I know it probably won’t work for you. But you should at least give it a shot. Because after-all, we learn more from our failures. So this might be a good thing to help you learn.
You said your favorite type of potato chip is the baked Lay’s. Can you buy a medium bag of those chips, a Sharpie pen, and something to close the bag, like a chip clip or clothespin or something like that?
Write the date and time on the bag with the Sharpie.
Open the bag, eat just one chip, and then close the bag and put the clip on it to keep it closed tightly. Keep the bag in plain sight somewhere in your house, not hidden away. But don’t eat any more of them. None at all.
Let’s see how long you can go.
Originally I thought that you should do this for a week, but that obviously won’t work. It would be too long. I know you can’t make it a week.
So let’s see if you can hopefully go a few hours or maybe even a day. I know this is hard for you. I know chips are tough, that’s why I picked them. And I suspect being a woman might also make it a bit more difficult because it’s a food item we are dealing with.
It’s okay to understand your weakness. That helps to know what your breaking point is. A few hours? A day, maybe? Let’s see how long you can last. And then you would know your limits and understand your weakness better, and be able to hopefully make yourself stronger some day in the future.
I made a prediction of how long you could last before you caved, but I will wait to share that with you.
Okay, I actually haven’t even read the rest yet. I’ll go read now. That was just too much— about the one chip at a time.
and thank you, @T1Allison. So feeble are his attempts at mind games. I’m the queen of mind games, @Eric… But I promise never to unleash them on you. It just wouldn’t be fair.
And this is all in good fun, right??? I don’t want this getting all serious—people’s feelings getting hurt and whatnot… I’ll go read now and prepare myself for the challenge. Mentally.
