Day 92 - Why would you do that?

WARNING: Rant in progress! I am standing firmly upon my soapbox (and it's a big soapbox)!

I have recently moved offices and have been parking in a different area of the parking lot at work for about 3 weeks now (this will become relevant in a second).

There is a nameless person at my office who had a heart attack about 3 years ago and had some stents put in to keep their arteries open and their heart functioning properly. Shortly after this operation, this person quit smoking at the request of their doctor as plaque build-up from years of cigarettes was the cause of the blockage which in turn caused the heart attack.

Within 6 months this person was smoking again, although I have no idea if the frequency had been reduced.

My rant today is that for the past 3 weeks, I have seen this person pull into the parking lot next to me, get out of their vehicle reeking of cigarette smoke, and carrying a Daylight Donuts bag! Every day for 3 weeks! I mean, I am all for people being able to do as they please and eat what they want and smoke if they want to......but come on! Does this person really think that this is the way to stay healthy. You've already had one heart attack, and you're still smoking and eating donut holes for breakfast every morning.

WHY?

And now for my disclaimer:

I am in no way saying that I am perfect because I quit smoking, far from it actually. I am in no way saying that my diet is perfect, again, far from it. But if I touch a hot stove and it burns me once, shame on the stove. I touch it twice knowing that it will burn me again, shame on me! I truly hope this person comes to the realization that these are not good choices for their health and well being.

Here's to making good choices in life.

God Bless,
The Quitter
