Is Real Life Just A Game?

As I sit here in a Coffee Bean with my parfait and iced coffee with my best friend, I think, Life is a little mind game.
My goal is, of course, the weight loss. But another goal is to figure myself out. Where I see myself in the many years to come. To defeat the evil junk food monsters and stress demons inside your mind game. And you need to gain points to encourage yourself and motivate you to defeat them. It's a whole lot harder to come across the monsters and demons than it is to find some encouragement. But when you do defeat them or find those points, you reach another level. A new high in the mind.
Not to mention the other things that get in the way of your goals. Like, oh I don't know, boys! They just pop up on your trail and leap into your mind and your heart. I mean come on, it's like cheating in your game. It tends to take you off your path and it can be very frustrating.

I'm just going through a lot. A ton of stuff to think about. The expenses of life. The responsibility of having a car of your own. Having to learn a whole new world of college and growing up. My 1 year with My Mission To Change is in 2 days. I will have to celebrate! My accomplishments and how far I've gotten, and how many readers I have. It will all be celebrated with a lovely blog and a special day for me.

Until then, I will be defeating the monsters in my mind some more and head to the gym.
