#53 - Crunch. Crunch. Everywhere.

Lily sits on the couch, gripping her glass of water like it is a trophy. She is on The No-Snack Challenge, while her husband and teenage kids are loudly devouring a family-sized bag of chips. 

CRUNCH. CRUNCH. CRUNCH.

She tries to focus on the movie, but the sound of chips being annihilated fills the room. Jack licks his fingers dramatically. Ella tilts the bag so the last crumbs tumbled into her mouth. Jules smacks his lips.

Lily take a slow, deliberate sip of water. Refreshing. Pure. Totally satisfying. Right?

Ben grins and holds out a chip. “Sure you don’t want one?”

Lily narrows her eyes. “I’d rather drink my water and let my body clean up inside.”

Right on cue, her stomach rumbles—loudly.

Jules smirks. “Sounds like your body just found an old cookie in there.”

Lily rolls her eyes and takes another heroic sip. Guess what, she doesn’t miss the chips. At all.  Deep inside she feels like a real hero.
