Reverse Weight Loss Commercials Anyone?

I hate weight loss commercials. Especially since most of the people on them don’t even need to lose weight.
Tonight, there was one on that went like this:
“I work around food all the time. Before I knew it, I was over 300 pounds. That’s when I realized I needed to do something about my weight.”
It really [...]

What the birdie told me

“You Know”
by Pivitplex
It’s dark in this valley, really.
I can’t see the sky spite the trees.
Wouldn’t fall so easy, maybe,
if I would just stay down on my knees.
Now I sit with my head in my hands
and I stare at the tear stained sand.
Don’t you know, man, I heard what you said,
but it got lost in that [...]

I thought I’d write an epiphany

“So Far So Bad”
by Five Iron Frenzy
We thought we’d write a song
about all of the problems inherent in the industry,
it was going to be an exposé written in unblemished symmetry.
We were going to have our glorious exit,
an admonition and an encore,
we were going to make a point to the whole world,
but no one wants to [...]

Where is your boy tonight?

“Fight To Save Your Life”
by Eleventyseven
Don’t believe in everything that people try to tell you
And don’t buy into everything the market tries to sell you
They have no clue what’s good for you
When time is done and hope is gone
We’ll still hold on to the truth
Join the fight to save your life
Don’t leave it up to [...]

Glaring me in the face

I decided I really don’t care for writing down everything I eat. It’s embarrasing and awkward. And I feel like it’s sitting there on paper, telling me how rotten I’ve done. It’s also confusing. I feel like I’ve eaten a ton today. And really, I have. I’ve had 700 calories. But when I see it [...]

Post Nutritonist Appointment Thoughts

“Zero”
by Hawk Nelson
Your Life dreams are shattered,
Now you’re gone away.
We’ve cried here for hours,
And the hours turn to days.
We know you regret this,
Leaving us here,
With portraits and memories
That we’ve held so dear.
When I hear your name, it’s not the same.
No matter what they say, I’m not okay.
And we started at zero, and went different ways.
Now [...]

Pre-Appointment Jitters

I’m in bed now, using my brand new laptop that I’m divinely ecstatic about. Though, to be more specific, I’m in my parents’ bed. My dad offered to sleep in the living room so I could sleep in their bed since my bed is an air mattress and hard to get in and out of [...]

Well there you have it…

So, I did it. I set up an appointment with a nutritionist. I meet with her tomorrow, the 15th, at 2pm. I’m really, very nervous. I didn’t do well with seeing my last nutritionist. I found the appointments frustrating and very triggering and like we were constantly talking in circles.
However, I need to stop binging [...]

Congratulations, It’s a Nutritionist!

Tara and I went to the gym at 6 this morning. We did the treadmills for a while and then I swam laps. We got home after 8. I hadn’t set up an appointment with my nutritionist today because I thought we got paid on Friday, but (Surprise!) we got paid today. So [...]
