Well, this new thinking doesn't keep a fellow from getting hungry. You see, I have not eaten crap today -- just a normal, healthy meal. Yes, it was on the light side but well, I'm a sick person and the treatment for this is not eating so damn much. And there are a ot of foods I could eat right now -- good wholesome nourishing foods. I would eat those and feel good about it. But there is nothing but crap and candy and junk in the break room and so I will spare myself that agony of eating sugary crap that's gonna stick to my teeth and all that.
And you know what? There's nothing wrong with feeling a little hungry. No sirree bub. But a banana would really take the edge off this bad boy -- maybe I'll bring some in and hide them so that the damn grease monkies don't eat them. What am I saying, I'm a grease monkey. A fat ill one.
Yeah, that whole illness thing changes everything. I don't have to beat myself up over the fact that I have three sets of pants that no longer fit. Is beating myserlf up about that gonna help, no. But treating myself kindly as though I am getting over an illness, well, that will help.
It is helping. I'm even a little less hungry having walked over to this terminal and dropped some of the junk that was skating around in my brain.
