In my work we used to use the opposite expression to indicate an issue that was too minor to worry about...in other words it rounded to zero! The problem with this attitude was that more and more things that were simply bothersome started falling into this category, and eventually important details would be ignored.
It occurs to me that the same attitude could be dangerous to one's health. The truth of the matter is that every single calorie of energy consumed, that exceeds the calories expended, eventually adds up to a whole bunch of calories stored.
At this point I almost backspaced my way right out of this post. It wasn't working, as I'm pretty sure it sounds a bit arrogant.
In the end I decided just to leave it at that. I'm going to the fridge now, but I'm gonna take the long way around through the living room.

Good post even though you thought about taking it back. It doesn't sound arrogant to me at all. I also love the quote! It's really the best way to learn I think.

I like the post. Obvious reasons. My calorie storage capacity is legendary. For every 21 calories burned in my 10 minutes on the recumbent cycle, I ingest 100. After all, I earned the treat. Didn't I?
ReplyDeleteYou? Arrogant? An idiot maybe but not arrogant. I saw lots of that today and you are NOT it!
