Self control was the plan

One perceived crisis after another today. Maybe not the best day to take on 22 hours of not eating as part of an intermittent fast, but what the hell. I made it to the cafeteria before it closed and grabbed a pre-made sandwich, chips and a slice of lemon merengue pie. The girl at the register only charged me for the sandwich. 

"I love sweets," she said. "Go ahead and get you some more lemon merengue. I have to throw it all away tonight."

She directed me to take it all - four slices - and even provided me a paper grocery bag to cover my gluttony. I went back to my office and inhaled it all except the fourth piece of that good, good lemon merengue pie. Self-control.
