Grocery Store Samples

Post by jenlio97 »

I did not realize it when I was in the store today and toke a sample of Tilapia this was a snack. Duh. It is only my third Tuesday. At least I checked myself before I got to the sample of almond cake. But it is amazing how once I opened that snack door I wanted more and while I was unpacking the groceries it was all I could do to remind myself that dinner is just a few hours away.

Yeah, I've almost been tripped up by the free samples myself. :-)

What a vivid illustration of the power of habit -- a bite of Tilapia, this healthy, virtuous, non-snacky food -- and you've confused your routine enough to discombobulate yourself for the rest of the day.

Don't sweat it, now you're aware. I doubt it will happen again.
