The Skinny on Me

Day eleven: What are your family’s roommates eating habits like?

I don’t live at home, but for the purpose of this exercise, I’ll use my roommate. My roommate, D, like me, is also trying to lose weight. Though she only really needs/wants to lose 5-10 pounds, so it’s not as extreme as my own weight-loss efforts. 

We both cook healthy meals; we both try to eat things like 100 calorie kettle popcorn in place of whatever yummy morsel our sweet tooth is edging us for. We both eat smaller meals, more little snacks, throughout the day, rather than three basic meals. 

The only main differences are she is lactose intolerant, and I’m trying my darnedest to not eat processed carbs. 

Day twelve: What are your friend’s eating habits like?

Well, most of us are trying to be healthy. We all have our ideal shapes and sizes and none of us are at them. Although, most of my friends aren’t as overweight as I am. 

One of them is trying to boost her future housewife skills, cooking meals that may or may not be low fat, low cal or low carb, but delicious nonetheless. One of them is learning to cut out dairy and trying to eat less meat. One of them is trying to gain weight/muscle (my one skinny little guy friend). 

Luckily, none of my friends are the eat, eat, eat kind or the sweets, sweets, sweets kind.
