Can I have a vent session?
We all know that really the underlying cause of me writing this blog lies with the fact that I once obsessed over diets and have survived! However, it’s not as though I have been completely freed from thoughts about health, losing a few pounds and sometimes remaining a little too conscious of what I eat. It’s a constant struggle to resist admiring ideal bodies and not guilt myself for eating some Ben and Jerry’s on occasion.
Diet, particularly for women and men experiencing the rapid gain that accompanies college, is often inevitable. What I’m really trying to say is obsession and/or dieting as a way of life is the recipe for emotional and physical disaster. You know the popular saying often heard in conversations of women: “A moment on the lips but a lifetime on the hips,” adorably restrictive, but hardly true.
Please don’t post pictures of airbrushed models on your refrigerator or on your live journal (as seen in pro-ana websites).
A piece of advice, don’t go hog wild over a box of donuts but don’t tell yourself you don’t deserve one.
No one ever gotten fat from eating a snickers bar … just keep that in mind.
