So, my large baggage (if you’ve seen the show), deepest darkest secret is the fact that I randomly wake up nearly every night and sleepwalk my way into the kitchen. Okay, it is not really sleepwalking, it’s awake walking that I pretend doesn’t exist when I track calories on myfitnesspal app because each trip I tend to eat a couple chips ahoy cookies, a piece of candy, a donut, ice cream sandwich, or whatever I find. Then, I immediately go back to sleep and pretend nothing happened, visions of dancing cookies and sugar plums dancing in my dreams.
I’m glad I just go that out in public. Let the shame and humiliation begin. Myfitnesspal glares at me, clearly the circle of trust has been broken and we are no longer “pals”. Sorry homie, in your honor, my day 6 commitment is to start using you honestly again. Maybe someday I will once again earn your trust and not pretend that a 20 minute slow crawl on the treadmill burned 450 calories, and my late night cookie binge is calorie free because if I can’t remember it vividly, it must not have happened. Hashtag honesty is the best policy.
