Big girls need love too

Starting a new job means getting new health insurance which usually involves some sort of health assessment to determine your monthly rates, etc. The assessment was pretty basic-height, weight, some measurements, blood work and a questionnaire. I'm 29 (still young, no babies), and feel like I have above average health, so I wasn't too worried. Actually, I hadn't even thought about it! So I receive the packet in the mail expecting to see a perfect score. Well, ladies and gentlemen, according to my health assessment... (drum roll)... I am overweight. Yep, I'm fat. Also, not to mention my cholesterol was high!! I can't blame it on cheese, because I've been here less than 2 weeks, so i may just blame Dan for making me eat pork belly and assorted pork products at Hot and Hot (apparently all it takes is one serving). Actually, it's really what a couple of months of doing nothing but eating Mafiozas, Urban Standard paninis and cupcakes, and Starbucks salted caramel hot chocolate daily, and trying to indulge at every restaurant in Birmingham in a short amount of time will do to you. Fat with increased heart disease risk... it didn't take long to become another Alabama statistic :)

I'm going to start eating my Quaker oats again.

  1. I'm fat on the inside too. I ate 4 cupcakes at CG last night. No worries. We're all going to die one day. We sure do miss ya!
