Addiction

Blog 17 …

Pastries are always the instant pleasurable snack I could blame for pleasing the mouth-watering desires of my palate.  When I know that they are in the fridge or in the pantry, my brain lights up and dances … always!  It calls me incessantly to grab one little piece, but you and I know that a piece doesn’t usually gratify well!  Reaching for a second and a third bite-piece becomes the more enjoyable, quicker and more delightful act of satisfying the craving, stomach-hungry or not!  I have tried over and again to tell myself, NO to pastries.  I even remind NEVER to pick up any of the inviting, gouging breads, cakes and pies when walking the designated bread/pastry food store aisles or confectionery shops.  I also try to trick the glutton-trigger of my brain and tell it … scold it … of how many miles I’d walk for consuming a muffin, a cupcake a pie slice.  Anyway, I’d just break away loose from all of those juggling, conflicting thoughts. There are times turning away from tempting food items, pastries in my case, hardly works!  It’s addiction, I think.
