I had a dream that I won $500, but it was a DREAM!
... of course, then I was driving my car and ran over some glass and punctured my tire. I would have had to pay to fix that. Also in the dream, I ate too much chocolate so two of my teeth fell out. Of course, my parents were like "Oh, just put them back in. They'll hold until we can find a dentist" and they fixed themselves. So I guess I can live without the $500 considering none of that damage actually happened.
side note: I keep hearing about how people get bent out of shape that children see commercials about unhealthy food on the networks they watch...
SO FUCKING WHAT!?
I saw WAY MORE CRAP than they'll ever see. My school sold honey buns and cupcakes as a viable lunch. On a good day, we ate pizza. I mean, that's pretty screwed up, and schools should offer healthy alternatives, but you know what became of it?
Nothing. I'm still thin.
Instead, my mother pushed the outdoors on us, and didnt buy us a million video games. We had an NES, but the rules of the house were that except for rare times, it was a night or a party thing. My dad built us a jungle jym so we COULD have something to do outside even if our friends weren't about or if it was cold. And even then, I'd often run out on rainy days and run through the rain with my neighbors. We went swimming, played sports (these are neighborhood sports, too, for those with little money), and whatever else.
Nowadays, I'm an art student and I don't have the time to exercise. I'm still not fat, I see? I don't call it "great metabolism" Some of it probably is, yes, I agree, but most of it has to do with me walking all the damned time in hilly San Francisco, and watching my diet. I still allow myself fattening foods, probably more than I should. Thing is, though, that I balance every chocolate bar I eat by not eating another one for so long. I make myself purchase them in cash, so I limit the consumption based on my limits on how much I let myself withdraw for the week. If I wanted to eat all chocolate instead of lunch, I can do that. I just then couldn't afford to eat out. Oh yeah, WHEN I eat out, I never order soda. I rarely drink it at home. I drink water. Some people complain about the taste of water... wtf, just get used to it, then. Put it in the fridge, and you will SEE. When there is no soda to consume, you'll enjoy the water. For serious, your ancestors lived on it, so can you. Otherwise, on the rare occasion, I have crystal lite, which is very low calorie.
discipline, people.
But more than that. Stop blaming OTHER PEOPLE for being fat. Honestly. If there's any sole reason behind fat children, it's the lazy ass parents, or the indifferent parents who let their kid drink a bottle of soda everyday. Even the worst of children won't be fat moons if you discipline them. My little brother frequently steals change to buy candy. He's a little overweight, but by no means fat, because at home, my parents balance it by making REAL food for him to consume.
This whole children need to be babied thing our country is doing is stupid.
My children will be running through the wilderness getting chased by bears as I freak out a bit at home, and then I'll feed them real food. They'll complain at me that I don't buy enough cookie crisp and I'll tell them that I'll let them eat it only as a special holiday gift. Then I'll make them earn their Nintendo or virtual reality time or whatever only after they can keep up with me on my ridiculous hikes.
My DOG used to go mountain climbing with us when I was 7 or 8. When I see people nowadays like "wow, that Forest Falls mountain is SUPER DIFFICULT!" I tell them that. People are SO OUT OF SHAPE! |
