Day 1

It's currently 9:25 and I have a panging pain coming from the furthest tooth on the lower half of the left side of my mouth. I'm being very specific because it hurts so much that if you've ever felt this on the right side, it couldn't have been quite as bad. And if you've felt this on the left side, but not the furthest molar on the lower half, then shut the fuck up. You don't know what pain is. I say this definitively even though I'm aware that you don't know the source of the excruciating burden I carry in my mouth. Besides the fact that I always thought that my canine teeth made me look like an extra on True Blood, and it's always been emotionally aching to have none of the benefits and all of the responsibilities, I also had a (in the words of Dr.Selden) "whopper sized" cavity that was eating the nerve under my tooth. One root canal later and I am left with the realization that I can not continue the eating habits I employed before.

That's just on one hand.
On the other hand I am a (in the words of myself) "double whopper and extra bacon hold the lettuce sized" 160 lbs. Immediately after I wrote the former sentence, I went on http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ to calculate my BMI. I put in my weight, and my height (5'7), to find that my body mass index is a "whopper sized" 25.1, normal weight being from 18.5 to 24.9 and overweight being anywhere from 25-29.9. On one hand I was relieved that I was not classified as obese because that's certainly the way I feel whenever I have to wear anything not black and spandex. On the other, this means I can possibly have heart complications and die, even though now that I think about it liver and lung complications is more likely to be the quicker cause of my tragic death.

What am I going to do about it?
This waste of cyber space is intended to be my food diary/area for recording my trials,tribulations,and tips for being healthy. Disclaimer: I'm overweight so you may not want to try everything I say. That's like going to a hairstylist with a short, frizzy mane and then being disappointed she couldn't give you a Victoria Secret style blow out.
