School started today, which meant that last few weeks have been a blur of meetings, faculty workshops, employee picnics, student welcome activities, school-mandated volunteering (doesn't that defeat the purpose?), syllabi writing, and all that good stuff that happens as professors scramble to be ready for the school year. Also, a lot of my eating isn't recorded here due to the immense amount of feeding that occurred at these college-sponsored functions.
The idea for this blog came from Tucker Shaw's book, Everything I Ate: A Year in the Life of my Mouth. The premise of the book is that the author photographs and records every single thing he eats...for an entire year. I don't think it was a weight loss thing for him, but as I flipped through I thought, "I would be so embarrassed if everyone knew how much I ate and what I ate."
Fast forward a few years. Graduate school was not kind to my figure, and since an extensive exercise routine is simply out of the question (I'm lazy), making my eating habits open to public ridicule seems like the best way to force myself to change. So please -- ridicule away as I chronicle everything I eat.
