I think we all have had encounters with "health food fanatics", the slightly hippie or extremely environmentally aware group that enjoys munching on carrots, crackers, and fruit while hydrating with the full recommended 8 glasses of water per day in preparation for their next 5K or perhaps triathlon. They are health conscious. Just as we ( all of those not following under this group) are conscious of our own short comings in the attempt to be fit and be healthy.
It's just annoying to thoroughly enjoying your raisin cane's chicken sandwich, fries, and a large coke when someone pulls out a granola bar and starts to stretch for their daily jog.
Yes, I personally am very happy for these extremely healthy individuals...but seriously....I always feel so bad...suddenly I'm aware that I only exercise for fun (exercise,in my mind, is the perfect excuse to get together with the girls and for a walk-and-talk) and that I never count calories or watch what I consume. I haven't looked at a food pyramid in years. I have measured my health based on the fit of my clothes. They still fit? check. So in my mind that means all is well and I'm in no danger of having to shell out money that I don't have for a new wardrobe. Avoidance of weight gain was just the best economic decision. Nothing ruins a mexican dinner or trip to checkers more than the one person that orders a salad and water. In my mind...I just know that on some subconscious level...they are, indeed, judging what I'm eating.
Well, recently, due to health complications, I'm having to eliminate majority of all carbs, lacoste, and stay far away from sugary sweets. Literally, I have to drink massive amounts of water, take a handful of vitamins and supplements daily, eat more vegetables than I've consumed in the past year in a month, and stay away from fast food. Yes, I'm aware that I've turned into that girl that I can't quite stand. So, please. forgive me. There is nothing I would like more than to head to Chicken Express with you.
