Food Diary (a.k.a. I’m a Fat F*&K)
According to science, I am somewhere between -3 and 26 lbs overweight. Since no one without a phd in literature can understand the instructions for determining “frame size,” I am considering myself a medium frame. I also have miniature wrists and the smallest neck of any adult man. Perhaps my frame may even be small.
I exercise a lot. So here I am, finally admitting that the only reason I am not yet gracing the cover of men’s health magazine is related to my diet.
I hope you’re ready internet, because I’m considering keeping a running food diary on my tumblr to hold myself accountable. To see if this is even possible, here’s my recreation of everything I have eaten since 6 am on Thursday morning.

And that’s where I’m at. I think that I’m eating pretty healthily, so if anyone notices any issues or has suggestions for ways that I can cut down on unnecessary calories, I would love to hear them.
I plan to get famous via tumblr.
