Crime and Punishment

The crime - a miniature box of yogurt-covered raisins - the punishment - extra-strenuous leg lifts and self-flagellation (with a wet, but whole wheat, noodle).  But a part of me felt that committing this indiscretion served a higher purpose, much like Dostoyevsky's conflicted protagonist/antagonist Rodion Raskolnikov felt.  I experienced a sugar high like nothing I've ever experienced.  Almost euphoric in nature.  However, once the sugary orgasm subsided, I felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.  Atonement and fat-free cheese is in order.
