I AM... I AM... I AM SUPER MAN
|
I'm not really a healthy person. I know this. I accept this. Most times I really don't care. Am I in the best shape? No. I've tried... i wouldn't even call the diets because it wasn't an attempt to lose weight or be healthier. It was more just to see if I could do it. I'm stubborn like that. Someone says I can't do something I have a hard time not wanting to try, just to prove them wrong.
I tried doing the no carb thing. I last a week. That's rough.
I gave up all soda for a month. That was easier than I thought. I didn't miss the soda so much as I did the carbonation. I missed the fizz.
But I've got something that I feel ok about giving up and not really worried about missing. I'm giving up super sizing.
When I worked at McDonald's, during college, there were still such a thing as a 16 oz small drink. In fact, most places had a standard set of sizes; 16, 21, and 32 ounces. If a fast food menu even still offers three sizes the smallest is hardly small. BK and McDonald's being the biggest offenders of it. Taco Bell isn't much better. All combos come with a 32 oz drink.
Now this isn't to say that I don't drink soda other than when I go out for fast food. Because I do. But I've typically subscribed to the theory that for some people, it's how much more than what you eat. I know this isn't across the board. I feel it is true for me. So I'm giving up super sizing.
Big deal? Well maybe... if you figure that extra patty or handful of fries or few ounces of soda add up to at least 100 calories and I'm not eating them. Well that's some quick math to show how many calories dropping.
Baby steps. And maybe once the weather gets warmer I'll start going out for walks/jogs again.Labels: food, health |
