Eating Away the Pain

Sometimes when I’m lonely, I’ll eat a pizza by myself so that I can feel lonely & also fat.   - Rob Delaney

I've been doing some pretty heavy shame eating since I've moved to Minneapolis. Cakes, cookies, chocolates, gummies, even, god help us, boston baked beans! I'm out of control. I'm ready for it to be over, but I don't see a foreseeable end. I have to muster some sort of self control soon. It's not as bad as fall '10, but probably only because Mcdonalds doesn't deliver here. Oddly, I felt more comfortable ordering delivery in Korea than I ever have stateside. I think because I can't really stutter in Korean, but there's always the possibility of getting overexcited and blustering through a conversation on the phone. Plus, the person on the other end can understand all the slop pouring from my mouth hole; whereas, in Korea I could mumble, say something in English, and hang up or something without a care in the world. Oh those were the days.  I wonder if eating fishsticks and mac and cheese is healthier than Burger King...it's gotta be, right?
