Chapter 17: Skinny Fatties

Well I was own my way back to my room a few minutes ago after a 3 hour workout and some shopping at Kroger (I had run out of Whole Grain Bread, Mustard, and Low-Fat Turkey lol) when I got on the elevator and saw this guy standing there. He was probably around 120lbs and had about 3% body fat. Then what shocked me the most was that he was holding, in his right hand, a 24-pack of Oreo cookies and a Dr. Pepper, then in his left hand he was holding 3, yes THREE, Rice Krispy Treats! That's insane. I wanted to look at him and just say, "Fatass" but I didn't know him and I figured he was like a master a kungfu or something so I kept my mouth shut. I just turned around to face the door and rolled my eyes.

People like that drive me insane. I call them Skinny Fatties because they are. My roommate is one of those people lol (Love ya Mike!). They could eat all day long, and they could eat crap and they would still not gain an ounce. It drives me crazy. I eat healthy food and I gain weight, let alone eating 24 oreos, three rice krispy treats and a Dr. Pepper.

Well what really matters is that I know that stuff is bad for you now. About six months ago that would have been a meal for me. That and probably a bag of chips and some other random crap. Don't get me wrong, I knew it was bad then, but I never took a second thought about what I put into my body. Now that I have been watching what I eat I've realized it's so hard to eat healthy unless you fix the food on your own. So that's what I've been doing. I've been eating lots of fruit and I fix alot of turkey sandwiches on whole grain bread with some mustard and a slice of low-fat cheese. And that will be a meal for me now, versus what I would have before.

To all you Skinny Fatties: If you can eat that stuff and stay skinny then more power to ya, but I understand now the importance of what I put into my body. Have fun eating all that junk, because when you hit about thirty and your metabolism catches up with you, don't come crying to me when you're no longer a Skinny Fatty, but just a Fatty. Have fun :)
