That Was Harder Than I Expected

I've developed lots of bad habits over the years. One of them is eating dinner whilst slumped on the couch watching television. I told myself that I was going to start eating dinner at the table, without the television on. It was harder than I thought. I suffered through three minutes and then turned on the radio. I just needed the background noise. And I didn't actually sit down at the table, but I did stand at the counter rather than slouching on the sofa.
