OBSTREPEROUS

I can be obstreperous, especially with food around! I chose this word today because I have been trying to sacrifice sweets for my abstinence for lent. However, I have cheated 3 days already. I have been dreaming, seeing, smelling, and salivating over sweets even as I speak, right now.
So, I admit in defeat that I have absolutely no will power when it comes to sweets. I have been sticking with the whole no red meat on Fridays. I think the man upstairs will accept that one.
