My diet is pretty shitty. Not only do I eat a lot of fast food, but I also love to bake and often have brownies or cake laying around the kitchen. Every once in a while I’ll do pretty good for about two weeks and have a nice salad for lunch and a low-fat vegetarian main dish for dinner every day. Then stress or boredom kicks in, and it’s off to In & Out or the snack aisle at Trader Joe’s. The only meal that remains somewhat of a constant is breakfast: wheat toast with peanut butter and a piece of fruit. However, this is only true on weekdays. By the time Saturday rolls around I’m exhausted, and end up sleeping in way too late and waking up ravenous. Weekend breakfasts are usually high in everything: waffles with lots of butter and syrup, coffee with cream, and way too much bacon (which is the ideal amount of bacon, but still).

I know I can’t change my eating habits overnight, but it’s so frustrating to make some headway and then just fall off track again. In a few weeks I’ll be attempting a detox in order to “reset” my system. I’m not sure if it will actually work, but I’m kind of looking forward to it. I would actually start it now, except it forbids caffeine and I have way too much school stuff to do right now not to have some sort of stimulant in my bloodstream. The day after my final project is submitted, I will be kicking off my shoes, eating a big bowl of fruit, and cooking up a batch of kicharee.
