Doughnuts

I’m going to be real with you, I have a love-hate relationship with doughnuts! I love them but I have no self-control when I’m around them…Call me Pavlov’s dog…I know why I have this problem and it comes from growing up poor in Detroit, MI. My mother could only afford to reward me with food particularly, doughnuts. Anytime I deserve a reward, I would get doughnuts … Good report cards…doughnuts, 1st place in the spelling bee…doughnuts, good feedback in the parent-teacher conference… you guessed it, doughnuts.

Now I’m in my late 20’s and I have this relationship with doughnuts.  One of these days, I am going to get counseling about doughnuts, until then I’ll use you all for help. So a couple days ago, I was at the grocery store and there were either eagle or boy scouts there having a fundraiser and guess what they’re selling? Krispy Kreme Doughnuts!

I see them and my mouth starts to water… I begin to fantasize about how good they would taste after you put them in the microwave for 10 seconds and add 2 scoops of buttered pecan ice cream on top of it (Judge me if you want, we all have our weakness).  Anyways, I reached in my pocket to see if I had the cash on hand to buy them.  Instead, I grab my phone and post this message on Facebook and twitter:

I said to myself, if no one responds by the time, I leave the grocery story I am buying the doughnuts. However, I received a boatload of responses on twitter and Facebook. Some of them were funny but it was just what I needed to pass up the doughnuts…  I gave the troop a $20 and kept walking… The moral of this story is that we all have weak points, we all need to some type of help, and we don’t have to do this alone. Don’t be prideful or afraid to ask for help… If you need, seek help…Even if it’s on social media… There are tons of people out there rooting for you… If you put the distress signal out someone will come to your rescue.

I want to thank everyone on Facebook and twitter that responded to my distress signal. I really appreciate it!  I probably would have bought the doughnuts and that would have been a bad situation. Since this is an ever-going battle, I think it’s time for me to keep track of my battle with doughnuts. The current score is Martiuns 1, Doughnuts 0
