The Death of Mr. Noodles

It's amazing how many thoughts can run through your brain at any given time. I thought I was having a reasonably good day, but now it seems like the table has been turned and the chair pulled out from under me. Bloody hell. Maybe it has something to do with Mr. Noodles. I mean, I generally eat a better than average healthy diet, but for the past few weeks I have succumbed to the pressures of the BBQ and have found myself feeding off of chunks of meat and creamy slaws and the only green veggie that's getting into my body comes in the form of relish.

I know that can not be good. I know it's not good. My body is so pissed off at me right now, I honestly believe if I don't stop this nonsense now, it's going to take an irrevocable stand and refuse to lose the 15Lbs I've put on it (a total of 30Lbs since January). I loathe summer. Most people put on weight in the winter; I lose weight in the winter and gain in the summer. Pretty messed up, I know, but I'm used to it. Maybe there is something to do about money, or lack there of and the state of my fridge, the richness of my roommates cooking, the lack of discipline I've been demonstrating. I don't even like meat!!

Have I become so lazy in the last two months that I am willing to sacrifice all I have accomplished this year, just to be temporarily sedated by the quick and easiness of the processed food? Mr. Noodles and I have become very friendly this past week. I haven't eaten that shit in almost a year and yet here I am scarfing it down like it's the best bowl of gourmet pasta to ever touch my lips! I purposely don't go down the aisles at the grocery store because there is only garbage down them...tasty garbage yes, but garbage just the same. And my family wonders why I raid the cookie jar or search for snacks whenever I visit. I don't keep them in my house.

I just looked on the Mr.Noodles package. Aside from having no nutritional value (other than the niblet corn I added for colour) it has 1930mg of sodium. 1930mg!!! I don't even buy canned Campbells "healthy request" chicken noodle soup because it has 920mg. What the hell am I doing? I hate salt. Really, really hate it. That's it. That has got to be the main source of my sluggery this afternoon, all that damn sodium running through my veins and sucking all the energy out of my blood. Piss off Mr. Noodles. Our relationship is over. Find some other lazy bastard to aggravate and drain.
