Unleashing the Beast

Here's why I know I'll always be fat... I simply love eating too much to do it at a reasonable level. When I really want something I throw out all rational thought, basic reasoning, and decision making ability... Whether we're talking about food, sexual attraction, or consumer goods, my basic train of thought goes like this: "I want it... I need it... I must have it... I will do whatever I have to do to get it..."

I skipped lunch yesterday... I was planning on having a large meal that night to critique for my weekly LFFL review, so I put off eating in order to wet my appetite. As it turns out, that was a bad idea.

Everything went as planned until about 5 pm. That's when I went out to purchase the meal I was supposed to review. I had already set up the area I planned on using to photograph the food; I even laid out paper and a pen on a nearby table so I could take notes as I ate... but somewhere in between getting the food in my car and getting home, I lost control of myself.

As soon as the enticing aroma of the food met up with my neglected appetite, it was already too late. I devoured the food right there in the car, before I was even halfway home. I forgot about the pictures, the notes, the entire review process! I wasn't human, I was an animal.

So there is no LFFL this week... but next week should be pretty easy. My sangria post is basically ready to go, and luckily, I haven't forgotten the details of the sandwich I basically date-raped on the way home last night... so it should just be a matter of taking a couple of pictures to complete that review. I'll just have to keep in mind what an impulissive pig I am as I plan out my review day next week.
