The End of an Era

Today marks the last day of my sick leave, which means tomorrow I will be back at work. It has been over three months since I have been back at work. I am feeling a combination of excitement and nervousness at the same time. I am sure that I will have plenty to write about going back to work tomorrow, but there are more pressing issues at hand.

For the last three to four months I have been attempting to eat as much as was humanly possible to gain weight. Sometimes that meant eating things that were not exactly "healthy" for me. That comes to an end tomorrow. I told myself that I would continue to gorge myself as much as possible until I had to return to work, and then it was time to start eating healthy again. That is not to say that I will not indulge myself from time to time, but my days of waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage and toast for breakfast number 1 (I have been typically eating breakfast twice a day) are gone. It is a banana and orange juice for breakfast for me tomorrow. So as I prepare myself for this new "healthy" eating, I would like to look back at the foods that I will miss the most.

Top Ten Foods That I will Miss

10.) The Onion Rings from The Tarpon Turtle

9.) The Tijuana Trio for Tijauna Flats (especially the queso dip)

8.) Krispy Kreme Donuts (any type, any time)

7.) Entenmann's Raspberry Danish

6.) Double BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with Onion Straws from the Cheesecake Factory

5.) Chili's Chicken Crispers

4.) Bloomin' Onion from Outback

3.) Milkshakes

2.) Anything that Andy cooks

1.) Buffalo Wings from Hooter's

...and I wonder why people are calling me fat.

As I wipe a tear from my eye, and drool from the side of my mouth, I turn my attention to the organic fruits and vegetables and other healthy food that will now become my life. There goes another tear.
