Sorry to shoot you down but...

Little bit personal but I may have had a slightly uncomfortable talk with a beverage today.

There it was, a Green Apple Rockstar sitting on my desk this morning when I came in for work. It had just shown up out of no where, like I didn't already have plans for the day. I set it aside and it has been staring at me from the back on my desk.. My tired body is wanting it and I have so far been able to will myself away from it.

Oh curses you Green Apple Rockstar, why must you taunt me so? Darn you headache for making my body think that I need to open it.. And Damn you brain for being cost conscious and not wanting to throw a perfectly good item away. Its lime green and pink decorated can are making my taste buds yearn for the taste. Dressed in all of those useless vitamins and dietary items you are quite deceiving in thinking that there might be a few things inside of you that could possible be good for me, of benefit somehow.

All I want to do is pull the tab and hear the hiss of the escaping carbonation. But alas I know that the smell will waft to my nostrils and I will be forever tempted to bring the cool can up to my aching, wanting lips.

I hate to shoot you down but I have a date with some Green Tea in a half hour and I just don't think I should be cheating GT the proper date I promised. Maybe we can talk about it tomorrow morning and I can fit you in somewhere. I'm sorry for you to have to do the walk of shame down to the drawer but I think this is best for me and my schedule today. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Cheers

    Love it. I've composed identical missives in my head to the sodas and Capri Sun in the office fridge, the salty snacks in the vending machine, and the delicious fatty soups and crackers in the snack cabinet.

    Congrats on remaining strong. I wish I would have been so strong when a package of red licorice showed up near my desk today.
    Curses.

    Nice job. I think finding out what our demons are is the first step, then kicking them in the @ss is the next ;-)

    Isn't it only about 20 calories for the can? What is the problem?

    Well then completely understandable. I saw a co-worker with this last week and asked them what the calories were and they told be about 20!!!! Either they were pulling my leg, or kidding themselves, either way that is a lot of calories for 1 drink.
