Forget Derailing; the Train Just Ran Me Over

Venti chai latte for lunch again, and a second one this afternoon ('cause their half price dontcha know...I love a bargain!!). But I will survive this little train wreck, as we all survive little train wrecks in our lives. I don't feel defeatist; I don't feel like I can't do this diet; I slipped.....like the true chai-aholic I am.

Do they have ten step programs for people addicted to sugar? Can I get a sponsor? Someone I can call that can talk me down as I sit for 20 minutes at the Starbucks drive-thru? Beyond the nagging headache I get when there is no caffeine coursing thru my veins; I realize that there is a real psychological addiction at work here. I look forward to the banter at the drive-thru window; I feel empowered walking around with my pop culture prize cup. It is my daily break, the thing I do for me, it is how I feel like I am relaxing. It is all horse shit, really. I need to find another vice. Someone put me on another train.

Dinner will be lemon chicken with salsa and beans. Choo choo!
