The real effect of eating carbs:  The story that started my blog (continued)

So what can I do?

The only thing left:

I summon my inner Hulk strength and RIPPPP a hole in my coat before reaching in to tear the key out like some sort of emergency jacket C-section.

And then I yell “YESSSSS!” like I just won the lottery and run out of the cafe with neither my coat nor my dignity intact.

Somehow, I made it back to work on time but I was not the same person I was before I left that windowless office.

I was changed. And it wasn’t just the gaping hole in my jacket. I was fierce, like a Lion. I learned some real life lessons that day. 

I discovered that when I’m backed into a corner until I’m sweating with nervous desperation and have no other options, I’m pretty much a no-limits bad ass.

Also, there really is no such thing as a free lunch. And I’m still never going to order the salad.
