Just One More...

I used to sneak extra donuts at work when nobody was looking.

I’d tell myself I’d only take one — and then later, I’d circle back, hoping no one noticed.

Sometimes I’d even break it in half so it didn’t look like I took a full one, although you know I went back for that second half.

The shame afterward was worse than the sugar.

And I remember wondering why I couldn’t just stop at one like everyone else seemed to do so easily.

But they would call to me.

For years, I believed this was simply a discipline problem — that I needed to try harder, be more committed, or start over again next week.

But what I eventually learned is that this wasn’t just about the food.

And it definitely wasn’t about willpower.

There was something else driving those choices — and once I began to understand what it was, everything started to shift.

I put together a short guide called How to Say No to Extra Food for moments exactly like this.
