I found a relic of my past. "I don't overeat, I just need to start running!"
So, I don't overeat anymore except on a rare occasion, and I don't eat anything like I used to. I was one of those people who swore up and down that I didn't eat badly - that I just needed to start running and the pounds would melt off (like I was in any shape to run at all). Once in a while I'd take a photo of my dinner. This is what I'd have at the sushi restaurant a short walk from my campus dorm room, about three times per week. The only thing you don't see is the bottle of teriyaki sauce I'd douse each piece in.
I remember this night. I was so lonely. My room was boring and I had no friends. I got stoned out of my mind and walked into the restaurant, sat all by myself, and watched Netflix on my phone while eating this - all of this. I was so depressed because no one wanted to date me and I didn't feel comfortable "getting out there". I knew I was doing things wrong but didn't know how to change. I wish I could give old me a call and tell him it's going to be okay - and tell him to order a couple of salmon rolls rather than whatever ungodly rolls I had that evening. This photo is dated 2015, but it feels like a lifetime ago!
