Similar to Lurlene I have started to watch what I’m eating. This is mostly because I got tired of counting moths flying out of my wallet. I don’t know if you know this, but moths have the ability to point and laugh.

Watching what I eat is not new in my life. Taking into account of what I eat is.

*** (dream like moment with deep voiceover using too much reverb)***
Since the dawn of Bunny’s simple life, her mother was on a diet. For this reason, Bunny is ultra aware of her weight and what she puts in her mouth. However, this “diet genealogy” does not stop her from eating what she likes to call “crap food”. No. She eats what she likes and then tells herself what a pig she is and how big her ass has gotten. Now, some may say that this is self destructive behavior. Why not just eat healthy?... You see… like her name sake with sex, Bunny likes to eat a whole lot of whatever is available and tasty. Her hand has a special relationship with her mouth and they like to sneak behind her mind’s back. What can our poor Bunny do. ***

What can I do?...
1. Go shopping for groceries and don’t order out. Know what I am putting into my mouth.

2. Limit “crap food”. Just because Paul Newman makes it doesn’t mean that Newman-Oh’s are good for you.

3. Try not to snack. This one is hard and I have not even come close to mastering it. I am a snacker to the core when I’m home. If I’m bored, I snack. “So keep busy,” you say. Story of my life...get off my back.

Another reason for my new awareness of food is that at 32 I have had to start taking Lipitor to lower my cholesterol. Family history has created havoc on my cholesterol. Another gift from mom. Weeeee!

Two things I have learned about myself.
1. I love starch. Potatoes and Pasta make me smile. Yes, actually smile.
2. I love cheese. Grilled cheese should be made into something big, important and bronzed.

Two things I am not supposed to eat if watching my weight and cholesterol:
1. Starch
2. Cheese

Do you see why I wish food came in pellet form? Do you see why I wish I never had to think about what I put between my cheese hungry lips? So Now what do I do?... I stick to my original plan of three: shop, additives limit and do stuff. SALADS.

Have I told you how much I don't like salads?... Boy, I have work to do.
