Thought that was some type of engine or brake component! Lol
Yeah living in the moment is good but what many people don’t realize is that many people that are successful struggle for a long time through the difficulties to knowingly enjoy things later on in life if they are able to attain success. It’s not guaranteed for sure but dedication and commitment can go a long way to goals, as long as those goals aren’t too lofty in most cases.
We too have started to trim the diets a bit to lose a few pounds. I’m 6 or so pounds more than where I want to be and normally are and 15 pounds from my best weight ratio. I’d love to get back there if I could but one thing is for sure, the diet is a significant part of that! Walking and exercising more certainly helps too lol but those things are hard because things like donuts and all that are tempting! :D we live near a donut shop that makes fresh donuts every day it’s fucking brutal! Going for a walk and smelling them making donuts lol
And I think that the lack of "guarantee" is what so many people fear, so they choose to diminish the future value, to get the guarantee now - even if it is a lesser result.
It reminds me of the joke of God creating mana and woman and having two attributes left. He asks, "so who want to pee standing up?" and Adam jumps in first and takes it. Then god says, "So Eve, you get multiple orgasms".
6 pounds only? I would be ecstatic! :D
I think I am about 30 pounds from ideal athletic - but would be happy to lose 15-20.
Fresh donuts close by would kill me!
Good luck on the journey - it is worth it, when it happens :)
