The Sweet Smell of Change

[necia]

Hey Everyone,

I've defintly been going through some changes, (for the better), and I know I couldn't have did it without the sincere friendliness, knowledge, and expertise of the members of this forum. Along my way, during my walk to the gym is a Chinese Store, that specialize in chicken wings. Now, I'm a prime example of that stereotype about black people loving them some fried chicken and watermelon. Anyway, previously my knees would get so weak each time I passed this store. The smell of the chicken was so intoxicating, but I continued to walk on by. Sadly, but still passing right on by.

Anyway today, I passed the same store. The smell that radiated outside from within, made my knees so weak I almost passed the hell out. The smell was sickening to my stomach. I couldn't stand the thought or smell of all that grease perhaps entering my body should I succumb.

I'd tell you it was a wonderful, almost euphoric feeling. Aah the sweet smell of CHANGE.

The smell of the pork fried rice would have had made me weak (I prefer my Mom's chicken over the Chinese joint)!

Way to go!!! One day at a time.

Its weird how some of the things I use to love make me sick. My junk food list has been narrowed down to three things, Hooters Wings, Bacon cheeseburgers and pepperoni pizza.

Yeah, on my cheat day I was like, "dammit, I want a happy meal!" So I run my ass over to mickey D's, and order my happy meal. I was so excited! Took a bite, and GROSS!!! It tasted like sweat with ketchup on it!!!! So, I think I'll stick to my home-made cheat meals.......MMMMMM........Oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies..........mmmmmm.......
