Today, I went on a sugar binge ride.
I do not have a sweet tooth, but once in a while, especially in high stress moments, I load up on sugar. It is a poor coping mechanism, which is why I do it. Beating myself up for having too much sugar, distracts me from high stress situations.
I am finally setting up my new place, and the level of supervision required to get the basics right in this country should come with an award.
I am thankful for occasional distractions. They serve a purpose.
Three strange things happen whenever I look at old pictures –
Firstly, I look trim. Much trimmer than I felt in the moment I took the picture.
Secondly, I look like I had no dress sense. And I usually took pictures with my favorite clothes.
Lastly, I look like a darker version of myself. Almost as if everyone was darker in the past, even though it did not seem so in the present.
Three things I learn from the exercise –
Firstly, your body is okay. Eat right, exercise, but stop comparing your body to others with a different genetic makeup.
Secondly, fashion is a fad. Don’t over-indulge.
Lastly, time is an enabler that helps to project a better you. Embrace it.
