So, within the last 4 hours I learned of a nifty little gadget called the GoWearFit. It is very similar (actually identical) to the BodyBugg from The Biggest Loser. See, I am all about gadgets - love, love, love me some gadgets. And I love statistics - not so much the college course version (totally dropped that class 2 weeks in) - but the random stats involving me, my body, calories in, calories out = BRING IT ON! And in truth this is probably a good thing cause I honestly believe it helps keep me on track.
Okay, back to the gadget. I discovered that it existed, read some reviews, did a little comparing and then dropped 300 bucks on it. $260 (cause I HAD to have the optional display) + Tax (damn the man) + $25 (cause I have to pay extra for 2 Day shipping).
I do not have buyers remorse. I am VERY excited about this little piece of gadgetry - did I mention it monitors the efficiency of your sleep??? I will be very excited to report on it once I have received it and given it a little use. The thing that is getting to me right now and the reason for this post is that ALL of this happened in a matter of an hour. I saw it, I drop 3 bills on it and I began the wait for it - in less than an hour from start to finish.
Houston, we have a problem.
Hi, my name is Fatty and I am an InstantGratificationAholic.
I like it, I want it, I have to have it now. NOW.
This isn't always a bad thing. I plan on loving my new gadget and I really feel like I will. Sure, some of my instant gratifying as turned out poorly, but for the most part it is what it is and I have come to accept it.
BUT - the instant gratification as it relates to the crap I put in my mouth, is failing me miserably.
Reason #43 - I like it, I want it, I have to have it now.
For the most part - I do not think before I eat. It looks good, I know it tastes good - so why the hell shouldn't I just eat it?? I can't say no to myself. I cannot deny the spoiled fat girl who lives in my guts!! She is making me a FAT ASS and that is making me sick!!
I do not want to die a fat ass. I do not want to live a fat ass. I want to live like someone in control of herself. Someone who can tell herself NO and stick with it. Someone who doesn't make excuses so she CAN eat that whole damn box of mac n cheese. I want to be healthy and fit and I want to be able to walk down a quiet hallway and not have to listen to the symphony that is my inner thighs rubbing together.
Oh my goodness. You hit the nail right on the head. I feel ya on the struggle.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about the new gadget!
I have always felt that life is too short to eat food I don't like, so I am made of the same cloth as you! If I'm gonna eat healthy food (and I am), it simply HAS to taste good. And, yes, the gadget sounds addictively cool. Look forward to your review!
