These past two months, I’ve lived for today, for immediate gratification, forgetting yesterday and tomorrow. But soon I begin reversing the effects of ingesting a lot of fats and sugars, changing my sleeping pattern daily, studying only mildly, and such “today” activities.
Unrelated to studying abroad, I shall briefly rant about social oppression about physical appearance. An ideal world would appreciate all weight ranges between and not including unhealthily underweight and unhealthily overweight. If two people bore pristine health, but one fit in a jeans size of 3 and the other fit in a jeans size of 5, both would be equally loved by others and by themselves. But I do not live in an ideal world. Only very courageous, persistent mavericks can block out the false discrepancy between wearing a healthy size 3 and a healthy size 5. I almost could proudly declare myself one of these mavericks, but I cannot.
The fats and sugars I have delightedly consumed these past two months have significantly tightened my jeans. I am ever-grateful for my health and for my rich gastronomic experiences. I will not be ashamed to look at my own pictures.
But my plan once I get home is to fit into my jeans again.
