Proposal for a New Morning After Pill

I made a huge mistake last night. I just couldn't help myself. I had been down for the past few days and nothing could pick me up. My hormones were at an all time high and my willpower at an all time low...a lethal combination to say the least. My partner in crime? My husband of course. He'll do just about anything for me when I get like that if he thinks it will bring me out of my funk. But, don't let the guy fool you, he enjoys it just as much as me. The only problem is that he doesn't really have to suffer the consequences, now does he? Not like a woman does.

I woke up this morning feeling a little bit better after my indiscretion, but then it hit me. I realized what a big mistake I had made wallowing around in my self pity. I laid there and thought how nice it would be if someone out there could create a "Morning After Pill for these types of situations. The type of situation when you've been dieting like a crazed lunatic for the past two months knowing that a swimsuit is in the near future and you just get so down because the weight just isn't coming off fast enough. Toss in a little PMS and an exhausting weekend spent getting the kids to all of their various activites. Top it all off with a gloomy Monday and there you have it. Two people tired and weak from life in general who just need a little something for themselves. The thought of sex was way too exhausting, but my husband's thought of a Chik-Fil-A milkshake seemed the perfect treat for two people who've been busting their asses trying to get back in shape and depriving themselves way too much.

How awesome would that be though? A "Morning After" pill that would erase the mistake of a giant cookies and cream milkshake happily sucked down at 10:00 at night? Surely someone's thought of this, right? A way to simply turn back the clock with a wiser point of view and take back all those calories? Well, it's not a pill, but I suppose the treadmill will have to serve me right now. But I must say, my scrumptious milkshake did make me feel a little better and knowing that I had to work it off made me get to the gym a little quicker this morning. And my husband probably won't even notice the extra calories because guys can do that, can't they? I know that I'll have to work a little harder to shake those calories, but hey, he did go get them at 10:00 last night, while I stayed wrapped up on the sofa,right? I suppose he deserves it!
