Food, You?

IlLove it, I hate it, I can't get away from it

Food, You?

I have a struggle with food. What I mean by this is that I don’t know when to stop eating, I never actually have an appetite to eat anything (anymore at least, school’s dining hall food screwed me up) and I usually eat pretty badly. Does anyone else go through this?

On top of these problems, I am trying to diet. Operative word here: trying. Gotta lose that freshman 10, am I right? Sometimes I look around at the options I have to eat, either in the dining hall at school, the kitchen at work or my own house, and just feel at a loss. Nothing looks good. At that point I’d probably make chocolate chip pancakes and call it a day, no matter which meal it is I’m supposed to be eating.

With my new “diet,” I try to not eat a big breakfast, especially since I’ve been working out in the morning (for real, I’ve been going to Crossfit). I’ll have something 40 minutes before the class and then maybe some strawberries or Special K after. Well, by lunchtime my tummy is getting uncomfortable because of how much it wants food. So, then I proceed to the kitchen where the yacht club I work at gives us lunch (how good of a deal is that? Can you say, “free food"). And then since I’m hungry and talking (a combination which equals not paying attention), I’ll clean my plate --if, of course, it’s a meal I like. If I’m picky about that day’s options, I’ll probably eat a couple pieces of bread or chicken. Sigh, still so hungry. Don’t worry; knowing myself, I’ll balance out everything I didn’t eat during the day with binging at home later that night. (Bowls on top of bowls of Honey Nut Cheerios are my go-to)

I guess you could say this is a pretty bad process. I am in agreement. My biggest problem is snacking at night -- just continuous eating for hours (re: the Honey Nut Cheerio situation). My parents have their respective TVs and the one my brother and I use is in the kitchen. The kitchen! So the problem can never really be fixed.

I need to work on my willpower -- but it's hard! I applaud people I see doing things like running outside on the road, especially if it's uphill and midday. Everyone can see you. You’re choosing to run? You go, Glen Coco.

S,o anyway, I’m working on my whole willpower thing, to stop eating when I should and to eat healthy and proper amounts. I’ll keep you posted on my possible progress throughout the summer.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
