I have this annoying habit of not eating breakfast. I know it's unhealthy yet I'm unable to shed this habit. I'm really famished in the mornings but I'd subconsciously tell my brain that I don't need food. I'd substitute breakfast with reading, or working on my Mac or just plain sitting on the chair. I'd eye the biscuits, resisting the temptation that doesn't even exist. The best part is, I'm neither bulimic, anorexic nor on any special diet. I just don't eat.
I'd like to think that I'm fabulously reed thin and everyone else is reeling with jealousy at my ability to resist food. Being thin is a luxury. I can eat anything and everything without the need to pause and count the calories. And may I boast about the fact that I'm able to lose weight in a twinkling of an eye. Doesn't this make you wanna scream, Life is unfair?? But life is fair. You eat, therefore you have the curves to flaunt. I abstain and I have a flat runway to hide.
But the point is about eating right. Maybe it's because I was a picky eater when I was young. Eating was a chore at times. Any African kid would be glad to trade places with me anytime. Again, may I reiterate the fact that I'm not anorexic. I used to identify with Calista Flockhart or Gwyneth Paltrow. But they are no longer fabulously skinny. How wonderful.
I'm taking small steps to eating right beginning today, really. I'm starting with breakfast. Hopefully I'd turn into a bumpy runway soon.
