I know I’m probably going to get killed in the comments for this, but I like being conventionally attractive. It’s an easy life.

I decided I would use OkCupid and Craigslist (yes, even scary ol’ Craigslist) so I could have dinner three times a week without opening my wallet.
food
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.

Out of all the secrets I've told here, intimate details of my drug and alcohol problems, bedwetting, compulsive promiscuity, and various close-ups of my fats, I feel most ashamed of what I'm about to tell you.

I thought I would have all of these awful feelings after taking the first bite, but I had only happy, warm feelings that come with eating a bit of food you have really missed.

budgeting
According to the USDA, a man, woman and 6-year-old child spend $476.30 on groceries -- on the “thrifty” plan. So at $129.99, I’ll be putting my unconventional money-saving philosophies to the test.

I don't know about you, but when I want a treat, I don't want to know how many calories are in it. STOP HARSHING MY MELLOW!

I would like to thank olives, bread, hummus and alcohol. You guys are the real heroes here.
breakups
In terms of emotional damage, it occurred to me that I was feeling a greater sense of loss over the stolen pizza than my recently failed relationship.

Social interaction sustains us, so does ingesting food -- and when both are of the highest quality in a place designed with respect for that, taking a quick pic with my iPhone feels like giving the entire event short shrift.

Spring always makes me inexplicably mopey, to the degree that I sometimes have trouble putting food in my mouth on the regular. If you have this problem, too, I have a few suggestions for meals you can survive on until May.
