I have no self control

5 October 2006 2 Comments

I’m on yet another “I must be healthier” kicks, although it’s really a “Oh my god, do I really spend that much money on sodas and junk food?” kicks. Ah, money. The great motivator.

So: the plan. No more Subway lunches. Only X amount of soda purchases per month. Only one weekly snack purchase.

You should already be laughing, especially at the soda one. What was I thinking?

Nevertheless, I was determined to do it.

Dinner last night? Was Chinese takeout. While I was out getting takeout? I bought a bag of chips. Which I just finished eating (freaking Kettle chips. They’re more addictive than caffeine). And I bought more soda, which would have been ok, except I drank more than my new daily allotment. Which means, come end of the month, I’m going to have to break my soda budget.

Sigh.

Five days. I couldn’t even stick to my budget for five freaking days.

Right: Starting tomorrow, I resolve…

*snort*

What’s wrong with Subway? That’s my definition of fast and healthy . . . you mean all the ads might be wrong??

Eh… it’s not that the food is exactly evil—it is better than most—it’s that I eat there because I’m too lazy to cook. It’s a freaking sandwich—surely I can make my own sandwich? I think it’s my attitude that bothers me, the fact that I think spending money at Subway is “ok” because “it’s healthy.”

Meh. There are worse things to blow my money on, I suppose, but I’m trying to be financially responsible here.

Or so I keep telling myself. And then Subway just got wrapped up in the same ball of wax with the sodas and junk food: more things that aren’t really going to kill me, but that I could do without.

Although I do love my sodas. Sigh.

Maybe I’m just a glutton for punishment.

Ha! Glutton. Subway. Food. Get it? Heee heeeeeeee.
