I feel like the mouse in that picture book
The thought process goes like this:
Hmmm. I think I want some fudge.
I shall make fudge.
*cook stir pour wait*
Yay! I have fudge!
*Nom nom nom*
I have to stop eating this fudge.
Quick! Give away all the fudge.
Whew. Now my pants will continue to fit.
Hmmm. I think I want fudge.
