A Snackbar Named Desire

A Snackbar Named Desire

I had a great time at after prom. Lights, prizes, and an all you can eat snackbar.

I really do try, I try not to overindulge or even do much snacking. But there is something within me, within everyone, desire.

There are very few people with the power to resist their favorite foods. I have seen even the strongest fall into a culinary temptation. Something about those foods, the way they sit right outside your vision and call your name. They must be stopped.

Other than when being hungry, people eat when they are bored, socializing, thinking hard, sad, and nervous. Food, because of its availability and simplicty, comes to the mind as a temporary cure. It is only temporary and soon you will be wanting more. Many people nowadays try to watch what they eat and are well aware of the consequenses of overindulgence. They want to stop the food that calls them. These foods, they must be stopped.

I don't have much room to speak on this topic because I am generally a victim, but I can put in my two cents. The desire is all in your mind. The best way to stop it is to say no. Yep thats it, just say no. As an alternative having a healthy snack, like a banana or yogurt, would help too. Its the awareness that helps. Being able to recognize that you are in that situation is the only way out.

So lets rise up and stop this tyrant. Don't let it consume you, don't consume it.
