My last muffin...

That's it.. today is Diwali and one is supposed to thwart the thoughts, deeds and actions that would perpetuate negativity in one's mind and usher in the sounds and sights of love, light and laughter.. so what does that have to do with a muffin.. a lot really if you were in my shoes !!!

I have developed an unreasonable addiction to the Pumpkin chocolate chip muffin that they sell in our office cafetaria. It started as a once a week deal then got to every other day .. and now practically every day I need an excuse for a muffin.. but the catch is of late.. I hardly enjoy even the first bite.. Law of Diminishing returns as I learnt a long back in Economics.. and yet why do I go back for more.. HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA.. I know this for a fact that if I stop eating the muffins and continue on my new yoga regime, I will actually see some positive changes and yet I haven;t done so and that is really frustrating to me.

I feel full, bloated and have a sugar sweetness in my tongue that I have to brush off with the strongest mint tooth paste and yet I don';t seem to have the willpower to say NO.

Until now.. I know I am very proud of my spoken and written word, in the sense that I usually don't put things I don't mean in writing, so for me to have a confession in a blog is the first step to saying NO.... I will report back on this every week to hold myself accountable...
