DAMN OREO Cookies

I had a training class last week that took up my whole afternoon. I like the class that I take but what drives me crazy are the snacks provided. Only single serving packs of cookies, chips, soda and coffee. How aer we suppose to stay awake and alert eating COOKIES? Normally, I'm prepared for days like this with my own snacks but this day I was running late and only had water, gum and an orange. I really did not want to peal my orange and draw attention. But I did it anyway to fight off my sweet tooth.

Let's just say I was running away from the Oreo's in my mind over and over. For 3 hours the single pack of OREOS's kept saying eat me, eat me. I watched others eat Fritos, chips, Oreo's, Nutter butters and Peanut butter and Cheese crackers. I keep getting up and refilling my water to avoid the temptations. 
When I have a day long class I normally plan a good lunch so I'm ready for anything out of the ordinary. But today was a sign of ill planning. For some stupid reason those damn OREO's were taking over my mind. But I was determined to beat it.
I must have chewed a whole pack of gum and gallon of water. My mistake was I grabbed the pack of Oreo's for my son. I thought, I would take them home and it would be a nice surprise for him.

I made it. 3 hours and no cookies. I was in the clear. Well, I knew those cookies were in my bag and now I was in my car alone. It was 4:30 and I bailed to go home. I totally caved to the Oreo's I reached in my bag and ate 2 out of the 6 pack. THEY WERE STALE. I was not going to waste my calories on stale Oreo's. so I tossed the remaining 4 out of the window. Yes I littered but I figured some bird or squirrel would enjoy them

All that turmoil for stale cookies. Lesson learned, move on.
