Gym and French fries.

Sometimes the best things in life aren't the best things for life.

Take French fries for example.

They are pure grease and carb monsters. Yet I crave them often like a pregnant woman craving orange juice. I love those fries. I feel like a total lard ball after eating them, but once I start munching, I can't stop.

French fries are so good to me, but they aren't good for me.

To reduce my sins of eating Island's fries and an In-N-Out burger (protein style--no buns but lettuse rapped), I went to the gym at 10:30p.m. to burn those suckers off. I obviously did not melt off every bit of saturated fat that I had consumed, but it did make me feel better.

Why do we love things that are bad for us?

I think we love them because they are bad.
I know procrastination is bad, but I still do it. I know eating junk is bad, but I can't stop.

I saw a book at my work the other day on why people do things that are bad for them, and how those habits are scientifically fixed. Maybe I'll check it out sometime.
