Frosting Isn't Lettuce, And Other Foods I Pretend Are "Healthy"

I'd estimate that at the end of the day, my diet consists approximately of 30% mooched work snacks and 70% congealed unsaturated fat covered with hot sauce, along with a couple of bunches of kale thrown in here and there. I carry around a lot of weird guilt about how unhealthy that is.

I Broke My Foot And It Somehow Fixed My Food Issues

According to my doctor, a person with a broken bone needs as many calories as a “very active” person during the healing process -– and, at least in my case, my body has responded with a deep and abiding hunger. Smart move, body.

I Just Walked Down the Street Eating a Donut and Other Fat Girl Rules I Break

Anything that could be classified as "junk food" could not be eaten (or even carried) in public. Eating alone, in fact, behind closed doors, was preferable whenever possible.
