Analysis

My food choices here come from a place of comfort, needing food but not wanting to actually work towards the food I eat. I'm powerless to conveinence. It seems as if I think the less time I spend with food, the better. The homecooked, ordered, and premade foods dominate my diet, though there are some anomalies between this weekend and my usual choices

The chocolate cake was because of a lady. Two classmates and I had gone to Hackney's after we spent the day at Printer's Row. I had mentioned to the female classmate how I don't usually order deserts at restaurants, but I was quickly swayed by seeing a nearby table's dessert. It was wonderful. It was a societal pressure, attempting to appease a girl I somewhat fancy. I also justified the consumption by A.) Not eating all day, and B.) Needing to pad my stomach for drinking later.

The Fuze drinks are new. My mom started buying them whenever they were on sale and never looked back. They're not bad, by any means. but all the nutrition is derived from artificial supplements. One 16.9 oz bottle has 45g of sugar. I could fill up a water bottle, even take some non-toxic Emergen-C with me if I wanted to spice it up, yet somehow the 10 seconds Fuze saves seem necessary.

Junk food is always eaten begrudgingly in an "eh screw it" mood towards eating. There was honestly entire cabinets and refrigerators of better food, yet I settled due to laziness. This inventory will give me some leverage to handle how my avoidance of creating and eating perferred food manifested itself.
