Metabolism < self discipline and determination

Yesterday I was at a gathering and showing my dad and step mom a picture of the cinnamon roll pancake that I got. This prompted him to tell the couple sitting with them about the gigantic cinnamon roll I got for breakfast when we went out a week ago (what can I say, I’m obsessed haha).

The man looks and me and says “and you’re still slim! That’s because you’ve got a good metabolism.” I tried to correct him by saying, no, that’s because when I eat stuff like that, I eat nothing else the rest of the day.

But it’s not my “metabolism.” It’s the fact that I woke up that morning and burned almost 500 calories with an hour long weights workout. (As I do almost every morning). And that I only ate about half the pancake. (The giant cinnamon roll lasted me a week). That after that event, I went to the dog park and walked another mile. That the rest of the day all I had was veggies, eggs, fruit and water.

The moral of the story: don’t assume someone is “lucky” or has a “good metabolism” when you don’t know the whole story. It takes hard work and good habits.
