Fiction On Odyssey: Insatiable

I used to be so much skinnier.

One sweet potato in the morning for breakfast. That's all I'll have to make up for yesterday. Maybe I'll add an egg on the side. But then I'll have to fry the egg, which means I'll have to use oil. But the egg will give me the protein I need to stay fuller for longer, and I won't be tempted to eat more later. It's an investment. But that's going to add like 90 more calories. Better not. I'll put the egg back.

I see milk in the refrigerator. We have that banana nut crunch cereal in the pantry that I really like. It's been forever since I've had it. It's 230 calories for a cup though... plus the milk... I'll just have one small bowl. But I want more. I'll just have one more small bowl. And then it will count as one serving. It's almost lunchtime anyways. I'll just skip lunch to make up for it.

Besides, I'm going to the gym later, and I want to have enough energy to make the workout effective. I can't be drowsy at the gym. That was so good. Maybe just one more bowl. I'm using weights today anyways. There's M&M ice cream sandwiches in the freezer. Those are my favorite. Mom rarely buys those. Better have one while I can. I'm kinda full though. But it tastes so good. This was going to be my dessert later tonight anyways. I'll just have it now instead of after dinner. That was so good.

I kinda want something else to eat. But I'm full now. There isn't really anything to eat here. But I still wanna eat. I'll have another bowl of cereal, just to finish up the milk in the fridge. No use in saving that little bit. I feel so gross. My stomach is bulging out so much. And there is so much extra fat drooping from my sides. It's never looked this way before. I used to be so much skinnier.

I want to get back to the way I was. No use in trying to lose weight today. I've already ruined it. Maybe I'll just make today my last day of eating whatever I want before I start to diet for real. That's what I said yesterday. I feel so sick. I can't go to the gym feeling like this. Maybe I'll just sleep it off and go later. I hate what I've done to my body. I look so fat. I'm so fat. How did I get so fat?

Honestly, the only option right now is to eat like a maximum of 500 calories per day. I watched people do it in videos online and they lose like 7 pounds in three days. And once I reach my goal, I'll slowly start to eat more again to go back to being normal. It'll be good. I may be miserable, but I'm miserable already. And I'd rather be miserable and skinny than miserable and fat.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
