the upside of crippling poverty.

as you might have gathered from my previous post, dear reader, i am little broke at the minute. and while this might mean i feel the need to drink the disgusting bottle of domestic beer from the back of my fridge, it also has some positive aspects. the most immediate of which is that i have lost about five pounds in the few weeks that i’ve been hard up. i have attributed this not to my lack of eating but rather to the fact that i have to stick to a pre-determined meal plan that i came up with while at the grocery store. usually, when i have money, i am free to run out and buy a frozen pizza and a bag of chips if i feel like it… but not this week. this week i’ve had to stick to the food that i’ve already purchased because i simply can’t afford to stray from the plan. which is not to say i haven’t been eating well, either. actually through some careful planning and purchasing i’ve been eating like a king. tonight for instance i enjoyed a meatless burger with baked yam fries. delicious.

anyway, back to my point, i’ve been losing weight this week which puts me back on my track to reach my target weight of 0. when i weigh 0, i’ll just be a bitchy gas that floats around and insults people. fabulous, obviously.
