Steps to Paradoxical (and Bad) Habits

Why do we engage in behavior that is clearly detrimental to our well being? I only bring this up as I examine this week in review. Here is how it played out:

1. I have too much work to do.
2. I don't get paid enough to do this much work.
3. I am not paid enough because I am not valued enough.
4. Bull.
5. (anger)
6. I am smart and capable--I am frustrated by work volume, not complexity or difficulty.
7. I deserve better.
8. What can I make "better?"
9. I can have a better dinner, including steak and a chocolate chocolate chip bread loaf dessert.
10. Goal to balance work / exercise / diet shattered.

You see? Too much work leads to chocolate desserts. Who would have thought?
