So, I am on a new lifestyle change. I don't eat bread, pasta, french fries etc...

but once a month, on the first day of shark week, I allow myself free reign to eat whatever I want. So usually I end up splurging my calories on french fries and wings of some sort

So I am laying in bed, and suddenly seemingly out of nowhere I have the uncontrollable CRAVING for wings. like NOW. Which is strange because usually, I don't really miss the foods I give up to lose weight unless they are in front of me lol so I pick up the phone and order.

and about 10 minutes later go to the bathroom and..

boom. sharkweek.

The body/brain are very strange :rofl1:

My brain and body are so not that in tune.

So does that mean that every time you have shark week (didn't get that at first either. lol) you will have to have wings? Or every time you have wings, shark week will come upon you? :p

Dude, I'm so slow. I was trying to figure out why there was a tv in your bathroom that you watch shark week on. Also I was all SHARK WEEK IS EVERY MONTH??

I was massively confused on how her mind just KNEW shark week was on... I mean the human brain is a fantastically complex thing but I didn't know that it could accurately predict television programming.

Oh and yes, I'm totally calling it shark week from now on.
