It's all about the Bordens, baby

I was sick yesterday. And I know I am sick when I can't eat.  

My throat is sore, and tender to the touch.  There is a lump there, but that's just probably a swollen gland or something.  It kinda hurts to swallow too.  It feels like there is something clogging my throat and makes it hard to breathe.

I should have called in sick last night, and went to the clinic. It was only a 4hour shift, but when you live from pay cheque to pay cheque, you need all the hours you can  get.

I did like the number on the scale this morning though.  Down 0.8 of a pound.  May not sound like a whole lot, but it's a good number for me.  Probably because I barely ate anything.  And that was after I had a Baconator and Poutine from Wendy's on Tuesday.

A few co-workers and I were talking last night about being anorexic and bulimic. 

I will admit, I've tried both.  By looking at me, obviously I didn't stick.  I am aware these are disorders and not to be taken lightly.  I know people who have suffered eating disorders. 

I have tried to just eat the bare minimum, but I was so hungry that I ate everything.  I also tried throwing up after I ate a few times, but I hate being sick, and to me, it seemed like a waste of money.  Why bother even eating if I am going to throw it up and not get any enjoyment out of it.

And that is my problem.  I enjoy food too much to get any further than I am at my long term goal.  

And eating healthy is so expensive.  If the "higher ups" want people to eat healthier, why don't they lower the cost of eating healthy instead of, or along with "banning" soda and the like.  Sure, getting kids out of the habit now before they get in one is great, but there are adults out there who have been trying and trying to get healthy too.  

It's great that you get a tax break if you have kids that have a gym membership.  But what about adults?  What about the people with no kids, working day in and day out just to make ends meet.  No tax breaks for them.  

Well, that went way off topic there. 

In closing, I need a better paying job, or they need to increase minimum wage in New Brunswick.
