almost cheated but got "sign"

Day 5 paleo... around 3 pm I went to get a cup of coffee at work. I didnt really feel like I needed it but its habit. (Im reading Its about food right now and probually will be switching to decaf in the afternoon so I dont have the coritisol bump) ANYWAYS... I walked over to the coffee shop and on the way decided I wanted a cupcake too... again NOT hungry but habit. All the way there I made up my mind Yes I will have something and deal with the percussions later.

I get over there and the person in front of me is atleast 400 lbs, with a cane, huffing and puffing just by standing up. She orders a cupcake, two cookies, a side of fruit and a diet coke.

Then it was my turn... and it was very easy to order my plain black coffee and get back to work.

Sounds horrible but I felt like she was there to remind me of why Im doing this. Remind me of why my previous eating habits got me to where I am.

And FYI that book is amazing - Im about half way done... massively eye opening! I expecially like when she detailed a normal person thinking they are eating healthy and what the eat and when and what is going on in their body because of the way it reacts in the body... it felt 100% like she was talking about me.

Of course she ordered a diet Coke -- that's supposed to wipe away all of the calories from the goodies -- unfortunately the diet soda will put more fat on the midsection than the regular soda would.... but people look at me funny when I tell them about my diet.
