So, today I came home from work early with a nasty migraine. It poured for the third day in a row. I STILL made it to the gym. Now, people are under the misconception that this means Im demonstrating something akin to willpower. This is not the case. Lemme splain. I do not have willpower. A green ring will never chose me as the best representative of willpower in sector 2814. A red ring, maybe. An orange ring, almost certainly, but never a green. However, I have been me for 42 years, and I know how to work around my own hang-ups. How to use my character weaknesses as strengths. Several years back I was diagnosed as within the autistic spectrum. This made me happy because 1) it explained quite a few things and 2) it was the only time I was ever referred to as Highly Functioning. Anyway, I have gone to the gym 3 days a week for several weeks. This has made it a pattern, a routine. At this point, I pathologically NEED to go to the gym on those three days each week. I get all angsty and panicky if I dont. So, I go, despite headaches and foul weather. Also, I am a pack-rat, a hoarder by nature. So, how do I cut-back on Soda? I keep a 20 oz bottle of Vanilla Coke at work. Its the only bottle I have. I want it to last. I keep saving it to go with that perfect lunch that really needs soda. However, I keep eating peanut butter and jelly for lunch, so the soda remains unopened and undrunk. So, you see, I dont have any willpower, just creative neurosis.
