Cereal

It's the kind of day where you pour yourself cereal, think, "hey, there's not that much left--might as well finish it off," then end up with over twice the amount you wanted, but you eat it anyway, even as it gets soggier and grosser and turns into sludge, just because stopping would be admitting defeat, and you just really need to be a winner for once.

But then, inevitably, you get full and set the bowl aside, still halfway filled with soggy cereal, because deep down, you can't change who you are.
