I know some people who seem only to eat because they have to and because of that, they make good, healthy choices about what they are consuming. I, on the other hand, eat for a million reasons other than the fact that it's required for life. As a matter of fact, embarrassingly enough, in my mind it's one of the joys of living life. Thus, a constant battle to lose weight, not drinking enough water and feeling way too full sometimes, are issues that I deal with.
Maybe part of the problem comes from the fact that I live in a town where the entertainment available is limited to going to the movies, a bowling ally, shopping and going out to eat. Well, here's the deal with those choices... There aren't often movies playing these days that are anything but trash, I stink at bowling and shopping requires me to spend waaaayyyy too much money. So, the city of Texarkana is forcing me to eat! ;) HA!
It amazes me how much my mood can change because of some type of food or drink. It's kind of pathetic! Ok, it's VERY pathetic! I drive into Starbucks grouchy, get to the window where the most precious and friendly lady is greeting me and giving me my coffee, and after one sip, there's a big stupid grin on my face! KARA!!! GET A LIFE!!! That lady is not my friend! She's paid to be nice to me! And that coffee is gonna be gone in 5 mins! AND it cost WAY to much! I'm supposed to be a smart person, but I'm overtaken and turn into a swooning idiot over a dang cup of coffee!!!
I have a problem. I know it, but I'm obviously not willing to do anything about it. I don't enjoy salads with leaves that look like they came off the shrubs in the front yard, boring grilled chicken breast or water "with lemon". I want spaghetti with meatballs, brownies, cheese on almost anything, everything my mom cooks, pancakes with syrup and the list could go on for days! I'm out of control...
But, does it make you judge me any less to know that I've been going to the gym in the mornings at 5:30?! BTW, this blog brought to you courtesy of the most delicious sandwich made from left over roast I cooked a couple of days ago... I'm full and I'm happy.

I'm having chicken lo-mein, steamed potstickers (with spicy soy), and an egg roll for dinner tonite. I have been thinking about it since this morning as I drank my senseo dark roast coffee with HEAVY cream and dulce de leche. I can't concentrate!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. I knew Robyn was going to relate. :-) Loved the Starbucks story! And I UN-embarrassingly agree with food being "one of the joys of living life." Why else would God have given us taste buds?!?!
ReplyDeleteBe glad Texarkana doesn't have a Taco Cabana. (Open 24 hours AND they serve breakfast!) You'd have an even more difficult time. ;-)
