Pondering

Sometimes I just sit around and think about the craziest things. Today I randomly was thinking about God. I was thinking about the 7 deadly sins. They are nuts, flat out. Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. So if you eat an extra doughtnut, that means you are going to hell because you are gluttonous? These sins are everyday life. A lot of these sins are feelings that people feel everyday. Why would we be punished for things that we can not help? for things we are born with? As long as you are not hurting anyone or anything, then you should be fine.

It's so easy

It's so easy to become anorexic or Bulimic. I weight 115 and I have had moments recently where I looked at my body and said wow I need to lose weight. However, even when I have self conscious moments where I just want to stop eating for one day, I realize that I love food too much. I am italian and food is my life. And then sometimes I think throwing up, but I hate throwing up. So I could not become anorexic or bulimic even if I wanted to. My point is, it is just really easy to fall into an eating disorder. It starts off with I will just skip lunch or I just won't eat when people can't see me. And then it turns into only eating a spoonful of cottage cheese all day. Life is hard and there is a lot of pressure to be perfect. Some people cannot handle being less than perfect.

The Workplace

Are overweight women treated differently in the work place? are they treated differently than the typical skinny woman? are they not thought of as serious? These are some questions that came to mind after I had a conversation with my mother. She is an overweight woman working as a branch manager and BB&T. She thinks that they are treated differently.
