Liars and Junkfood

Here’s what I want to know. Does anyone in America, that can afford junk food, subsist on purely healthy, whole foods? Is that even possible? When I read and hear that we’re supposed to eat 6 small meals a day I have to laugh. What Mother of small children has time to cook and clean up 6 meals a day! Even if I didn’t have kids, which I don’t this week except for one small baby child, I still wouldn’t want to take time out of my day for 6 meals. In fact, I just came home from the grocery store with frozen pizza and pot pie so I wouldn’t have to cook for myself every day. Cooking for yourself is just sad.

I think eating healthy sounds great but there just isn’t enough excitement in whole foods to make me want to eat them. I think I’d rather starve than sit down to a meal of dry chicken breast and veggies. Which is what I'd be doing anyway even if I ate the boring meal. I would feel full after eating it but then I'd be hungry again 2 hours later. Hence, eating 6 meals a day. It takes some fat in my food to get me from one meal to the next.

I’ve been thinking today about getting happy with my fatness. I’ve been pretty content these last couple years but lately I’ve been tired of being fat. That’s all behind me now. Life is too short to worry about things like clothes, looking good, eating right. I mean really. Aside from my run this morning making me ill for the rest of the day, it cut into my blog, nap, read time. Seriously, I’m too busy reading and napping to really care if I look good in a swimsuit.

Do you see what a big liar I am? There isn't a woman alive who doesn't care what she looks like in a swimsuit. I'll keep lying to myself though to see if it works.

Ok, the truth is, I have Lovely’s cold and I’m just plain feeling like crap today. Food doesn’t taste good and I have a headache that my nap didn’t get rid of. I ventured out in the heat and it about did me in. Love’s back in bed so now I’m going to relax on the couch and design a closet or two while I think about what kind of junk food I can conjure up after my way too healthy dinner of chicken tacos.
