Plagued By Thoughts...

Everyone has a thought that haunts their head, right? It may be undiscovered and living in the dustiest, spider filled part of your mental attic, but it is there. I promise you.

Some people may have that thought as a pop up that annoys you every once in a while. Others may have the thought lurking in the background, just silently following you, and you can't quite catch it. Then, some poor unfortunate souls have this thought in the for-front of their mind. And it just never goes away.

So, what is this thought for you? Well, for me, and hear is a big surprise, it is food. I can't think about anything else. Everything revolves around this demon thought and substance. How many calories is that? How much fat is in that? Is it worth it? If I eat that, I'll get fat. I can't eat that... but I want to... But you can't. Every single waking moment. Food. Food. Food! ERG!

Food and calories is the first thing I think about in the morning. The last thing I think about before my brain short circuits. It is in my mind every single moment between those points. Why? Why? Why? In the middle of a lesson, my brain will wonder down 'Food Street' maybe cross over to 'Calorie Close'. Even when people are talking to me, I think about food and calories. It is my life. This desire to be skinny and to get rid of food and to count the calories. Every moment of my day. Constantly thinking about it.

But it is also very handy. I cook more. I want to know what is going into my food, how much it weighs so I can work out the calories, fat and carb content as accurately as possible. I do love cooking. It is so fun. Just not the best at it.

I mean, one of the biggest reasons as to why I am vegetarian, and seriously thinking about vegan, is the fact that so much of the evil food: cheese, meat and stuff, is cut out from your diet and reduces the calories you ultimately intake. And the diets that you follow make you lose weight anyway. See. Everything has logic.
