To Eat Or Not To Eat

When food and the gym are constantly fighting for your attention.

To Eat Or Not To Eat

To eat or not to eat, that is the question:

Whether 'tis easier to buy those fries

The greasy and salty columns of heaven,

Or to indulge myself with a cheap taco,

And, by purchasing, end my hunger?

To buy, to eat--

No more-- and by eating I end the growling within and the pangs of starvation,

That my body is subject to--'tis a pain to deal with! To buy, to eat.

To eat, I surely will gain--ay, that's the punishment,

For in those scrumptious bites, the fat will build.

Where fat should not gather in order to keep a nice form,

I must workout.

This is the problem that is ever so haunting.

For who would want to run the equivalent of one sugary coated Krispy Kreme?

Who would digest such glorious food, only to have the lingering thoughts of the treadmill follow?

To pant and to sweat as the calories burned increase,

But that the bright yellow arches flash in the corners of my mind,

The taste of fries and shakes

No person forgets, yet struggles to overcome.

The tempting pull of the fat bearing food.

And thus the gym beckons me,

Is calling me to burn off these handles of love,

And lose the extra pounds--so soft and squishy--

Oh, it's Happy Hour!--timed perfectly is my hunger.

Be all my weight regained.

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.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.
