Sugar and I haven't broken up yet. She is sitting next to me at this very moment in a box of Nilla wafers (yes, she is small enough to fit in the box). She makes me so angry sometimes (now I think I kinda sound like a crazy person). But she really does make me angry and I'll say it loud even if I do sound crazy!! Sugar does not belong in any of the "important to our health" food groups unless it is in her natural form in fruit or something like that. She serves me no purpose other than to give me some quick, convenient satisfaction.
I'll keep y'all updated... cause somethings gotta happen soon.
On a sidenote: I can't stand it when I say that I have to start eating healthier food and cut back on the sugar, and the person I'm talking to says, "oh, you are so skinny! you don't even need to worry about that! you could stand to gain some weight!" ~ Guess what people... I may be thin, but don't call me "skinny", and me eating seven oreos is no better than you eating seven oreos. They are still unhealthy and when I eat them they fill me up for a short time and it is probably keeping me from getting my servings of fruits and veggies. So, next time I say to you that I need to watch what I eat, perhaps ask me what I usually eat throughout the day and then we'll see who is appalled at whose answer!
The sad part of all of this is that I am currently in school to become a Registered Deititian. It would be just horrible if I started gaining loads of pounds when in a few short years I'll be advising people on how to lead healthier lives through their diet. No one wants a 250lb woman claiming to be a "professional" to tell them to quit going through the drive through for breakfast while she is chomping on a steamy hash brown from McDonalds.
So, if I can't be a fat and be a dietitian, and I really want to be a dietitian... than I have to control my cravings for sugar... so that I don't get fat.
It's not about image people, it's about health (and a little about image).
Oh, and I am twenty-eight y.o. and starting to feel the little signs of getting older... including a bit of fat stores accumulating where they haven't before... and it REALLY freaks me out! Cause what's next? wrinkles and grey hair? achy joints? a hunchback? and don't I eventually start to shrink? Aaahhhh!!!
I digress.

Being skinny and healthy are 2 totally different animals.
While I haven't broken up with sugar, I have called it quits with high fructose corn syrup. I kicked it to the curb about 2 years ago, but we still see each other secretly when no one is looking. Splenda and I are still going steady.
I'm obsessed with nutrition and have considered going back to school to be a dietician, but have worried that I'm too fat to be taken seriously.
