I think there needs to be a thread where we talk about the ironies that we have encountered.
I wanted to start this thread because of something I realized.
My sister, who is a huge health freaks, wants me to diet. I'm not even that heavy-about 135 pounds or so-and yet she thinks my lifestyle could be better. She thinks I eat too much sugar and don't exercise. Which is true, actually, but get this. She says that anything with sugar needs to be taken away from our house and we should be forced to eat vegetables and sh*t. She thinks I'd be "too tempted" and all that nonsense.
Meanwhile, she has ADMITTED that she is tempted by sugar. That's fine, but get this. I haven't eaten any cookies, chips, or crackers for three days. And they are all over the house. Why? Because, for the last few days, I felt like eating healthy for a little bit. And I'm not tempted at all.
So, she's telling ME that I would be TOO TEMPTED with junk food around and WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE HEALTHY IF I AM TEMPTED but meanwhile SHE'S the one who has ADMITTED to being tempted with junk food in front of her face while I'M the one who hasn't been tempted in the last THREE DAYS.
My point being that, if I really believed that I was unhealthy, I could probably change my lifestyle quite easily with or without candy being waved at my face. It's Ironic that she's the "healthy one" while being tempted by something I haven't even eaten in three days, and she thinks that I'm unhealthy and needs sugar taken away from me for me to be thin and all that sh*t. Uh, no, I just need to be at a point where I think my actual health is in immediate danger.
I can try to avoid Fires, but if there is a one, I won't sit around whining about how I didn't do well enough or that it was my fault or stand around thinking that the Fire is no harm - I'll try to stop it, and if it gets too serious, I'll save my own damn life. But, right now, I don't have to run away from a Fire that isn't even there.
