stacking chocolates in the fridge heading to the kitchen to grate cheese for a pasta sauce while the cake baked in the oven is bliss drooling over the scene that would follow on the dining table I check my phone and am deflated instantly It is the diet app sending notifications I can’t have anything more than cabbage soup and apples today The scales in the corner wink at me I think I will slay it with my ample weight one fine day and rule the world not ramps

I would get rid of that app… The next step is that it actually connects to your shopping list and sends a message to your insurance company increasing the rate for every bar of sweet.

I’ve had to change my diet over the past four years. I can still have chocolate (in the form of unsweetened cacao dissolved in coffee). So there is something to be thankful for.

Now I can’t get the food out of my head 🙂 I love the change from exuberant and unbridled to reminded and on to a plot.
