Chocolate covered pretzels + How to lose your sweet (or salty) tooth!

We moved into to our “quaint” apartment about 7 years ago.

We truly have loved living here.  It is near the beach, Main St, walking distance to like 7 parks (and we all know how important that from my last post).

AND some of our neighbors have been the best part.

Natalie is one of the good ones.

We hit it off right from the start when she introduced herself with quite the icebreaker.

Remember the part about our place being “quaint”? That is code for we share like 7 walls with 7 different people.

So one night before we had officially met Natalie, she heard Brian and me nothing fighting.

Apparently I was legit yelling at him “Well you hid them where I could find them!!!!”

She was intrigued and kept listening.

She overheard what was me being SO MAD at Brian for not hiding the chocolate covered pretzels well enough.

I had found them and eaten all of them.

And then felt like total shit (both mentally and physically).

And this was obviously his fault. Asshole.

When she told us this we instantly bonded (albeit I was a teensy bit red in the face!!!) and kept our nothing fighting to one of those loud whispers situations from then on.

7 years later Natalie, nor any other neighbor will hear us nothing fighting about the food not hidden well enough, and it is not because of the loud whisper thing.

It is because I literally trained my brain to not want the chocolate covered pretzels.

Right now in my apartment there are doritos, ice cream, tortilla chips and peanut butter stuffed chocolate covered pretzels. They are just there. Like out in the open. And I just don’t want them.

There is so much power in not having to micromanage the pantry, the upcoming party, the happy hour. I can just go and genuinely not want the things that really don’t serve me.

It is pure freedom.
