I wanted a McDonalds’ soft ice cream cone for lunch. Normally, I would have one, but I would eat it so fast, that I would get brain freeze, so I’d have it done before I got back to the office. I would not enjoy it. I would feel guilty for wanting it. I would feel guilty for not being strong enough to refuse it for myself. And on top of that, I’d feel so bad, I’d eat way too much other food afterwards, to soothe my guilt and stuff the anger right out of me.
This time I said, “What the hell. I want a cone, I’ll have a cone.” I also bought enough chicken strips and french fries for three people. I enjoyed my cone. I tasted it. I ate it slowly. I was not done with it by the time I got back to my office, so I took it in with me and finished it slowly at my desk. Then, I threw out the french fries without eating any and only ate half of the chicken. And I am still really fully. But now I feel satisfied.

Hey you wanna be fitness buddies? I have found a sort of challenging course to go for walks everyday.
It is full of monkeys (as in little primates that fornicate in front of me without fear or favour) and geriatrics who are all a hell of lot healthier than me.
I go for my walk, it takes about 40 minutes...and then I feel sort of sated, saintly...I know this will be a long term thing, so I try to avoid checking myself out in the mirror to see if there is any difference.
Yes, I'll join you. In June, I started walking my dog before work each morning, 20 minutes. Also, two 10 minute breaks at woork to walk around the building. Taking time out to exercise has not been something I've done in along time so I'm easing into because I want this to be a longterm change, too. I don't have monkeys to look at though. In the morning I have big private boats in the marinas.
That sounds fantastic. Go at it Ness! I'm right there behind you (virtually, but still).
I went walking today. Sweated a lot. Haha. I love sweating a lot.
I walked this morning, in the rain, too. Not at work though, it was crazy. But I feel righteous for my morning walk. I thought about you. I wished there were monkies. I saw bunnies. Made my dog nuts.
