Turns out, it is harder to do the very thing I didn’t want to do in the first place – deny myself some future food pleasure – than it is to be fatter. It is a consequence that has the leverage to get me to go more out of my way to only overspend on things that, after the fact, will have been worth the effort of the payback. Think about it…if being overweight were enough of a price, more people would be thin.
Case in point: I still own the guitar I bought myself with babysitting money in 9th grade. It was a good Goya folk guitar; cost lots of babysitting hours. If my parents had bought that for me, it would never have made it through three colleges, across the Atlantic a few times and still be in my attic in near mint condition at the age of 56.
