Consumption

Here I am again at that point where I either need to buy some new clothes in a bigger size or find a job that allows me to wear sweatpants everyday. Okay, there may be a third option, but giving up slurpees just sounds unreasonable. Gas station food has been my primary food group for the last 12 months. Hmm I guess that's what happens when you spend 10-15 hours commuting each week.

The real problem is that I am unhappy with how I look right now and deep down I know it is because of my weight. Instead of avoiding the "treat cube" at work and packing my own lunch, I've dyed my hair twice in the last couple months and just this weekend, cut really short in hopes that I'd feel better. Well, it didn't work.

Today, I got a call from my doc who said my bad cholesterol is high and good cholesterol is low. Perhaps gaining 17 pounds in one year's time hasn't been the best for my confidence, but it most certainly has not been best for my health.

Off I go again trying to make better decisions about consuming food and not letting it consume me...
