"I guess you want to gain weight, don't you?"

Growing up, that sentence was the bane of my existence.
Skipped breakfast? "Oh, so you're TRYING to gain weight." No, dad, fuck off.
Ate after 7 pm? "Oh, I see you want to gain some weight, huh?" Nope, FUCK OFF, dad."
Get less than 9 hours of sleep (so, y'know, every day of my life)? "Oh, I guess you're trying to gain weight, is that it?" (You can guess my response.)

Anyway.
The point being, as much as I hated that phrase growing up, it's true.
If you're not trying to lose weight, you must be trying to gain it.
Extra bites aren't slip-ups or moments of weakness. A brownie isn't a mistake. A day off from the gym isn't laziness.
These are purposeful moments of self-sabotage. These are little things that add up to "yes, I DO want to gain weight and be a fat cow the rest of my life."

I'm going to stop saying yes to those moments.
The only things I will say "yes" to from now on are the things that will make me skinny.

(Thanks, dad.)

  1. oh shit that's pretty tough.
    enough to drive me crazy.
    try not to look at the negatives too much eh? i know it's hard, but i really think it can help. saying yes to skinniness is a better attitude i suppose.

    they literally let me eat whatever. it's just annoying. like...sometimes, my Father gets into one of those moments and is like "yeah. eat this and that but don't eat too much or you'll gain weight"
