Not sure whether I was feeling lonely bored or what.. I just wanted to feel good and went to the freezer.. Wanted to have a soda.. Took it out even.. Then something stroke me.. I am just loosing the control and gathered myself and I put it back.

I went to the fruit basket instead and prepared a salad , fruit salad took a fork and started to enjoy a noon movie with it.. Then a glass of water with lil' lime and salt. Honestly it has been heaven.. This was how I prepared my snack with fruit and at the same time got over my craving for soda... Jolly Good isn't it?
