Addiction to junk!
Yes, just as the title describes, I have an addiction to junk.
Junk food, that is.
Well, today was my first day back to school after a nice, long winter break. Though trust me, it is more winter out than ever. I have to walk to three different buildings out in the teen-30 degree weather, and today I could hardly feel my feet and hands!
Anyhow, the point I was attempting to get at was once I am back in school, I go straight for the cursed vending machines! Not to mention the drinks and snacks in there are expensive as hell (a water bottle was $1.45– I guess it is even more expensive at places like the movie theater but I think the last time I brought water from a vending machine it was like $1.25, so it did take me aback a bit). But basically what I ate/drank today was of course, water, along with a Nestle Crunch bar, and a marshmallow treat and a large (or viente?) iced chai tea latte from Starbucks. Now I don’t need to look at any nutritional info to know that from this morning to now I just consumed a load of calories and sugar that could probably last me the whole day (but I’m sure that’s not ALL I’m going to eat for today!). Hopefully I will add some sort of nutrition to my body some time today, but even my less-than-healthy diet isn’t as bad as my sweet-but-kind-of-dumb boyfriend’s diet! He is under the impression that he will lose weight if all he has are several cans/bottles of Pepsi Max (which I have tried and I felt kinda jittery from it, I think) and weight loss shakes! I don’t know about you, but I think that just because Pepsi Max has zero calories and the weight loss shakes also have less calories doesn’t necessarily make them good for you- at all, actually. Trust me, I’ve tried to tell him that, but then I give up after remembering that he’s a man (no offense, guys). Well, I guess we’ll just have to work on our eating habits together if we have any chance at conquering our poor nutritional choices.
Oh, and I should probably start taking a multi-vitamin, too. Really, we all should have a multi-vitamin a day, ESPECIALLY if you’re one of those people who barely get any vitamins as it is (*gesturing toward myself*).
