Monkey

You see I have a monkey on my back.
I am a Coke addict.
I fight it hard but it is a stress reliever, a cooling break and I love them .
There are bad for my teeth, my body, my weight, my life.
Some days I do better than others.
This week I am consiously trying to not buy any unless I eat out.
I try to eat out at local place that doesn't serve Coke only Pepsi which I hate.
I do not buy cases for my home, I only buy singles if I stop at store or to eat.
I'm trying, I'm human, I love them.
Don't tell me just to stop , I do, I go weeks and months without them.
Stress is directly related to need for them which is a telling sign.
 I should destress but HE  the cause wont take the hint.
LOL
So not funny but again necessary to laugh about it for awhile yet.
         
Oh how I miss it.
What's worse I collect Coke "stuff" .
I have huge sign that hung outside place in PA that I loved to get real old fashioned subs
with the wooden long picks in it to hold it together.
I have little mirrors and magnets and advertisments as well.
I need to put them away.
But I love it!
 
On a side note I turned idiot box on at 8:00 pm last night to see what was on.
I had been reading before that, a Iris Johansen book, real good.
I flipped through 60 channels and nada, nothing, zip, zilch on.
I started to watch something I didn't even like.
When I realized that I turned it off and read till 10:00pm.
Lights out should have been earlier but better than mindless show I didn't even like.
It's a start.
 
Down with the monkeys!

  1. I hear ya girl, I hear ya. I'm like you with the Coke, but with something much, much worse. Not only a cola product, but a DIET cola product; Diet Pepsi. Same here; don't buy it for the house, but when I'm out, I'll stop at the gas station and get me a 32-ouncer. But I've been known, on occasion, to just make an excuse to go out in order to stop at the station for a soda! Yes, I am human, I am imperfect. But I try. Most of the time :)

    1. 32 ouncer? Oh my you have addiction too. I've been trying to buy a can (taste better too ice cold ;]) or the smallest bottle I can find. We can do this, this too shall pass, does either phrase help when a craving hits? No? Me neither but I'm still trying!
