It’s a poor idea to lie to yourself

Fat people tell themselves, "one more pie won’t hurt", and then they end up obese in bed, being crane lifted to their funeral.

Skinny people tell themselves they just need to lose one more kg and they will be their ideal weight, when in actual fact that one more kg will take them one step closer to wasting away.

Wealthy workaholics tell themselves if they work yet another weekend the family wont mind, but what they don’t realize is that their spouse is in the process of filing for divorce.

Shopaholics tell themselves one more swipe of the credit card will make everything better, when in actual fact it’s exacerbating the situation. If they had read their post they would know that the bailiffs will be knocking any day.

Addicts tell themselves one more drink will be the answer to all their problems when in actual fact it is the cause.

Sixteen year olds tell themselves if they sleep with their boyfriend or girlfriend it will make their relationship better, what they don’t know is that when they do eventually walk away it will hurt even more.

Extreme I know but I’m sure each of us have done one of the above to a lesser degree lying to yourself really doesn’t do you any favors.
