Frozen Custard and Friday Fish Fry
No more! Dear god! No more! I can resist most of the cheese, and even most of the fish fry (since I am always wary of eating too much fat at one sitting, due to my gallbladder, even though I love fried perch with tartar sauce and french fries) and now that Ian's gone I am no longer forced into eating frozen custard all the time. But I'm still not on a reasonable eating schedule.
At least today I have a house full of groceries, mostly very sensible, and I can start trying to get ahold of myself.
One thing that I am doing is taking the stairs up to my office. It's on the third floor. I know it's a little thing, but it's the little things that count--they help me to be mindful of the other little things. Which in turn add up to be big things. See how that works?

Okay, it's time to get back on that wagon!
I've been a lot more conscious of my food choices in the past few days. Trying to avoid the constant rain of fried foods and snack foods and candy foods in favor of eating more healthfully.
Today, I haven't eaten at all yet. I'm at that stage where unless I feel very comfortable in my food choice, I don't want to eat. And of course now I'm at the point in the day where I feel like I can eat anything because I've starved myself to this point. I need to get a little more organized about buying food and bringing it to work with me.
Also, I need to figure out where I can get a good salad. People don't eat salads around here. And what's really sad is that I don't think anyone in Wisconsin has ever eaten a turkey burger. Since I've moved here I've had great sushi more than once, but turkey burgers are nowhere to be found. Sob!
Okay this is a little disjointed because I'm hungry. I ran out of granola bars, which I was keeping in my desk to tide me over. But they're gone, because unfortunately it's really easy to eat two or three granola bars, and they're not exactly apples, in terms of caloric content. Hey, I should buy apples!

Journal Quote of the Day
"I guess the bad karma of lying skipped my aunt and landed on me because not only did I have to ride a hobby horse around the restaurant while singing happy birthday to myself, but no chocolate cake was ever delivered to our table. It was a very sad meal."
