Day 11: Chocolate Long Johns

 My favorite doughnut in the entire world is a Chocolate Long John with sprinkles on top.  Sometimes just thinking about one makes my mouth water.  Today, one of my co-workers thinking that she was being thoughtful on this dreary day brought a box of freshly baked doughnuts right from the best bakery in town.  Right in the middle of the box was a sprinkled chocolate long john.  I contemplated in my head what I should do.  The easy choice would be to just walk away.  The choice I made the first three times I walked into the lounge.  The fourth time I remembered a conversation that I had over break with a group of friends.  One of them said, “If you are truly craving something.  You should have three bites of it and savor every moment.”  This is exactly what I did.  The craving went away and I did not ruin my healthy eating plan for the day on a silly doughnut!
