It's less about willpower and more about reputation

I just ate a huge, and unnecessary, slice of lemon cake topped with 1" of buttercream icing and lemon gel.  I wasn't hungry.  I wasn't craving sweets.  I was not being pressured by anyone in particular to fatten up.  But I'm well known around here for always trying the cakes, pies, cookies, etc.  As soon as someone spots a "food" celebration of any kind, but particularly the sweets I start getting phone calls.  As I love being kept informed of everything large and small I make it appoint to never pass up the eats when the communication network kicks in.  On the other hand when a get calls number 2-10 I tell them I've already had my piece…. Maybe I could tell that to caller number one as well.
