Split Personality Disorder
by Kym on August 31, 2006
Yes, I have SPD (don’t things sound so much scarier when you abbreviate them?). It’s okay, we get along fine. We have some interesting conversations, me and me. I had one earlier today that I thought I’d share.
Me: “Kim! What are you doing?!”
Me: “Mmph…eating brownie.”
Me: “I see that, but it’s ucky stale brownie that’s been sitting in the fridge for a week!”
Me: “Mmm…Still a brownie.”
Me: “But an ucky brownie!”
Me: “Chocolate is chocolate!”
Me: “It’s not worth the calories! You’re not even really enjoying it!”
Eureka! I got through to me! And I tossed the rest in the trash. Yay me! And me too, of course.

ROFL!!! I am glad that you got through to yourself. Perhaps I need to find my split personality, sounds like she could really come in handy…You know the next time I am tempted to eat a stale yucky brownie. Or even three or four in a row of non stale brownies. ;)

My husband read this post with me. (Okay, actually he said, “how are the Mormon Mommies?” and started reading over my shoulder and saying, “oh, is this Canada Kim?” Yeah, he knows all about my online friends. LOL) We were both cracking up the whole way through! Great post!
Way to go on not finishing that brownie. I have totally had that conversation with myself before (“why am I eating this? It’s not even very good!”) but the me-who-can’t-stand-to-waste would win out and me-with-a-waist would lose. ;-)

Man, if I had a dime I’ve had this exact same thing happen to me… except the “me” eating the brownie would ALWAYS win over the “me” going, what in the crap are you doing???? I applaud you for being strong! :)

I am loving your posts… So beautiful!
And I have thrown many a many a treats away because I didn’t want to waste my treat quota on icky Oreos or what not. BUT. I don’t really have a “treat quota” so what the heck am I really talking about anyway?
Oh. And a brownie would never never never EVER get to the icky old stage at my house. They are lucky to live more than 24 hours.

Very funny! Considering Me, Myself and I can’t eat ANY sugar, I’m coming over to dig that stale brownie out of your trash, blow it off and snarf it.
