Two Drive Thrus

Today... is a good day.

I drove into, and then out of, two fast food drive throughs.

Yay me!

I have a one hour lunch break every day. My first stop was to stop at the gas station. The only other mandatory stop I had to make on my break was to Wal-Mart. My addictive brain kicked in at that point, and I drove my freshly fueled up vehicle right into the Burger King drive through across the street. Almost without even thinking about it. I sat there for a second, and after gauging my hunger, realized that I didnt really feel like eating here. So I jumped out of line and moved onto Wal-Mart.

So I got to Wal-Mart, picked up my things. I still hadn't eaten. I had 20 minutes left to get back to work. There is a McDonald's right next to WalMart, so I snuck into the parking lot and into the drive through line. And once again, realized that I didnt really want this food.

What's interesting to me is how entering the drive throughs sated my addictive mind. It wasn't the food. It was the motion of going to get the food. Once I was in line, I snapped right out of it. What is that about anyways? So I came back to work without having eaten, sat through a meeting, and just now ate a bowl of high fiber oatmeal.

Again... yay me.
