I am writing this post from pure hopelessness, I’m yearning for my long lost love, and I want nothing more than to take this pain away…. it’s just that I, I miss the shit out of some chips! To live in a world where chips don’t exist is like not living at all. If loving chips is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. You had me at “Ruffles.” I don’t care what kind of chips they are, it’s hard not to stare one right in the face and not grab it. Hot cheetos, Ruffles, Sour Cream Lays, Salsa garden Sun Chips, don’t you dare walk pass me with your deliciousness!
Is there something in your life you know you just need to give up? A toxic relationship, a bad habit, out of control spending, perhaps a smelly pair of sneakers? Anything?
It’s been two weeks since I gave these crispity creatures the boot, and although I feel like a champ for doing so, my heart is still crying out for them. Have you ever felt like giving up on something you worked so hard for, only because you get lost in the moment of the struggle? I have! And right around 2pm I start thinking about why I decided to give up chips in the first place. I try to convenience myself that this could in fact be the single most dumbest decision I have ever made. But like they say, once you have reached your goal you forget about the constant struggle and just enjoy the outcome. Who’s they? Wait, why are you asking me for? I can only wrap my brain around a big bag of Funyuns right about now.
Anyways, like I was saying, it’s hard to think about the process and it’s so easy to want to give up, but we can’t. There comes a time in your life where all you want to do is be a better you, and going through the motions is just a part of growing up. The main reason why I keep going is because I can see progress, but think about the people that don’t see any progress and have to rely strictly on Faith. If you are trying to overcome something, keep your mind focused on the reasons why you are fighting to begin with. Imagine yourself already in the “Success Stage” and keep your self optimistic through the “Pushing stage”.
Sure chips are little crisps of heaven and if I died right now and reached the gates of heaven I would ask Jesus if they had chips in queso in there, but the reasons for giving them up are so much more important to me. What is important to you? What are the reasons for giving something up in the first place? This should be your main focus, concentrate on what your life will look like 30 days from the day you have reached your goal, that’s the life you worked so hard for and I promise you the struggle will become a distant memory.
Happy “Drop that bag of chips” DAY!
