Willpower

This may seem an odd photo to post. It’s not pretty, it’s scenic, it’s not even that funny. But for me this picture shows my willpower.

That $2 coin has been sitting on the top of my monitor stand at work for two weeks now. ‘So what?’ I hear you say.

Well normally that $2 coin would be snapped up by me in an instant to go and buy a can of Coke from the vending machine up the corridor when I get an urge for sugar – which was occurring daily for a while there. The fact that I see that coin there everyday, knowing I could use it to buy a can of Coke but choosing not to is something I am very proud of at the moment.

It’s a small thing, but drinking less Coke will help with overall fitness and physique but more importantly it’s showing I am not reliant on it, not addicted to it and able to stay strong when it would be easier to give in.
