My Diet is Working

This won't make many people happy. I always get yelled at for this. Regardless of how this sounds though, I do understand the blessing that the combination of my current metabolism and my passion for soccer has for my body.

I weighed myself this morning because I was in a bathroom at someone else's house and saw the scale. I weigh the same as the day I graduated high school 8 years ago. I haven't fluctuated more than 5 pounds in the last 9 years. All that, and here is what I ate for meals the last couple days. Yesterday I had two packs of Ramen noodles for lunch. Then chips and salsa, followed by a bowl of ice cream for dinner. I later ate more chips and salsa for dessert. Today I awoke for an early breakfast of eggs, ham, fruit, and a bagel. Dinner consisted of hash browns and crescent rolls. As much salt, butter and oil as I could manage. I'm getting ready to have some more chips and salsa, that has been my craving lately.

I wish I could put on weight. I wish that I could gain the muscle mass. I can't seem to fluctuate. I wish often that I could trade my metabolism with someone else, someone who desires so much to lose weight or to maintain it. I have a weird goal, that others don't understand, of having a belly someday. I'd love to let someone who has never been able to lose weight switch places with me. I can't.

Someday, my lifestyle might not be as active. My metabolism is also bound to slow down at some point. There might be a belly in my future. When it starts to show, my wife will watch my diet more carefully. Until then, I guess I'll go grab some chips.

Sorry for any of you that don't have this "blessing." I really would switch places for a while if I could.
