Food

I am a junk food junkie. Usually I have a sweet tooth, but every once in a while I have a salt craving. Like yesterday. I really needed some sour cream and onion potato chips. It was my first day back to work after having six days off and I was trying to reacquaint myself with day shifts, so I indulged. And then I proceeded to eat the entire bag. It wasn't a snack size bag. Granted, it wasn't a huge bag either, but it was definitely more than a serving. Recently it has been Snickers, Reese's, gummy bears and cinnamon rolls. I have eaten a LOT of junk this month. I kept telling myself it was night shifts. When you are eating your main meal at two or three in the morning your body gets confused about what it needs. You wake up at 5pm and you want breakfast, you eat at 2am and it doesn't really feel like lunch, you get home and you can't possibly have dinner because it is 8 in the morning. So I compensated with the snacks. It always feels like snack time. But I have told myself it has to stop. I am giving myself the rest of this week. I am moving on Saturday. I am stressed. And I am going to need the junk food to get through cleaning my current apartment (it has been neglected and is rather gross recently). But starting Monday it is a new apartment, a new (hopefully improved) grocery store and a new eating lifestyle. Now I just have to develop a taste for grocery shopping. And for healthy food.

*Side Note: I do realize I have blogged about food a lot recently. It just seems to be what moves me to put pen to paper...errr...fingers to keyboard??
