Jesus I'm fat.
While I'm not big on feeling like I have to look a certain way, I can't say I'm happy with the growing flab around my stomach and my ever weakening ability to fit into my clothes. I'm fat. I always get mad at people who say that about themselves but its true.
I watched a report on Frontline [PBS] about obesity. Right now the first thing most Doctors do is compute your Body Mass Index and then look a little chart to see if you're fat. Its based mainly on weight and height.
Well guess what kids, I'm overweight. AND! I'm literally a few pounds away from obese. Damn. So I took a trip to the new and improved Food Guide Pyramid and now I have a vauge idea of what I should be eating, and how much of it to eat. Right now it seems like more than I currantly eat, but I'm positive its less. Its just more of things I very rarely eat.
Looking back on my eating habbits for my whole life, I really don't understand why I don't get sick all the time, or haven't had a heart attack yet. It makes me nervous. Lots of times I think, I must be on the verge of one.
Now I know to many it might seem like I'm exagerating things. I'm only 23. But I also live in the current society. Being 23 back in the 50s really did mean you wouldn't have a heart attack until you were much older. But back then people did more stuff like, work hard, go outside, fight wars, and build things. I mostly watch my Tivo, drive to school and type stupid things in this blog. Damn.
Please, to anyone who reads this, take it simply as what it is.... one of those stupid "I'm going to change my life" blog entries. Its damn near New Years Resolution time again. I wonder if this year the cool thing to do will be to be too cool for resolutions. I guess we'll see.
BTW I'm going to try and lose 45 pounds between now and some time later. That's a lot of Mike Schenck to say goodbye to.
