This is surprising for me, since I tend to eat everything in sight with reckless abandon. I don't think about how I will feel afterwards, and I don't stop until it is too late. I think this is because I do not have any willpower when it comes to food (or spending money, or most things, really). My friend Jeff disagreed, "You have plenty of will�power, Justin. You just don't have any won't�power." Hm. He may have a point there. I think the reality is that the only reason I am not eating the last bit of Chex Mix is that it no longer registers as food in my mind. It is more a piece of furniture�an office accessory.
I think that the last piece of Chex Mix Manna has shifted�graduated�to this parallel, semi�food dimension. It rests on a glorious, radiant throne, next to other protected non�edibles such as paint, rocks, tires, cranes, and buckets. Hm. But, if the Chex bit is not food in my mind, then I guess I should not be proud of my restraint. It requires no restraint to avoid eating something which is not food. Sigh. So much for patting myself on the back. PREVIOUS ENTRY - NEXT ENTRY |
