Law Students

You Gotta Roll With It

It?s official. I?m spilling out of my clothes. Like, to the floor. The official Summer Associate, Summer Fatass Weight Gain, at the halfway mark, is 6 pounds. SIX POUNDS!

It?s embarrassing and uncomfortable and makes me feel bad about myself. Like, that I lack willpower. And that I?ve realized that I feel guilty when I take time to go to the gym because there is SO MUCH ELSE I could be doing. And when I get home from gym, and work, and traffic, all I want to do is watch all the movies on DVD that I missed in the theater. And I?ve missed a lot. For a former film major, that really sucks.

I want to say I don?t know how it happened, but I know how it happened. And let me tell you, Law Firm, please don?t bother asking people dietary restrictions if you?re not going to DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Because what happens is that I don?t eat when I see I have a lunch or breakfast or dinner, and when I get there and you don?t have any food for me, I make bad choices.

Like that time you rented out the bar-b-que restaurant? And I ate some bread with lettuce on? BECAUSE THAT?S ALL YOU OFFERED ME? Like, there weren?t even POTATOES. And then I was so hungry later on that I almost passed out and/or vomited and I was crying at the hotel staff to get me a fucking pizza? Yeah, that sucked. About as much as the next day when I walked 30 minutes to the store to get some trail mix. And got so sunburned that I?m still peeling, weeks later.

All I?m saying is, don?t pretend to care. If I knew straight up that you weren?t going to provide for me, I would take of myself.

And now I have to go to Six Flags all fat and falling out of my clothes. I look like a fuckin sausage.

And I know it?s ok, that it will all come off when I can get back to cooking for myself. Blah blah blah. And I?m not really feeling that negative, but I am a little bit. I?m so damn busy, I?m tired and I just kinda want to be lazy. But look where that got me last time. Thunder thighs.
