But you get near food, so you start eating it. You tell yourself to eat one or two cookies because "frick yeah, we've got homemade cookies in the house!" Because that's what a normal person may do. But you don't eat two, you eat four and stop because that's too many. Then you remember that there's milk in the fridge, so you get a glass of milk. You eat three more cookies because cookies and milk go together. You realize that eating the entire plate of cookies will piss off your wife, so you stop eating cookies. You still have milk left, so you pour cereal into a bowl and add the rest of the milk. Ohp...didn't have enough milk. Let's top it off with some more. You eat the cereal and realize there's some milk leftover. So you add a little more cereal and finish the bowl. As you put the milk back in the fridge, you reach into the freezer and grab a pint of ice cream. Just because it's there. You eat a spoonful and tell yourself, "Well, I already blew my diet today anyway...." You eat a few more spoonfuls and realize that the ice cream is melting a little on the edges, which makes it a bit more tasty and easier to scoop. So you start scraping the perimeter of the ice cream container until you're dipped down into it. It's noticeable, and you start to wonder about your wife asking you about eating seven cookies and the ice cream. So you eat from the middle of the ice cream to try and hide the fact that you just ate half of the container. You put the ice cream away and grab some dark chocolate from the pantry because it's "healthy" and bitter and whatever, frick it, why not?
