I posted my last entry during my lunch period today. At 11:23, I clicked publish; at 11:24, the bell rang; at 11:25 the chef next door comes up to me with a piping hot chocolate souffle that just came out of the oven and which he insisted I eat right away while it was still warm!! So after I grumble to him that he is ruining my diet, I take a taste, it melts in my mouth and 20 minutes later half of a VERY generous portion is gone!! Lord deliver me!! Did I actually say that work was a good place to keep to my diet? I take it all back!! You know I went on wikipedia and looked up Antichrist (I know, not the end all, be all of reference material but it can often get the job done) and it said "The antichrist will seemingly provide for the needs of the people but deny them ultimate salvation." The chef next door is this person, if I did not love this man so much for his wit and generosity I would hate him!! And isn't that what the Antichrist is trying to get us all to do?...why am I being punished? And the thing is, I'm not obligated to eat any of it and I know, but it genuinely is really good food, and the chef and the kids do such a great job it is really hard to say no. Now the trick is to give away the other half of the this souffle, please Lord (the real one this time) let my service student come today so she can eat all of this!! I just can't take it:(
Update: It has been over a year since this post! lol. Today is the 16th of May of 2013. I'm much closer to my goal than I was then but still not there. And, after a year, I still can't say no, the food is still delicious, and I think I just have to deal with it. I'm willfully falling into sin! Chef 1 - Me 0 (but what a delicious way to go down! lol).
What is the name of this Antichrist 'cause I'm fittin' to give him a piece of my ever-loving mind!! Be like Beatrix, just say "No THANK YOU!" usually works to get people to back off up you. Also, throw in a little crazy eye, works wonders.
