Food Is Taking Over My Life

     Im slowly figuring out that I have a phobia of being hungry. It's a miracle Im not triple my weight right now. It really bothers me that I have no self control over my eating habits. Sometimes I care, and then sometimes I think that life is too short to not just eat what you want to when you want to. It really is a daily struggle. Now that Im in college and the freshman 15 haunts me everyday, I am a lot more conscious about it. I also feel sorry for the people that are actually struggling with weight issues much more severe than mine. I realize how hard it is for me to just lose a few pounds, and I couldnt imagine the stress accompanied with having to lose any more than that. And what's even worse, is that stress is linked to overeating and weight gain, making it even harder to reach your goal weight.
     What really pisses me off though is how expensive healthy food is in comparison to fatty, greasy, unhealthy junk food as we call it. As a broke college student, there is no wonder freshman 15 is a serious problem. If healthy food was made cheaper for everyone, I guarantee you more people would eat it. Price is another excuse we use not to eat healthy, but sometimes its not even an excuse, it really is just too expensive to live the healthy lifestyle. I will never understand why nutritional foods are more expensive than the foods we are told over and over again not to eat. So frustrating. In the meantime, I'm going to the gym!
