Let me paint a picture for you to start it off:
At a Mcdonalds Drive thru....
DT (Drive Thru): "Welcome to Mcdonalds, can I take your order?"
Fat dude/chick: "Yes, can I order a Large number 1, 2 Mcdoubles, a McChicken and a Parfait. "
DT: "And what would you like to drink?"
Fat dude/chick: "Can I just get a diet coke.."
Brothas....sistas.....I know we have all done this in the past and I know the reason why. Mentally, we think we are softening the blow to that large ass order we just made. In our heads, we are saying "This diet coke will make up for all the other shit i just ordered"
WELL...It doesn't and you know it.
Diet coke ain't gonna change shit. I mean, COME ON...you already ordered all that shit, you might as well go all out and order your ass a regular coke or what not. Unless you like the taste of diet coke then feel free, other than that...you are just kidding yourself and not fully satisfying yourself.
But why do we do it???
Well, we do it because it helps us accept what we have ordered and gets rid of that certain guilt afterwards.
So if you are going to pull some shit like this, don't pretend you don't know what you are doing. If you want a healthy drink...just drink water. And if you don't trust water from other places than from a bottle or your house....then you are shit out of luck. Order that soda and just say fuck it.
FML...
