Discounts & Deals - Sign Up!Envious of a Stranger.
Short Blonde hair blowing in the wind. Sunglasses covering her eyes. Bag of groceries in her one hand. Keys in her other hand. Pastry in her mouth so she was able to open her car door. There you have it, a normal woman. Living the conventional life. A life that probably lacks orderly. A life that seems so carefree.
It was the pastry in her mouth that caught my attention. That first indicated that she might be a busy mother trying to rush to the store so she would have food to prepare for her Family's dinner. She was too busy that she didn't have lunch so she grabbed a pastry from the bakery. That's my theory anyways.
I was envious of the fact that she was able to eat the pastry and not seem to care. Im very envious of carefree people, big or small. If you would offer me a pastry, I would immediately turn you down. Fresh, old and stale the answer would still be no.
I have gotten so used to my lifestyle that I eat food that would not taste good to others but I eat it for the nutrition. Nothing against pastries. I just feel that they have no nutrients that your body would really need. The sugar? Will end up giving you a crash. If I were her, I would have grabbed a few banana's. And that would have been my snack on the way home. Who knows maybe that was her one cheat food. But she had me fooled.
I don't know if I will ever go back to that normal lifestyle. I would like to think that I would not. But who knows. One day I may get tired of cooking chicken and egg whites all the time. I may get tired of scooping that protein and the sound of the blender. Washing the blender after every use. I may get tired of putting those running sneakers on. One day I may children and be too busy to go to the gym. The baby weight will triple. One day I will have no motivation left because I am no longer young. And one day some girl will be envious of my lifestyle.
I noticed a big chunk of the women on this site are older than 30 or 40 and have kids. Having kids seems to motivate them to get their bodies back. Before kids they have less reason to be here. But once they get started, nothing stops them.
We value what we don't have highly. Often we missed all the good we do have. I fully understand the feeling and temptation of a "normal" lifestyle of the majority. However, the important question is, "what is your highest value?"
We always MAKE time to do what we value the most. "Too busy to go to the gym" is just an excuse after all.
"You're beautiful no matter what they say." other "normal" people are envious of your body, I'm quite sure.
We all notice things what we want to do from time to time. I am frugal, I noticed people wasting money and not caring to budget. But like you said you enjoy your life style.
Love the post because it's true in so many ways (eg chicken, egg whites and blenders).
Envy is a two way street.
Everybody is different! I have no "sweet tooth" and could care less about pastries and such.
There’s quite a bit of romance around this pastry! You write it so eloquently but I see other conclusions.
I think she was holding the pastry in her mouth because her feet were busy…
Sounds like how I used to eat. I'm so glad that I finally got into the habit of healthy, clean eating. That kind of food doesn't even taste good anymore.
You are the one to be envied. Absolutely anybody can grab a pastry but it takes someone with willpower to turn it down and make the wise choice.
I believe in being "normal" at least one day a week. Even at my leanest, I treated myself on Saturdays. I am starting back on the lean and clean diet, but I will always have my treat. Just a personal choice, but as an RN, I have seen on a daily basis that life is too short not to enjoy the sweeter things in life on occasion. Unless I am preparing for photos, or something big...I treat myself on Saturdays. Pastry's....mmmmmmm...lol
