This bothered me all the way to work. I used the words "being good" in my earlier blog post.
There is nothing about this that has anything to do with "being good" or "being bad," which is why I put those words in quotation marks. Yet, sometimes, when I am not on program and I wish I was I do say to myself, "I will be good today." Ugh. That implies so much. That implies that I am a better person when I am on program, which implies that I am a worse person when I am off program. It does not make me a better person to eat organic kale and pasture raised chicken rather than cookies and ice cream. It makes me a healthier person, but not a better person.
I don't know why I felt like I needed to clarify this point, but I did feel that need; hence this post script. Maybe I'll stew about this today and write more about it tomorrow. Then again, maybe I won't. It's always difficult to predict what will be on my mind tomorrow morning. All I know is now that I have this off my chest I need to balance the checkbooks and update my cash forecast.
Have a great day!
