All snake theory and pelvic congestion matters to the side….I’m concerned that I’ve developed a bewildering and dangerous addiction to Jujyfruits and Mike and Ikes candy among other things. It seems that lately my body is perpetually craving these fruity sweets. Last week it was a box of Dark Chocolates from Godiva. Odd these phases I go through and I can’t seem to get enough of them. Not sure what it is but I actually feel like my stomach is a bottomless pit that needs to be constantly filled and filled and can never be satiated. When I eat pasta I never make the recommended serving size of 1 cup. I never understood how one measely little cup of spaghetti is supposed to be enough to whet any appetite. When I make pasta, I cook half the box (thats like 3 or 4 cups) and add some type of meat to the sauce and I eat it all in one sitting. My own brothers even marvel at how much pasta and other foods I'm able to consume. I eat until I can’t move. It’s scary. I don’t know how it is that I don’t weigh a lot more and I’m always surprised when I look in the mirror and see that I don’t look as large as I feel. In my head I am a pudgy little fat girl because that’s how I feel after I gorge on disproportionate sized meals. I eat the way an alcoholic drinks. Their will to drink more and more is stronger than their common sense to stop at a certain point. Something deep inside of them pushes them to test the limits. I think that’s what I do with food. It’s a good thing that I have a major aversion to vomiting or I would probably be a raging bulimic by now.

Labor Day weekend is full of traditions. The local radio station counts down the top 100 rock songs of all time [Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven is always #1]. The Jerry Lewis Telethon, Princess Diana tributes and my brother’s birthday and annual Labor Day party that lasts for 3 days..... Needless to say food was bountiful this weekend and I didn’t have to do any of the cooking which makes it even more delicious. There were cheeseburgers, hot dogs, sausage and peppers, potato salad, macaroni salad with peas, pasta salad with veggies, shrimp salad, tuna salad, salads with Hellmann’s and salads with Miracle Whip. There were chips and dips, grilled roast beef and deep fried turkeys. Corn on the cob, meatballs, baked beans, sauerkraut, Mexican dishes, Italian dishes, cookies, cakes, donuts, and on and on and on and then when I came home I was still hungry so I ate some more. That’s when I started in on the Pizza Goldfish, popcorn, wheat thins, extra sharp cheddar, apple slices, more cheeseburgers, more chips, raspberry ice cream, more Mike and Ikes, more JujyFruit which I’m actually snacking on now as I type.

Time to hit the gym, hard.
