I work in a hospital and my office is on the first floor. I have to walk by the kitchen to get to my office. Today, the kitchen was making bacon. Oh how I love bacon. The cafeteria charges 30 cents a slice. The temptation has been killing me.

I brought my cottage cheese and a fresh peach. But I want that bacon. I walked up to the second floor and did my best to avoid the cafeteria. Now, I'm back in my office with my cottage cheese and peach. I'm not really safe until 10:00. 30 minutes to go. Then the cafeteria breaks down their breakfast set up and begins to set up for lunch.

I'm looking at my cottage cheese and sliced up peach. I've had a few bites of it. It is cool and tasty. But I keep thinking about that evil bacon. One slice won't do. I'll order 3-4. I just need to stay in my office until the temptation has been removed.


10:00 AM
It safe now to go upstair. The cafeteria is finished with breakfast. They will soon be setting up for lunch. The evil bacon has left the cafeteria.

I finished my cottage cheese and peach. I can't tell whether I'm hungry because I still want that bacon, or because I did not eat enough. Either way, when I bent down to pick up my bag to put my cottage cheese container away, my gut was a good reminder of staying away from the evil bacon.
