The Chocolate is Taunting Me

My roommate is rather adorable. For the past two and a half years she has decorated for every holiday - Halloween … Christmas … Flag Day. The list goes on. And of course, with the Hallmark day of love coming up soon, our apartment is bedecked in all things pink and heart-shaped. And chocolate. As I sit writing this to you, dear reader, there is a bowl of Hershey’s kisses not three feet to my right. And I’ve already eaten like 10 of them. If not more. Damn.

I’m the queen of lacking in self-control, so these taunting Kisses are becoming a problem. In fact, as a college student, I’m faced every day with more or less unlimted food whenever and wherever I want it. I think I can hide from calories in the library but then I hear the call of the pumpkin muffins in the study lounge cafe. If I have business to tend to in a certain academic building there are three eateries I must pass by to get there. And forget hanging out in student center. A ill-considered WildCard swipe is all it takes to turn an empty belly into a regret-filled stomach-ache. For reasons unbeknownst to me and my waistline, I've become somewhat of a cheese fries and salad addict - a habit that I am desperate to kick.

But alas, tomorrow is another day. What do you do to make healthy food choices each day?
