Enlightenment via Lois C.K.

So I'm sitting here at Jiffy Lube patiently awaiting my oil change (which I was told would be done at least 30min ago...) and I came across that YouTube gem.  I already loved Louis C.K, but now I love him that much more!  For those of you with ADHD (like me),I know it's long! Totally worth it! I know his beef is with cell phones, but I also think the same argument can be made against food.  I think a lot if people, myself included, don't know how to just sit there alone and be alive.  I'm a constant fidgeter, cell phone checker, make sure the food in the fridge is still the same, wondering snacker.  I think this is where a lot of people get themselves into trouble.  You're alone, feeling lonely, nothing to do (or at least that you want to do), and you've got a kitchen full of food "friends". Today in my instance, I was alone in the work room, waiting for the ancient printer to spit out my report eyeballing a tray full of candy.  Ok...maybe more than eyeballing...I may or may not have eaten 6-9 gobstoppers :( All because I couldn't sit in there and just do nothing and there was no one there to judge me.  It's ok to be alone and it's ok to be sad about being alone.  Food is not my friend.  My cell phone is not my friend.  I am really going to challenge myself to just be every once and a while.  Just me...being a human, by myself.  I think/hope it will be a great way to learn more about myself.  BUT, I know it will be tricky, because I love that instant gradification of being around people (or reading about them on Facebook) or even the instant gradification of grabbing a snack (even if I don't need one).  

In other news....I can feel a pull up happening in my near future...expect a post...probably a video...maybe a party :)

Stay strong...put down your phone...and that sleeve of Girl Scout cookies (or gobstoppers)!
