Big mistake was made yesterday! I have been eating "clean," which basically means whole and unprocessed foods, for several months now. Well, I had a lil bit of a craving for crack, a.k.a. SWEETS...so I asked around my office. Know and behold, a co-worker came to the rescue. She provided me with a few slices of sugar dipped mango strips. I thought it would be awesome and I was so grateful the idea of sharing taught in kindergarten, remains alive. I ate those three pieces and savored it, for all of 30 seconds. Let me break it down really quickly. I have not ate sugar in almost 3 months, so this foreign substance taking a tour in my body, was definitely not welcomed. Almost instantly, I cramped up and felt like I needed to "throw out!" Throw out is my meaning for upchuck, spew, barf...you get the point.
Another lovely co-worker that sits in the Hollywood Square next to me (also referred to as a cubicle) started in on me. He reminded me of everything I have been talking about for the last few months. He shook his head at me, in obvious disdain, then proceeded to lecture me about the negative effects it will have on my body. I told him it was a mistake, to which he replied, "it was a choice, not a mistake." A poor choice at that, I acknowledged.
Moral of the story: stick to what you share with others. I have been trying to help him keep afloat with his food decisions and there I was, giving in to a few sticks of sugar. The repercussion of that decision resonated in my mind and physically in my belly. LESSON LEARNED. DON'T GIVE UP. DON'T GIVE IN. KEEP MOVING FORWARD, EVEN WHEN BAD CHOICES ARE MADE ALONG THE WAY...THANKS, BRENT! :)
