You Can Stop Telling Me What To Do Already
I’m doing everything Medium tells me to, starting today.
Today is the day I start creating my email list, Shaunta Grimes and Shannon Ashley. You can stop pushing now. (Not really. Push away. Please!).
I promise to work out, fearlessly, Ashley Alt. Although it won’t be spin cycling, there is a recumbent bike in my apartment gym. Or there was, the last time I was there six months ago. Goals.
I will start my new diet, as soon as I can decide which one, Markham Heid. Low carb has always worked best for me to lose those stubborn 20 pounds, gain them back, and lose them again 20 years later, Dr. David Ludwig. There’s something about the number 20.
But maybe Keto? Or 5:2 fasting, Dave Wentworth? Carnivore diet, Andy Lindquist? Quickly, I need advice on how to make decisions!
Where are you when I need you Rachel Clements? There you are! Thank you for sharing your parents’ admonition that “More freedom comes with more responsibility,’ or “Don’t screw this up.” What if I screw up dieting? Is that even possible? Yes, if I don’t decide which one. As you said, “…and indecision is a real b*tch.”
Let’s put dieting on the back burner for now (see what I did there?). I promise not to procrastinate today.
