Famine Ready Machine Sam I am....

I did the “thingy” that skinny people are supposed to do yesterday. Fidget, stand up a lot, walk about and generally not sit down and relax. What did I get out of the whole adventure while not overeating (although I probably have a magic food eye that grossly underestimates the calories I eat)? A ½ pound weight gain for my efforts, isn’t that just grand? I also stuck to turkey slices for lunch along with a banana and some pecans with cranberries. Okay the cranberries probably had some organic cane juice sweetener that added too many calories as well.

Really, I should just get my mouth wired shut and call it good. As long as I have to eat food to survive, I will be struggling not to overeat, eat the wrong thing and in general screw up any nutritional plan I thought I had for myself. I am a food addict. There I said it. It is just as bad as an alcoholic except I can’t abstain from eating food.

I suspect at times I have the same problem that Oprah claimed to have with her thyroid. Maybe I have a problematic thyroid that causes me to gain weight. Then reality rears its ugly little head and I realize, I am just an overeating, famine ready machine.
