Crazy coincidence today
Hello, all!
Something kinda (at the time) discouraging happened today, but I thought about it and I find it more motivating than anything else!
225 lbs now, aiming for 165 lbs. I would stop at a fast food place almost everyday after work and would get a large combo with a shake and the same for my wife. Terrible for the wallet and terrible for our waistlines. The top button on my work pants doesn't even button down anymore, and I hate that. So we decided to stop eating out, and limit it to a low cal option once a month.
So today on the drive home I got that craving. I see Whataburger in the distance and I begin to justify it to myself.
"It'll be the last time."
"It'll be so glorious going down."
"You've worked out everyday since Monday, you can reward yourself!"
And then I had a memory:
Putting my pants on this morning and sighing because the top button still squeezed me too much when attempting to button it.
I even have to undo my pants on the drive home so that I can sit relaxed without the waistline pinching me.
So I was strong and went straight home. I felt good about my decision, so I'm telling my wife this story as I lean back in the dining room chair.
~CRACK~
Nothing actually broke off, but the backrest of the chair cracked near the seat and was noticably wobbly.
At the time I felt like I was just this huge mess that is literally too heavy for his chairs. But now I realize, the results of my work aren't going to be evident for a good while, and I probably would have damaged the chair more if I actually did pull into that drive thru! Plus, I have a new memory to go to when I start having that craving again.
We had a laugh about it, so I hope you'll find it amusing too!
