Yes, I meant something more like this. Seeing this fit guy at the gym is one thing - you sort of expect to see buff, fit people at the gym. But I saw him prepare a healthy snack that he'd obviously put so much thought into - bringing several different fruits and vegetables from home, putting them in the office refrigerator, standing there slicing and peeling them. All the same time-consuming attention and planning that for so long I didn't make time to do, and that (I reluctantly admit) I still sometimes resent having to do.
It's a little hard to articulate, but it was just nice to see someone like that doing things I associate so strongly with trying to lose weight. It helps me associate them with being that fit strong person I want to be. Let me put it this way - I have never been fit or trim. For me, vegetables and yogurt are the snacks of a fat woman on a diet, because every time I have eaten them that is what I have been.
My experience yesterday evening drove home the point that these are not just the snacks of a fat woman on a diet. They are the snacks of the trim, fit, strong person I want to be.
Does that make sense?
