Wondering if I am guilty of being a hypocrite. It seems that once you "go public" with your feelings you feel so vulnerable. Today I took the kids through a fast food drive-thru. And we ate meat. I did it because we were tired, starving and had more errands to run. On the rush out the door I forgot to pack a lunch. We went to get the kids their H1N1 flu shots, and my son's was not entirely expected. I was hoping they would take him, but we only had an appointment for his little sister. They took him in no problem, although he did not appreciate the good fortune. In any event, I got caught in a rain of my own contempt.
As I sat in my car eating the fast food fare, and talking to my husband via cell phone I wondered just how much of a hypocrite I am and what people would say if they could see me. I know what some would say, but what about the others, the opinions that I care about.
So it makes me want to recant a bit. To say I'm not ALWAYS opposed to choosing the lazy way out. And it's possible you may run into me in a Walmart or dollar store. But I do truly and honestly believe that it's necessary to put serious thought into it. Choose not to do fast food more often, choose to give home made more often, choose to walk more often. It's the little things that really do add up. If you can answer to yourself that you've made the right choice, than that's what matters. But if you feel as though you are on auto-pilot and don't know what you spent that $230 on at the department store, and are reading the fast food menu and shaking your head - maybe it's time to rethink your strategy?
