We are out of cookies! We haven’t had cookies for a couple of days. Do I really want to buy them and have the temptation in front of me? We do have cookie mix, but that would mean taking the time to mix and bake. Hmmmm, making it yourself is kind of like freezing your credit card in a block of ice; you get some time to ponder it and reconsider. By the time you get the package of mix and bowl out, you just aren’t in the mood. If you are still in the mood, at least you will burn some calories mixing it yourself. There is a shiny, red apple on the table. It’s not a sweet, crunchy cookie, but it is sweet and crunchy and ready to eat.

Wow. I am picturing a credit card frozen in a giant block of ice and thinking what a bad shopping habit one would have to have to go to those extremes.
I think it’s called an addiction, or at the very least lack of self-control.
