Double standards

Why is there such a double standard? On Friday we talked about the need for losing weight. On Tuesday, we spoke about eating a healthy lunch. This afternoon we discussed the disappearance of the ice cream. Are we really worried about what we are eating? If so, why are we worried about what brand of ice cream is in the freezer?

Today, we left work early so we could drive an hour into the country to buy peach ice cream. When we got there the place was closed. Were we upset because we wasted two hours in driving through the August heat for no reason other than to waste the time and the gas and the money? No. We were really upset because we got no peach ice cream.

What difference does it make? We are still too fat. We are still wasting time and money and effort for little grins like ice cream when what we really need is the discipline to avoid this stuff. How stupid that we wasted words on what brand of ice cream was in the freezer. A better remark would be to wonder why we have it at all.

We are better experts on the eating habits and needs of the other members of the family rather than ourselves. How stupid. We need consistency and discipline.

So much disturbance over the label on the ice cream carton. Silly.

I wrote this twice because the computer ate part of it before I could save it. Also stupid.
