i am skinny fat

Because I don’t have enough hang ups, I am now spending my time watching Discovery Health and finding all kinds of new things that are wrong with me. For instance, this weekend I discovered that I am skinny fat. Truly, I am not making this up. Apparently there is a whole group of people who, while having a body weight in proportion to our height, have an excessively high body fat ratio…presumably from opting to eat an entire carton of Ben & Jerry’s in bed while watching Discovery Health in lieu a regular schedule of diet and exercise. So here I am, completely surrounded by fat. At the same time I am watching another show that says that most of the population is sleep deprived and that excessive sleep deprivation can lead to slow metabolism and even a pre-diabetic state. Well, whatever…am I supposed to get out of the bed or not??? I either lay there with my fatty organs, getting fatter by the minute presumably, or I get, up in which case I will undoubtedly suffer from some sleep-deprivation related malady. On the upside, I sure am glad not to have gigantism. (That was the featured malady after the fat organ show…obviously I decided to stay in bed.) While I ponder this health conundrum, I have decided to give up coffee. What am I thinking? Honestly, I couldn’t say, but I figure that substituting Kashi & soy milk for the cartons of cream and mounds of sugar in my coffee is a good start. So if you hear of some fat organed girl in Atlanta going on a caffeine withdrawal rampage, you’ll know what happened.
