The local coffee shop I frequent has these brownies, plain chocolate brownies......they are delightfully sinful. Well, they're actually addictive but I was good yesterday, just a vanilla hazelnut iced coffee - (only flavoring, no sugar) AND I only stared at the brownies and daydreamed. Man, cold turkey on the good stuff is just a total letdown because the real reward of abstaining is the long term payoff but your instant gratification is just left to die in the sun. Your taste buds are screaming chocolate brownies and coffee are AWESOME! But then you walk out with no goodies and at the beginning being good doesn't feel so great......you really want to say screw all this and give me the good stuff but it's so habit forming you have to control it, uuuggghhh! Being Good and thinking ahead just really sucks sometimes!
