It was PI day earlier this week and today is St\\’s Patrick\\’s day. Both times, I didn\\’t realize it until I noticed this odd activity on campus. For the former, some nerdy students set up a pie room on the fifth floor of Wean. Then today, I obviously saw a lot of green and someone handed me a white frosted cupcake with an…Italy flag.<\/p>\n
Today one of my group members said aloud as she was leaning over to pick up a pen, \\”Whoa, I am so fat.\\”<\/p>\n
I was surprised and gave her a look. She explained, \\”I can\\’t even reach for it.\\”<\/p>\n
At times, I hate this self-conscious culture. Do we have to worry all the time? I attended the \\”closing ceremony\\” of the 6-week fitness challenge that I almost finished (I couldn\\’t finish because I was sick one of the 6 weeks and couldn\\’t catch up after that) and they served healthy food–soups, bagels, sliced fruit, and vegetables. Of course, they also included water as a beverage. And I could sense people\\’s analytical eye as they surveyed the types of food. Too oily. Too fatty.<\/i> I don\\’t want to be someone who looks in the mirror and scruntizes everything. What happened to pure enjoyment of food? What happened to the accepting who you are…and trying to be a better person every day?<\/p>\n
