It's official. I'm going on my - wait for it -
first
diet
ever.
And a waaay overdue one, at that. I'm not even sure what I'll do yet exactly...I guess cutting off excess sweets and snacks that are high in saturated fat, sugar, sodium, and cholesterol might help. Oh how I'll miss you, 25%-daily-value-saturated-fat-goodness that is Samanco (Korean red bean and vanilla ice cream sandwich wrapped in an ice-cream like cover that looks a little too realistically like a fish - basically HEAVEN in a wrapper). Also, I think (gosh, this must be the fifth time I've promised myself this) I'm going to try to eat three meals a day. No, the problem isn't that I eat more, it's that I eat less...I usually wake up in time for my 12pm class, eat a late lunch, and then a late dinner, and I'm very drawn to my bed during the in-between hours. So priority #2: raise up that metabolism that used to be super speedy. And then, well, sigh - exercise. The running. And the sadly neglected exercise ball.
Why am I doing all this out of the blue? Believe me, it is NOT about the numbers.
I mean, yes, I have gained a sort of half-freshman fifteen (please keep in mind that up till freshman year, I gained on average 2-3 pounds per year), but I really could care less about the increase of digits. What I DO care about it not fitting into my "regular sizes", struggling to fasten those buttons, moving up two belt holes, hiding the beluga of a bulge, and my rolls folding and touching each other when I try to stretch. Also, panting after going up and down the stairs is depressing, to say the least.
Please don't call me anorexic - if you know me, you'll know I am haaardly the type. Honestly, it's just that I realized I've been committing (among many others, of course) two of the "seven deadly sins" in excess: sloth and gluttony. Yuck. So I mean, I don't want to get all calorie-counter on everyone, just...successfully fit into my first size estimate at Target, you know you know?
On other notes (dang I really have to pee now (I also realized that I abuse the use of parentheses)) -
I think I'm going to start another blog soon. A food, clothes, photos (maybe?) kind of blog. About my lame life of no travels whatsoever. I am excited.
I think I was going to say some more, but totally forgot. Oh well. It is late, and I need to brush and floss (remember to floss, children!) and sleep so I can try to run tomorrow before church.
Hmm. That's a long shot.
Michelle?? DIET??
