Power Shape

I've started talking to my vegetables. The avocado needed reassurance about its ripeness, and the quinoa felt neglected. This is fine. My social life has been replaced by intricate meal prep and deep, philosophical debates with a sweet potato about my life choices.

I've discovered that "detox" is just a fancy word for being simultaneously hangry and over-hydrated. My main source of joy is now the dramatic tear of Velcro on my too-loose pants. It's a tiny, satisfying symphony that almost makes the kale smoothies worth it.

My new hobby is calculating how many minutes on the treadmill equate to one slice of pizza. It's advanced mathematics, really. I now view all food not as sustenance, but as a debt to be paid in lunges. My body is a temple under a very strict, very confusing renovation.

I've officially entered the stage where my own sweat is my greatest enemy and my fitness tracker is a judgmental wrist-warden. It just asked if I was "taking a gentle stroll" when I was actually sprinting for the last cookie. This is an abusive relationship, but my step count has never been higher.

My kitchen now looks like a chemistry lab, but for sad people. I'm weighing broccoli like it's contraband and logging a single grape with forensic seriousness. The only thing shrinking faster than my patience is the portion of my favorite food. My motivation is currently powered by spandex and spite.
