Cereal is Ruining My Life

I began this week developing the theory that cereal is ruining my life. Cereal is a weakspot in my life. I love it and just can't help eating at just about anytime of the day in obscenely large quantities. The theory is that this addiction to cereal is a domino effect leading to all kind of submission to other areas of life where my will-power is somewhat lacking. Let's face it, every morning I wake up and eat cereal. If I can't control myself not to have the second bowl (or third - or a fourth which almost always follows the third) that morning how can I possibly be expected to have the discipline to do eight hours of homework?

Given this current theory the simple elimination of cereal from my life would be the solution to every problem I face.

Okay so this kind of falls through, although I am not convinced that this is entirely not true. I think this casual relatioship between cereal and lack of drive is more or less just a correlation.

So cereal has become a barometer in my life. The amount and timing of the cereal that I eat can be highly correlated to my emotional and mental status.

Now using this information I will begin to understand my own frame of mind better. For example, if I can pin down the craving for a bowl of cereal at dinner time to the lack of desire to do work or to a mentally-exhausted state I could better make a plan of action towards the next couple hours.

Cereal may just be the key to my life.
