A couple of years ago my favourite coffee and muffin place opened up their own muffin bakery. Quite expensive ones, but oh so delicious. Thankfully on a street that I don’t pass every day though. Around this time last year when I started my new job I noticed that they were opening up another shop around the corner form the office. The shop is even bigger than the original one and they have loads of other goodies as cakes and pastries. Very nice indeed, but not good for a person like me who has no character when it comes to baked goods. Still though the shop is not on my home. Going down that street means I have done a deliberate choice as well as walking into the shop.
A month ago or so I noticed that they were opening up another shop on my ordinary way home. Bad, bad news! Last week was the grand opening and today I went in there. Just to buy a banana nut bar, but I already know that I will become one of their most frequent and loyal customers. It’s so bad!!!
I’ve noticed more and more that I’m falling back into bad habits using food a crutch and companion that never fails me. Those habits I worked so hard to get rid of and now I’m doing it again. Excuses? I don’t know, it is just happening and I’m getting lazy about myself or maybe bored. Things changed a lot, but five years down the line I’m bored and miss that special spark that kept me going. I need to have one of those defining moments again when I’m realise what I’m doing to my body and myself. It happened right after I turned 30. Will it happen again now when I turn 35?
