FORBIDDEN FRUIT

iM going to treat you to a glimpse into the inner workings of my twisted brain. You may look away or come back again on another day if you choose to.

Pepsi, Pepsi, Pepsi.....ahhhhhhh
I cant live with it.
I cant live without it.

But seriously folks,
I know whats good for me. I also know how my mind operates.
This is what I know.
If I tell myself that something is 'forbidden'; that its no longer an option, that its hands off forever, something in my brain, some mechanism, goes off, and shouts- "NOBODY'S GUNNA TELL ME WHAT I CAN OR CANNOT DO!!!" (even when its just me do'in the tell'in)
I've been treating Pepsi as the 'forbidden fruit.'
Im also admitting to still acting like a rebellious teenager.
So Im formulating a new plan. Actually its been in play now for a while. Unbeknownst to my family.

STEP ONE

Dont make Pepsi the FORBIDDEN fruit.


STEP TWO

Be smart. Understand why Pepsi has its drawbacks. Admit to those drawbacks.


STEP THREE

Agency!!!


STEP FOUR

Decide that its ok to drink Pepsi when I like. Remember moderation.


STEP FIVE

Remember that there truly are 'forbidden fruits' in the world, and that they cannot be messed with!! CANNOT, WILL NOT. ie- drugs; men-other than my Builder whom Im blissfully married to; acholol;and porn!!! I am completely comfortable in NOT 'dabbling' in those regions!!! (there is no teenage rebellion there!!!)

So there you have it-My five step plan on justifying my Pepsi love.

What d'ya think?
