A Chocolate Sin

I don't know what came over me today. Maybe it was just stress from work or feeling a little too tired to make the right choices. I had promised my Daddy that I wouldn’t eat any sweets until next week since we’re trying to get healthier together. But when I got home and saw the box of chocolates on our coffee table, left there by my sister during her visit, something just snapped inside me. Despite knowing what the consequences would be if he found out, like a time-out or having to write lines, I couldn’t resist the temptation. One little chocolate bar turned into two before I knew it. Now here I am, feeling sick with guilt and worry about disappointing him yet again. It's like I can never get things right.
