The next day, I joined my co-workers for lunch at a place called Chubby Freeze. Yep, Chubby Freeze. Ironically, there was a giant banner advertising their "Delicious, Low Fat Turkey Burger" outside. That was the only thing on the menu I could even consider, so I got it. Sure I had to scoop off the lettuce saturated in mayonnaise, but the burger itself was pretty good.<\/p>\n

After lunch and back at work, I discovered a giant plastic shopping bag full of Halloween candy. It had everything: chocolate, hard candy, gummy candy, everything. I found myself just falling into the trap of grabbing some sour gummy candy – every single time I walked by the bag!

You can believe whatever you want when it comes to omens or signs but for me, that said volumes. I took a picture of it and it's now the photo I see every time I look at my phone, to serve as a reminder: You're allowed to have treats every once in a while, but it's SO easy to fall into old habits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I came away from this past week with two very separate yet related thoughts. You're very much allowed to treat yourself every once in a while, but it's so easy to fall back into old habits.
