Today I Said No
Today I said no to Cinnabon...
Not because I didn't have the money,
Because I did...
And not just enough for 1 or 2,
But I had enough for more than a few.
But....
I said no to
One of my most favorite things.
Sugary, Decadent, Sticky Goodness...
That I decided wouldn't fit into
My jeans.
I made myself remember,
That the Goodness
would be fleeting...
That the Decadence
&
Utter Scrumptiousness...
Wouldn't really be
Treating,
And may end up defeating...
My plan, my hard work ...
Causing me to lose,
The Ongoing battle
That I have with
My subconscious...
The prickish jerk.
But... I did it...
If only for today.
If only for this 1 time.
It happened,
and
No matter how many times
I changed my mind,
I changed it back,
And
I
won.
Because I said no...
To Cinnabon.
