Being Jekyll and Hyde

Yep, that's what I feel like today. A sense of eeriness surrounds me, like my mind and body's been taken over by some evil, junk-food-loving crazy person.

Self-proclaimed foodie by day, renegade junkie by night - that's what I've become.

Serious fried food cravings overcame me yesterday after work, when I caved in and got the worst possible meal from the fast food joint across our house. The icing on the cake was that I didn't even walk there to get it, I got it delivered and paid extra for delivery! Oh the horror of it all. I waited for nearly 45 mins when it would've taken me just 5 to walk there and back! All this for a box of greasy fried chicken, and the cravings were so strong I actually polished the entire thing off single-handedly. How low I've sunk!

And then instead of my usually (comparatively) healthy manaeesh breakfast, the office orders a Burger King brunch, and I give in....again!!! An angry whopper and fries and a coca-cola. The burger did taste pretty good to start with - the jalapenos, spicy oinon rings, cheese and whatever is quite a taste explosion actually, but halfway through the fries my better sense kicked in. I didn't finish them.

But soon I felt the grease down my throat and a rising sense of overpowering guilt, and guess what I use to wash it all down? Coca-cola. Not my usual choice of clean, refreshing, pure liquid - water. But sugary-sweet fizzing with carbon dioxide Coca-cola.

Hmpf....I don't even like coca-cola. I'm known for my hatred of coca-cola. I'm known for lecturing others about the health risks of sugary fizzy drinks like it. How much lower can I sink?

I feel so terrible and so guilty all I want to do is go home and run for an hour on the treadmill, have cleansing fruits for dinner and vow off fast food forever. What is it about this stuff, that makes you feel so sick after eating it, yet a few months later, all you can remember is how it tasted and you want it all over again...need it even?

Material for a thesis perhaps.

This post is a rant, and I haven't had a rant-y post in a while now, so I figured I would put it in anyway. Isn't that what a blog is for? You don't really have to worry about being politically correct do you? Does it diminish the educational/informative value of the blog in anyway - these random rants?

I don't know. I did need to rant, and I do feel better now and empowered to embark on another healthy eating stint :)

Till next time folks! (and we hope it's a better report then!)
