Without me you're only you
That quote is from my very favorite musical discovery since I took my little sabbatical. For years I considered buying Angel Dust by Faith No More, and never did. I finally got it, and Midlife Crisis is now my favorite song ever. Anyway.
In an effort to respect myself more, I'm quitting junk food. Not as a means to an end (weight loss), just as a generally healthy thing to do. In case you haven't noticed, I don't exactly do moderation. It's just not something I can deal with- I'm too easily tempted, and I feel like a hypocrite when I try to believe that something can be ok some of the time. And while I know that some things absolutely can, that's just not the way I'm wired. So I'm quitting junk food in the same manner that I quit smoking (that happened by the way- I quit on May 17 2007, and gave in to temptation for the last time on September 9 2007.)- looking at it as a killer to be fought. Day 1 was yesterday, and I'm already ready to tear my hair out. But I'm not gonna, cuz I'm afraid it might not grow back. Yesterday I had a big Chicken Ceaser Salad, and four (two too many) Lean Pockets. A bunch of juice, a glass of lemonade, and... three chocolate covered cherries. Today I'm doing pretty well, with a can of tuna fish enjoyed with whole-weat bread and a glass of juice. V8 Splash too, so it's pretty healthy juice.
Lamest LJ entry ever? Well, no. But only because of my back-catalogue. I'm going to the store. Gonna see if I can find some half-price self esteem.
