I can't shop for groceries while having hunger pangs, it doesn't lead to smart decisions.

The same with lust.

One bad decision I didn't have to make, can lead to decisions I shouldn't have to make.

What "both"? There are far more than two.
It's the other side that's greener. Y'know, the better one. The one you have not been to.

But why is the side I've already ran away from - to the other, greener side - still greener, yet again?

The grass is greener where YOU water it.

Why is it that when I finally crack and take a peek - three aisles later, she's never worth it?

Cuz by then there's another in the corner of your eye, she's sure to make this one pale in comparison.

Use it to your advantage.
Next time trick the yetzer hora by saying you'll look in a minute or two. By then, there'll be nothing worth looking at.

Some days are brutal, some days are a breeze.

On the hard days it's important I remember the easy ones, on the easy days it's even more important to remember the hard ones.

Each day I am either moving forward or moving backward.

There was never a day that I personally stayed the same as the day before.
