My Nemesis...

Postby Ivor » Tue May 20, 2008 3:13 pm

Damn you, family size pack of chocolate coated raisins.
Sitting there opened, spilling out onto the desk.
Just a mere fingers grasp away.
So more-ish....
First a couple, then a small handful... then a larger handful... then holding a handful and popping them in one at a time with the other hand.
and now, you're all gone.

oops.

There aren't any more, that's the problem.
One minute a full bag... the next an empty wrapper.

Yeah but how did they get on the desk in the first place?

You bought them didn't you?

So the weakness set in long before they got on the desk

The weakness set in when you couldn't pass the chocolate-coated raisin shop didn't it?

What's that you say? Someone else bought them for you? So its not your fault?

You're doomed Ivor, drowning in a pit of saccharin sweet chocolate coated raisins, doomed I tell you :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

hangs head in shame.

I know. I went on my afternoon fruit run and picked up my two bananas and apple.... and there was a bag just sitting there. I couldn't help it.

But it's ok, I thought, I'll just have a few and save the rest for tomorrow. Little did I realise just how cunning and sneaky a chocolate coated raisin can be.

I can read chocolate addicts like a book :D

I have the same problem with wine - "I'll just have 1 glass tonight and save the rest" then suddenly its all gone.

I've taught myself that if I don't go in the wine shop in the first place - no problem

Also work on a reward basis - allow yourself a bag of chocolate coated raisins once a week ONLY if you've had an excellent week in training - Paradoxically this can actually be a motivational tool which helps with weight management and improved performance on the bike

Ivor - you seem to be doing pretty well - only 3 chocolate raisin binges in 2 months (assuming you're posting all your chocolate-related indiscretions up here and not keeping quiet about the others).

I work within sniffing distance of Leather Lane market where for the princely sum of one pound I can toddle back to my desk with enough jaffa cakes (or nougat depending what's on offer) to keep me munching all afternoon.

My best attempt at willpower this year was when I went a whole lunchtime without buying anything unhealthy. :oops:

No way are they his only lapses Tamar, and even the ones he's letting on about are getting earlier in the day each time :lol: .

One of the advantages of working in the City is that everywhere is so expensive that it's easier to avoid the temptation, that and the Hung, Drawn, and Quartered gets my money :oops: .
