop of ice cream. But, does it end there? The man at the counter asks, ‘Toppings?’ and on hearing him tell the list of toppings he has, you can’t control the temptation at all and end up eating a nice butterscotch ice cream with a butterscotch topping with the feeling of guilt pushed to the back of your mind! Yummy! 😀
Once the ice cream gets over, you decide that at least from now on, you will stick to your ‘diet’. But, next week, again the same story continues. 🙂
P.S.: Was wondering what post to write next when reading Gayathri’s post made me realize that I too have a similar story to tell. 😉
