Do-"nots"

I was running late to work this morning so I didn't get a chance to eat breakfast. I was planning on stopping and grabbing something on the way but I had court and didn't have time to stop. The court hearing I had was for my most difficult family and so I have been dreading it pretty much since the last hearing. Well, it turned out to be as bad as I expected so I decided that I would treat myself to a doughnut afterward. (I was starving!!! and I had to pass two really good doughnut shops on the way back to the office.) I was really craving a chocolate covered custard filled doughnut and so you can imagine my disappointment when I found there to be only one custard filled doughnut with WHITE icing and no chocolates left. I stood in front of the glass case for a while and debated whether any other doughnut would satisfy my craving. I was so hungry that I couldn't leave the doughnut counter without a doughnut and so I settled on a "tiger-tail." After I ate the doughnut I began feeling the remorse that usually comes after eating anything fried and/or plastered with sugar. I thought of all the nutritious things that I could've eaten instead of the doughnut and I felt really bad about my choice. When I got back to the office my home screen on the Internet had a wonderful announcement...... TODAY IS NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY!!! What a relief! All of those calories were not in vain but in celebration of national doughnut day. I suddenly felt so much better about myself. It's funny how easy it is to justify things when you want to.
