Buying that big can of butter cookies was the biggest mistake I made this week... (so far. >:D)
Yesterday, I went to SM Muntinlupa (which is, by the way, just beside my office) in search of lunch. I came from a bank in San Pedro and instead of going straight to the office, I found myself parking my car in SM. (Hey, it was 12 noon, lunchtime. I was not cutting classes. Hahaha!) I got out of the car, after a bit of trouble with parking (Confession! Terrible at it.) Upon entering the mall, I went straight to the supermarket and just loitered around the chocolate drinks and munchies sections. I ended up buying puto seko and a can of butter cookies along with a single pack of Mrs. Fields' big, fudgy and sinfully chunky chocolate chip cookie. After paying for them, I had a sudden urge to buy fast food and McDonald's immediately came to my mind. Good thing it was way on the other end of the mall. I had time to battle my ridiculous urge to binge and was strong enough to get out of McDo after only a few peeks at the menu. Success! Hahaha! :) My health-conscious side took over and I ended up just buying fruit juice. I was quite happy with myself, being able to resist something that I didn't really need to eat. Little did I know that the contents of my supermarket plastic bag were a looming nightmare. I ate the chocolate chip cookie on my desk while watching some flicks on my laptop. (It was still lunchtime, ok? Hehehe...Guilty!) And I thought that was it. I was full.
And then...
Little by little, my hand started reaching for that can of butter cookies and it wouldn't stop the whole day! They were just so tasty! Hahaha! I gave in and decided not to worry about it, until I began to worry about it. Have you ever felt that?
So, anyway, now, while writing this blog, I'm still munching on a butter cookie. I swear, I swear! I will never buy butter cookies again!!! (til next month... :) )
*sigh* There are just some things in this world that are hard to control. If saying "no" to a cookie is already so difficult, imagine the insanity of choosing between issues that truly matter in life.
Food for thought! Mwah! :)
