No matter how perfect we think we are, I'm sure everyone has got that one or more things, a soft spot or weakness which we know is bad for us or maybe our health but we just can't stop ourselves from indulging in them.
Ever wondered why even though it is boldly written that smokers are liable to die young on the pack of cigarette, there are still lots of smokers scattered all around the world, well these habits are not limited to smoking or drinking alone, we might call theirs an addiction, but what about some of us who indulge in other unhealthy habits either as a form of emotional or physical gratification, isn't it an addicted as well, or just our brain forcing us to satisfy unhealthy cravings.
Sadly, I've also got an unhealthy snack I was guilty of over-indulging in and always skipping healthy meals for, and I wish I could help myself to stop at the time because of how long it took, I knew it was bad, but kept on going at it.
My kind of job is an exhausting and time-consuming one, and most times it's all about meeting the targeted due date or deadline so I don't disappoint a client, what started as an innocent indulgence became a habit and sadly also ate deep into my finances because of how often I bought it.
There is no time to eat now, I thought to myself, while making miss Tope's seess, I was so into the making procsss, all I was aiming for was the perfect outcome, my stomach grumbled against my thought, it needed to be refilled, after all I had exerted a lot of energy to get to the level I was now in the dress making, But no, sitting down to cook any meal now meant wasting more time, thank God my children were with grandma.
A friend had dropped a chocolate for me earlier, during her visit, I picked the roll of chocolate, it was 12 sachetts in a roll, one sachet in my mouth as I peddled the sewing machine away, absorbed in my work, followed by another and another before I knew it, I was looking for more sachetss, not realizing I had finished all 12 sachets in a roll, and that began my chocolate craving, maybe it's the brand, because I've never been so addicted to chocalate that way before.
Ever since then, I couldn't go a day without buying this said brand of chocolate, to make it worse, I went further to start getting big jars of it, not the rolls of sachet anymore. This went on for months not until my mum raised a suggestion that I go for a checkup, because the craving was now looking abnormal, and indeed, I was lacking a nutrient that increased this craving, and was prescribed a supplement which I took religiously.
I've so far been conscious not to sacrifice my meal time and take my health seriously. Guess what, the chocolate brand that tasted like the best thing to me in the world now taste strange, and my cravings for it stopped, I only noticed it tastes better when I'm stressed, how strange, lol.
