Went to Subway yesterday. In my head, the idea was I'll have a Subway sandwich, no mayo, no cheese... you know.. Subway to lose weight. Like the enormous cut out of the guy that stares at you when you go there. He once was fat... but ate Subway... and now.... Anyway.... so I'm looking at the prices and notice that it is$3.99 for 6 inch and $5 for a foot long. Does this make any sense, to anyone? Well, the long and the short of it is that you can't get a turkey sandwich for $5... all the others.. ham, italian..... but not turkey. I of course had to say something about how that didn't make any sense to me. So I said... "I'll have a 6 inch turkey on wheat." And he says....."No, I'll just give you a foot long." I said..."why would you do that?" He said...."You just seem like you want it."
Wouldn't life be something if you just had to seem like you wanted something to get it? The funny thing is.... I didn't really want it. I wanted a 6 inch on wheat and I walked out with a foot long with cheese, and avacodo. Made it into a meal with chips and spent $8 on lunch instead of $3.99. And the other half of my sandwich is now soggy in my refrigerator.

will say that I did put my theory into practice later in the day. I went into Jay's office, and seemed to want a Starbucks... and low and behold 15 minutes later.... he brought me one! Today I am going to seem like I want a new car and see what happens.

i bet it was the tall white guy with dark brown hair from subway. he is always crackin jokes at me.
I think someone wrote a book about that positive thinking thing... The Secret... you imagine what you want, and you'll get it.
The Bible says..."As a man thinks in his heart so is he"
So I'm thinking that I have a 36-24-36 body and oh my now I'm waiting for the reality!! I'll let you know when it arrives!!!
Ah Since Jos mentioned The Secret:
Guess I've been thinking about this all wrong!!! I watched this on Oprah (not all the time, don't y'all start jumping on me at once and yes, real guys do watch occasional Oprah for inspiration). It talked about The Secret and one of the authors said that the 'universe' is like a restaurant...you come in and you order what you want, and supposedly 'it' gives you your order. So if you keep 'ordering' (read: thinking negatively) bad stuff (like uhmm..I'm gonna stay single and die alone, nobody likes me), the universe will give what you want.
Of course as we know, that's not true and we are not bound by the rules of the "Universe"...I think.
I think I'm going to "seem like" I want a million dollars...let's see if I'm as good at this as you are.
if only it was that easy
you're right Tyler, that was the guy! He's pretty cool.

So if I get this right, I have to think long and hard about losing the weight I want to lose and it might happen? I keep blowing my diet thing out of the water every day. It's hard when my office has a chocolate bucket for Hershey minitures not 30 feet away from me.
Sorry about always posting anonymous I can't figure out this whole choose an identity thing.
