Sunday was like a groundhog day. Menu was the same, which brings me to the subject of uniformity. When I was a fatty my clothes were much uniformed because I had so few things that fit. Because of these I wore the same things all the time and eventually they were my shield – I never had to confront being fat because I never had to buy new clothes, and on the rare times I did I could get the same pair of khakis at the fat guy store that I got before and rationalize that a size 58 or 60 was perfectly normal. When I reflect on my level of rationalization just ONE YEAR AGO, I’m in shock. Eating buffets and fast food all day…rationalized. I really find it inconceivable that I could be that person again and would love to go smack him. So uniformity, now I am doing it with my food to some extent. BUT that is because I continuously discover new things and then run them in the ground. There was a salad kick, there was a homemade Ruben kick, there was a (2) Krystals kick. The more “kicks” I can put in my repertoire the more variety, as opposed to uniformity, I can experience. So the food yesterday was similar, with the same results, over 10 points left at the end of the day, with a nice variety of fruit during the day. Tech week started for EARNEST this evening and had an orange and some of those tasty Aldi s’mores (with an incandescent Sprite Zero) waiting for me at intermission. It was the uniformity that got me safely (food wise) through the evening. I will say that this is the first weekend in a long time I haven’t had some restaurant splurge, so that was a good thing. Tomorrow in Monday and a stressful week at work and the theatre commence, but I feel confident – and Sunday is a two night mini-vacay to Atlanta , home of the food-temptress OK CafĂ©. Stay tuned!
