Story: Gotta Have It

How was it then?

A thought of a food would enter my head, and then I knew it was only a matter of time before that food was in my belly. I had no power to stop it. I could maybe delay it for a few hours, or even a day or two. But I knew that eventually, I would eat it.

How is it now?

I don’t really think about food as much now, so food doesn’t pop into my head like it used to. Also, if a food does pop into my head, it doesn’t really bother me. I have a lot of thoughts in a day, and I don’t need to act on all of them. It took some time, but I have learned not to give credence to my thoughts just because I have them. I can’t stop myself from thinking about things, but I can stop myself from acting on random thoughts that pop into my head.
