♥ sticking to the diet
the other day i was sitting down in the food court at work
and these three women sat down. they already had a baby and i think they were trying to lose the fat that you gain when you pregnant (you know?)
anyways i overheard them talk about salads and food...
and after a while, one of them sat down with a salad from sumo salad - very healthy, good job right? but then she opens a 600mL bottle of coke.
and i started thinking to myself... "uhh, dude, if tryin to lose weight, whats the point of gettin a salad if ur just gonna drink coke?"
it just seemed, so... stupid at the time.
but when i draw parallels to my own life.
i have a dream, i have a goal... i have a way of getting there. a plan maybe.
but do i really stick to my plan... you see, at least that lady GOT a salad... where as in my situation, its like i walk straight past that sumo salad place...
maybe i looked through the window - but i don't bother stopping to buy anything, because those red rooster chips smell so much better... because they're cheaper... easier to eat on the go...
sometimes i don't even realize i walk past that salad place, because my eyes are so set on red rooster. i say i "want" to reach my goal (in this situation - losing weight) but, i dont.
is it because i can't find the time? because i don't have the money. or its just not that appealing.
all these lame excuses...
does it really just come down to how much i "want" it.
is it really as simple as - if you want it, you'll work for it. don't people get distracted? too busy? things don't go according to plan... it doesn't mean that i don't want it.
anyways, this blog entry will sound really stupid if you don't know what i'm talking about - don't worry, i'm not actually on a diet, and i will never pay $10 for a salad... but as i said, its drawing parallels... i dont even know if i make sense.. zzz
