So last year when I was living with my brother in Philadelphia, I discovered that I had the ability to polish off a ream of Oreos in a matter of a couple of minutes with a tall glass of milk. I later added to this with my incredible ability to demolish a "Minute to Win It Challenge" where you would place an Oreo on your forehead and move it to your mouth using only your face muscles. At a Thanksgiving field day event with some friends I discovered I could do about 8 in a row (including eating them as they got to my mouth). As many people know I have a sugar problem where I basically only want to eat sugar ALL the time, but what no one has realized is I actually have avoided buying Oreos since sometime in March.
Today during my 20 mile run (2:50:47 with 1138 feet climb) I was thinking about how with less than 5 weeks to go I need to eat healthier as I still have a soda every now and again (almost 1/day), and my awesome Nesquik dessert every now and again or endless other things... (Roommates you shush haha)
I actually thought for a minute I was doing well yesterday but then realized that I was not despite my ability to eat 2/3 of a chicken for dinner a brownie and then have a long swim workout.

Dude. If you run 20 miles in a day you can eat whatever you want. That is the 11th commandment.
