Morning feed

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I always look forward to waking up in the mornings because I fully enjoy breakfast foods over anything else. I love the smell of warm bread, hearty hot cereals, fresh fruits, brewing coffee, and the sizzle of eggs and sausage in the morning. Ahhhh...But most of you might wonder what the picture of the Almond Butter is doing at the right of this blog. Well this post isn't likely to be about morning foods, but while I was sitting in my couch today watching morning cartoons (yes!) I had a jar of almond butter and I was eating straight out of the jar with a spoon. I have a way with peanut/almond/cashew butters. I would put in my oatmeals in the morning, place a smoonful in smoothies, use it as a dip (fave is Oreos and pbj), or I'll just plain eat it straight from the jar until my tongue hurts! LOL

This had me wondering what other people's weird food habits were...

Oh also going completely off tangent, today while I was walking towards the Subway in the disgusting 80 something degrees of sweat and frizz (NYC is so notoriously humid in addition to the dirty heat from all the cars' exhaust) a lost tourist came up to me and asked me where Penn Station was. I looked at him with remorse because it was a REALLY long walk away, considering we were in Chinatown's Little Italy. But I had directed him to take the Subway. So while we were walking we made some small talk. He told me how he was from England and he had traveled from Boston to NYC to do some site seeing before he heads to the University of Arizona to get his phD in Pharmaceutical studies (wowwww). I was amazed at his little travels since all he had on him was a big leather backpack. So I asked him how he was liking NYC so far and he replied, "I love it, it's very lively". Meanwhile I had told him that I've always wanted to visit England but he told me straight up, "you're not missing anything here". Well what can I say, NYC is the microcosm of the world!!!! Tourists in NYC can be very annoying. They cause traffic jams swiping their metrocards in the subway (no doubt my new friend had swiped his card backwards when we arrived at the train station), they take up the entire sidewalks, and they clog up the street ends of Canal street buying fake designer bags off bootleggers. But needless to say I actually enjoy their company. It's like having a new neighbor over. So next time you see a lost tourist, offer them a free tour guide of your city. You'll learn so much about them and the intricacies of where they're from :)

But anyways (jumping off again lol) I'm currently reading a very interesting book and I'll update you more of my input on it next time. Until then I'm bearing one more month of this dreaded summer. Thirty one more days until I go back to Cuse. WOOOOOOOOO!

Size 0 is the New Size 8

On a quick note I apologize for not updating in awhile. I forgot my username and password...AGAIN.

So lately, I've been working my ass off at work and then running the Manhattan bridge with Lily right afterwards. It's tiring and I'm exhausted. I forgot how hard it was to lose weight. Besides the fact that you see terms related to weight loss and exercise, you bet I'm going to make comments about skinny bitches. -oh yeah

In the health clinic I'm currently working in over the

summer, almost the entire staff consists of skinny to moderate sized females. On an everyday basis I hear a lot of complaints about weight issues and today I've learned that a couple of my co-workers are engaged in a competition to see who loses the most weight by the end of the summer, and the loser treats to dinner. I mean I suppose it is a likely incentive to lose weight but on some occasions I see some of the girls really struggling to lose weight when in reality they are perfectly fine (I can say that right? Because these days when you say "fine" it means you're not hot or Megan Fox haha). Some would skip breakfast, lunch, or both. And by the end of the day they're starving so they binge on surgary junk.

But who am I to point out this problem right? I've had my fair share of faulty weight issues. In the past I would not tolerate to ingest anything past 4 grams of fat from real food in my mouth but I would settle for 16 grams of fat from junk food (cookies, cakes, pastries, ice cre

am, etc.). I've even tried banishing carbs from my diet... but that turned out terribly wrong because it made me eat twice as much than I normally would when I am exposed to carbs. It was frustrating trying so many different diets at once and in the end my regulatory and counter-regulatory hormones failed to balance my sugar level and chemical buildup.

Thankfully, I finally learned to appreciate food and I was introduced the wonders of exercise last summer. I was able to lose weight the right way last year and it made me enjoy exercising (such as jogging). BUT BIG BUTTTT... I gained it all back after being exposed to the Freshman15 curse. ughhh.. But hey that's just the cycle of life. But I am definitely taking it slow this time since I have pretty bad joints now from excessive running on hard pavement.

Over the past years girls have been feeling insecure about their body image. What used to be normal is considered fat. Even now I see that the new size 0 has turned to 00. That's right, two zeros. It's pretty much ridiculous seeing rail thin girls still having the energy to walk around. About 300 years ago, plump women were actually considered sexually attractive (now wouldn't that be a nice place to live in?). But in the end it all comes down to the nature of the country's culture. Which is why I'm really fed up with the whole concept of glorifying women based on the physical attributes and sexual encounters.

Really, when will we all just stop being skinny bitches?
