Food Diary: Going Home

Posted by TallGirl in food, Health, Tallgirl

I’m originally from Philadelphia, and now that I’ve spent a decade living in California, I’m astonished by how horrible my Back-East Eating Habits are.

I’ve been living in Eastern Daylight Time since late night Saturday, and have consumed, on average, 13,240,000 calories per day.  I have eaten:

  • Ham & cheese omelette with a side of pancakes and plenty of syrup
  • Iced lemon pound cake… for breakfast
  • A sandwich slathered in blue cheese dressing, with a side of chips
  • Canneloni in cream sauce
  • French toast, sausage, bacon, pancakes and fruit salad (guilt begins to set in)
  • Ham & cheese sandwich and fruit salad (guilt becomes more intense)
  • Vegetarian burrito bowl from Chipotle (not the worst thing ever)
  • Chocolate… and chocolate
  • Donuts
  • Horrible pizza
  • Chocolate
  • A deep-fried chicken sandwich with wing sauce, ranch dressing and fries
  • More donuts

I still haven’t had any cheesesteaks, hoagies, soft pretzels, Tastykakes, good pizza or any other fat and calorie-laden favorites, so I have all of that to look forward to tomorrow and Thursday.  If I can make it back to California on the 10th with even one pair of pants that can still button, it will be a miracle.
