i used to keep a 12-pack next to my desk for late ranked matches. not even a party thing, just autopilot: sip between rounds, crush the can, start another. the swap started as a dumb experiment — seltzer first, then water with those little flavor drops — and somehow it stuck after i quit that game entirely. i'm down 91 lbs from my highest, and i'm about 5 lbs from a goal i wrote on a sticky note when i genuinely thought i'd never get under 200. not calling it done yet. under 10 lbs has felt like it can disappear after one salty dinner, and i'm not trying to jinx it. still, the habit outlived the game, which feels weirdly important. anyone else have a small swap that turned into the main thing holding the routine together?
