I Chose THIS???

Missa over at Losing Ethel inspired this post with her comment in yesterday's post.

I wrote that my mom always said, "You're as happy as you want to be." I said I agreed with that *most* of the time. Missa wrote..."So by that logic, are we as fat as we want to be? Maybe so!!"

Well, that got me to thinking. I think I am as fat as I want to be. I mean, I am changing now, but when I slip in my eats, don't exercise, blah, blah, blah...I am choosing to stay fat. I choose to drink Diet Coke instead of water even though I know I need the water. I chose to eat waffles with butter and syrup this morning even though I KNOW it will not help me reach my goal. I choose to take bites of cake, candy, etc. even though I know it is the last thing I need to do.

But, I can choose the other way too. I will choose the fruits, veggies, water, exercise. I am choosing to work toward my goal. Now, that's a good choice.

Thanks, Missa!

What do you think about this logic?  You're as happy as you want to be. You're as thin/fat as you want to be. I want to hear what you think.


Choosing Wisely,
