I have discovered a source of my inability to refrain from eating my weight in chocolate...my mother. The afore mentioned snake in the grass called me this evening,
"Do you want anything from the store for dessert?", she taunted.
"No thanks", I replied through gritted teeth.
"Are you sure?" I could feel my resistance fading.
"No thank you. I am abstaining", I replied with as much resolve as I could muster.
"Well thanks, now you make me feel bad".
WHAT?? Now I have to eat to make her feel better??? Then she whines when her jeans don't fit and she wonders why we are overweight. Perhaps we are both the enablers? Snakes in the grass waiting to lure each other to the forbidden fruit, or in this case, the forbidden chocolate cake.
P.S. Special K for breakfast and lunch is unbelievably boring, but at least they have a chocolate flavor.
