Just the Three of Us
Arghhh....Serve Me Right!
Wednesday, April 9, 2008
I don't know what got into me on Monday. Initially, I only wanted to accompany my husband to the park. I thought I would just walk around the park while waiting for him to finish his run. I must be delirious that day. I actually JOGGED!!!

Now, I'm suffering from the consequence of my impulsivity. My legs are aching pretty badly. Walking down the stairs has become one of the most arduous tasks for me. I can imagine what my husband will say when he reads this. "See, I told you. You must exercise!”

Recently, I tipped the scales at 4*kg (since I’m a woman, I shall keep my weight confidential!). Must be all the binging in Bangkok! That probably explains why I had the impetus to jog on Monday.

But all was done in vain! The prawn crackers that had been lying around the kitchen for the longest time was just too alluring and I thought I would just get rid of it last night before it became an eye sore.

Just when I was done with the crackers, my husband suggested opening a new snack. Being a meek and submissive wife (haha), I did what I was told. He didn't like the snack and he only took TWO helpings. As for me, I was compulsively eating away while watching some Korean drama on TV. Before I knew it, one quarter of the packet was gone or was it half a packet?

What's done cannot be undone anyway, so why fret over spilled milk? To end the binging session on a high note, I had some yogurt. It read "Non-fat" yogurt on the label.

So which Habit of Mind is applicable here?
Managing Impulsivity.
I should analyse the pros (if any) and cons before I indulge in a binging session next time! (Oh dear, I must be marking too many newspaper reflections lately!)
