Being healthy and all that crap

My Dad is a health FREAK. The most extreme health freak I've ever met. He goes to the gym just about every day, he's always eating the nastiest stuff (protein shakes, tuna, etc.) and he seriously has less than 5% body fat. The most physically fit person EVER.

This picture is like three years old, but you get the idea!


I, on the other hand, love my french fries and Mountain Dew. If he sees me at lunch, he cringes to see a box of fried food on my desk! But I've always had a high metabolism so I've never had to worry about what I eat.

Now that I'm gaining weight and look bigger than I ever have before, my Dad has decided that his daily goal is to get me to eat healthier. Ha. Ha. Ha. I keep trying to explain to him that I do try to eat healthy now that I'm pregnant, but I just refuse to give up my french fries!

He left town for a week yesterday. So inside I'm thinking "I can really eat bad this week...no one to fuss at me!" And then I get to work this morning and see this on my desk...



A protein bar. Bless his heart. He tries so hard. He actually bought a whole box but begged me to 'just try it'.

I just tried it.....seriously the nastiest thing I've ever tasted. At least I gave it a shot though, right?

HAHAHA! That is so funny! I know what you mean! I am a sports medicine major and so everyone assumes I should eat really healthy stuff and all I want is a cheeseburger and some french fries! ahahah! I got over the stereotype a long time ago and now I just eat whatever I want! :)
