Home for the Holidays, What a curse.
I am at home for the Christmas break. My home is only about 20 minutes from my place at school, so I could stay there and come home occasionally if I wanted. This year I decided to just come home over the break. I had an exhausting semester and I have a more exhausting one coming up, so home sounded like a good option at this point. The worst part about being home is the food. My family has health conscious food low on their priority list. Being from Georgia, they like everything a little on the fatty side or the sweet one. I used to eat like them and then figured out that it made me fat. My parents have been fairly supportive of my dietary changes although they do not wish to abide by them.
Here’s my dilemma. In the mornings, I get up, go to the gym, go to the Hospital to shadow a surgeon, and then I get home around lunch time. I have nothing to do after about 2pm everyday. The surgeries are done for the day and all I have to do is sit at home. There is bad food all over the house. I have found myself slipping a time or two and eating some food that I would rather not be in the same room as. I have only cheated on my strict diet a couple of times since I have been home, but that is too much for me. I am usually a strong willed person, but the ubiquitous temptation has been too much for me the past two days. Hopefully I will stay strong the rest of the time. I suppose the monotany of my diet is what has gotten to me.
I will be strong throughout the rest of the break!!!!
