Junk



On this family vacation, my eating habits totally changed. I wasn't feeding myself anymore; I was eating whatever I was given. I had doughnuts, pop tarts, and muffins for a single breakfast. A turkey sandwich followed by one slice of a PB&J and chips for lunch. Then Panda Express for dinner. And I wasn't really that hungry when I ate any of it. I just ate it because I felt compelled to. I was snowboarding, so I knew I was spending energy for that and I needed calories for it. I ate immoderately because of it.

After several days of similar eating behavior, I felt pretty rotten. I'd rather not describe my literal sensations in my digestive tract, so suffice it to say it was unpleasant. I need fiber. I need fruit and vegetables. The only fruit I had all week was three "Cutie" oranges one morning. I need more water. It is taking some time to get my system back into shape. I need to remind myself not to eat like that so consistently. It turns out badly.
