Not to get too spiritual here, I have lost some of the belief in "coincidences." Scientifically, one could simply say by making that shift in perception, I'm noticing more coincidences not that there actually are any more. Ultimately it doesn't really matter...
Here's an example. I went to Wendy's today for dinner since I was going to be at the office until late tonight. They apparently double made my order so I walked home two two massive burgers and a small mountain of fries. Score! I think to myself although my guy was like, "Dude. Just drop that extra bag off at your local neighborhood bum or dump it in the trash. You don't need all that food."
Made it back to work. Since I find it hard to eat and work, I fired up Lifehacker.com and unwrap a big ol' burger. It then pummeled me with articles about weight loss. "Eat better food and you can lose weight!" "Four food tricks to lose weight." "The five best foods to stock your fridge with." etc.
My gut was like, "Well damn... Maybe I shouldn't eat this burger." I did anyway. "Well, I should at least lay off the fries." I didn't eat them all. "Well, let's not eat the frosty then." It's gone. "...You're not seriously about to eat that other burger, are you?" Okay. I finally stopped.
But what the hell? I do control my own actions, right? *sigh* Apparently not well enough.
There must be a way to fix this.
