I bought a family sized carton of peppermint ice cream two days ago. Unfortunately I have been living on my own for the past two weeks and do not have a family to share that ice cream with, so naturally, I ate it by myself... And not in the portion control kind of way. The ice cream is gone. I had half for dinner the first night I bought it and the other half the second night. I relished in the the little crunchy pepperminty bits while I could, but I am seriously the best at rationalization. My throat was just slightly sore, so I decided that the ice cream made it feel better and that made finishing it off completely acceptable. I am trying to convince myself that buying more peppermint ice cream is a bad idea, but it isn't working. At all. I always tell myself that I have a fast metabolism and that I am immune to obesity and heart failure. So what if we all know that I'm not? Maybe once when I was twelve that excuse would have worked, but it seems that as time goes on my body rebels.
Pinterest always makes me feel guilty for not running and for making up excuses as to why I can eat the worst things and get away with not running. There are little quotes all over on there like:
"Someone busier and less fat than you is running right now!!"
"Don't treat your body like a garbage can!!!"
"Even if you run slow... You are still lapping the people on the couch!!!"
"Do not reward yourself with food, you are not a dog."
I always make up a bratty sarcastic comment in my head to counter their guilt trips. All of those people that are outside running are dying of cold and will eventually get frostbitten feet that will have to be amputated. Where does that get them? Nowhere. In a wheel chair, maybe. I do not treat my body like a garbage can; I would never throw away a new carton of peppermint ice cream. I would rather sit on the couch than have people watch me run slow, if I am going to run it is going to be at a normal pace and I am going to attempt to look as human as possible. I love dogs as they are the most loyal forms of life, so if rewarding myself with food likens me unto a dog then I am allllll for it.
I am not actually against physical activity. I quite enjoy it when it involves some form of game. I love playing basketball or rugby... but running just to run is not fun, ever. When you are out driving in your warm car do you ever see a jogger that is smiling? No. They all look like they hate the world. Maybe if they smiled while they ran then I would think about doing it. It's hard to feel encouraged by a person with a straight face. I actually bought a gym membership and I went a few times, but then I realized that the only people smiling where the ones who greeted me from behind the desk. Everyone else was just intense and there was no laughter to be heard. And if I have learned anything from pinterest it is that, "Laughter is the Best Calorie Burner!!!"
Don't Try to Tell Me That Your Husband is Better Looking Than Mine
I reward myself with food all of the time, in my opinion it is the BEST reward!
ReplyDeleteIf I ever need help rationalizing something I shouldn't be doing then I will DEFINITELY be giving you a call! Haha.
ReplyDeleteIrrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Cancer,Hiv_ Aids,Herpes,Copd,Diabetes,Hepatitis,I read about him online how he cure Tasha and Tara so i contacted him on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com even talked on whatsapps +2348149277967 believe me it was easy i drank his herbal medicine for two weeks and i was cured just like that isn't Dr Itua a wonder man?
