I succumb to temptation

Saturday night, OmegaDad snuck into my office, opened up a plastic bag from the local grocery store, and showed me the bag of miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups that was inside. “These were on sale–half off! Hide this!” he commanded. So I slid it into the drawer to the left of my computer.
The plan was, of course, that he and I could share it, and it would be safe from the dotter.
In the picture above, you see the reality of things. OmegaDad should be a pusher. I can see him now, dressed in a trenchcoat, leaning against an alley wall…as I walk by, he hisses, “Pssst! Hey, there. Want some cho-co-late, little girl?!”
The only thing that makes me feel better about this is that a serving size for these little diet busters is five pieces. So, in reality, this is only two servings. Only 440 calories–the majority of which come from fat.
And there is still one left in the bag.
Really.
And it will still be there tomorrow.
Really.
What am I doing? Oh, I’m just going to get my coat and car keys. Why? Oh, no real reason. Oh, no, I’m not driving off to the grocery store for more Reese’s. No, no, no! Not at all! Perish the thought!
