I can’t sleep. I’m wide awake right now.
So I just watched Supersize Me.
Holy shit. The guy puked on the second day. His liver went all to hell and he had doctors yelling at him to stop the “diet.” He showed how the chicken nuggest are made. Dear God. I’m never having those again. And I LIKED them. Dammit! Damn. 60% of Americans don’t exercise. I can’t imagine that. NEVER playing any sports? I’d go nuts. I can’t get rid of enough energy in the FIRST place.
And then this guy (not the filmmaker) kept using the word “hectoring” instead of “heckling.” He did this at least 5 times within a minute. That word usage had me standing up in my living room and shouting at the TV for him to “Fucking use the right word! USE THE RIGHT WORD!”
Apparently I need to sleep more.
Actually, I should sleep. Why can’t I sleep?

I *wish* I had excess energy to burn off. Instead I am lethargic most of the time. I think part of it is caused by the excess weight I am carrying, plus dehydration, but in all of my adult years, I don’t remember an extended period of time when I had energy to spare. Ditto for teenage years, but then the sleeping was likely caused by depression rather than sluggish.
As for sports, I liked playing pick-up games with friends as a kid. I even tried the basketball team, and did summer volleyball. But I was never GOOD at them, and it’s no fun to do something you’re not good at, so I quickly lost interest. I can’t play softball, or basketball, or volleyball, or tennis. I was a bit better at raquetball, but even then I mostly sucked. I like to swim, but I’m slow and can only do a few strokes, and those likely incorrectly. So my interest in sports is practically nil.
I wish I found it easier to be physically active. I wish I had the energy for it. I know that if I start moving my body more, the energy will come, but damn, it’s hard to start. Especially when you are feeling like you are walking through water all the time. Meh.

Uh, yeah, the table at the end with all the sugar he’s consummed was scary.
My doctor had told me to drink less soda because of it’s negative effects on calcium absorbtion, and me not drinking milk ever. Having seen that movie, I’m not even craving it now.
Or fries. Who knew there was a way to make me not want fries!
