(Not So) Personal Space

Thursday, October 19, 2006

So I tried that veggie thing. It sort of worked but I started eating regular food by the end of the second day cuz I was so hungry lol. But still, I did lose a little bit of weight. I may do it again tomorrow but I'd have to buy some veggies in the morning or after school. So, anyway, I was thinking that lately I've been trying to eat less "bad food" like pies and pasta, and look at food labels to know what it is that I am putting in my body. I think my boyfriend might be getting the impression that I'm a little obsessed because I even watch HIS food labels. My problem right now is that I wonder is how far is too far when I give him my opinion about what he eats? Maybe I'm being to invasive of his life, but the reason why I do that is because sometimes we alude to one day getting married. Honestly it would worry me to marry someone who does take enough care of his body. What about his future kids? He sometimes makes comments about his mom and uncle being fat but ironically wondering what they eat, since their kitchen is empty. He comments about wishing his dad could be there on his wedding day. I know his fathers case is a little different, but health concern is still there.

Maybe it's selfish of me, but I worry that if he continues to eat the way he does and not do any exercise (when physically able to), my own future will be a burden. "If you love somebody it shouldn't matter," right? But it's because I love him that I want him to be in the best health possible. For his sake too. He'd have more energy and be less stressed and feel more confident. He is 25 and already has high cholesterol. Now, being American, I guess that is nothing new. I know that what he eats contributes. Earlier today I told him we should have a competition where we both give up some bad foods that we like and eat alot and see who lasts longer without eating them. For me it's sweets and for him it's fast food. I don't think I can go one day without eating something sweet and I think that is pathetic. He likes fast food but in all honesty I think what he should give up is meat because that is the thing he cannot go a day without.

Aside from the food... I need to talk about him about more personal things lol. I'm inhibited and he is too. It could be better for sure.
