crunch and munch on this.



God. Srly, why does food have to be so deliciously decadent. I hate being in a dietttttt. Its scary to see that the word diet has the word DIE in it. I know, I know. So why then do it?

  • I need to fit into my wedding dress
  • I have a tendency to become overweight if I don't.
  • I used to be obese and I don't want that.
  • I'm a nurse and I know better not to let myself become risky to my own health.

The story is, I used to be really overweight when I was younger. Then one day I decided to change my eating habits and lose weight. I'm pretty healthy now. I'm only about 135 lbs and 5'3", but if I let myself go, I know i'll explode.

FREAL.

Plus, I know better than to become unhealthy. I work in a cardiac floor and it never fails when I see young men and woman, early 30's 40's with occluded veins and bad hearts. It totally kicks me in the heart, to see them at that state. Plus, not only heart disease, but diabetes as well.

I might sound like a hypochondriac, but being around disease around the clock, makes you a little more aware of everything that's out there.

So... I might munch on a apple instead of this. mmmcrunch.
