Don't tell me what to do >.>

A couple of weeks back I started this medical trial about weightloss. It runs over 1½ years and you are followed by a dietician throughout the entire process. You get to stab yourself with a needle once a week for all that time, yay! 

Anyways, for this trial, I had to pick three longterm goals that I want to achieve over the course of these 1½ years. Some of the suggested goals were things like "I want to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without feeling out of breath" and "I want to be able to swim 400 metres without stopping". While I am sure that would be great goals for some (i.e. those so limited by their weight that they can't do anything today), I am lucky enough to be able to already do all those things. I still had to pick three longterm goals, though, and the conversation went like this: 

 

Ida: "So... can it be weird things?" 

Dietician: "I can be anything you want."

Ida: "Okay, I wanna learn how to do the splits!"

Dietician: "... Okay... ... ... can you think of anything else you might want to do?"

 

So now I am working on doing the splits cause that lady, I will get these splits down and I will show her. And when I can actually do them, I will upload a photo here for proof too! 

She can't tell me it can be anything and then disapprove of my longterm goal. 

D: 

IMMA DO THE SPLITS LADY, YOU CAN'T STOP ME!

So I work in the nutrition field, and when we are helping people reach their fitness/weight goals, we have them make goals similar to those too. And yeah, people will be like, "I wanna be able to walk 15mins without getting winded" or "I wannna eat more veggies" or whatever. But then we'll get people that will seriously say stuff like, "so you know that Bruce Lee movie where...?" Or "you know how Margot Robbie learned gymnastics for suicide squad?"

And you know what? We let them add those goals because if that's what's gonna motivate them, and then let them be motivated!!!!

SO YOU BETTER LEARN THOSE SPLITS AND WHEN THAT YEAR AND A HALF IS DONE, YOU MARCH UP TO THAT DIETITIAN, LOOK HER DEAD IN THE EYE, AND DROP DOWN AND DO THE SPLITS. You got this
