Day 168: "Helping Yourself"

So, I saw the craziest thing the other day.  I was just walking along at work when I ducked into the kitchen to get my Greek yogurt.  There was a pile of powdered donuts with a big sign that said "Help Yourself."  Seriously, help yourself?  The little sign really made me mad.  I love, love, love donuts.  In fact, I think that Homer Simpson may be the only person that beats me out on my love of these fried doughy treats (the problem is Homer isn't real and I am).   Anyway, here is this mile-high pile of powdered donuts enticing me--begging me--to eat them. 

I admit I sat their looking at them for a while, trying using my laser vision to obliterate them off the face of the earth.  It did not work.  Then, I re-read the sign, "Help Yourself."  As I read it, I read it differently than I normally do.  Help yourself.  Sometimes, life comes along and slaps you in the face to remind you about what you are trying to do.  That is when I remembered I have bigger priorities in life than eating something that will make me fat.  I did help myself.  I grabbed my Greek yogurt and I went back to my office.  No donuts in my belly and no powder on my face.  For once in my life, I really did help myself.
