i am 25 years old. today.
i have had issues with my appearance and weight since i was…….. oh i dont know, in the womb.
so you know what i did today? i had cake. i didnt go to the gym, i went to the zoo and the aquarium.
i ended up walking around for four hours. but just that, WALKING. imagine that, walking… not hiking. not jogging down a mountainside or up those steep fucking steps to the ridge to push myself just a litttle harder. no, i just walked. me and my panda umbrella, we walked.
then on the drive home when my mother said should we get subway or chinese? i let her pick. i could have gone with the subway and had a 6inch sub filled with lettuce, and picked half of the bread of. i could have, but i didnt. and guess what? the chinese was fantastic!
then i came home… and there it was. that beautiful bastard. chocolate cake. with chocolate frosting, and chocolate flakes around the edges. i could have said no. i could have cut a slice off and then thrown it in the trash.
i’ve ruined enough birthdays that way. like when i wasnt eating at all and i refused to go out to dinner on my birthday because that one meal would be more than i’d eaten in the entire week. or the fights over cake. and here i am, still fighting that fat chick who refuses to die. so this year i decided to enjoy it. not shove cake down my throat as fast as i can find it, not skip it altogether. but to enjoy it.
or worse- i could have eaten my chinese, and then eaten more and more, then come home and eaten 3 times as much cake… and thrown it up. i’d be about 3 pounds lighter right now… and my dying catholic would be throwing punches in whatever dark corner i’ve left her to die.
but i didnt. i had cake, then i watched a movie and just now… i had two glasses of milk. they were ice cold, and they were delicious. i imagine this is what normal people do… they have cake if they want to.
