to eat or not to eat....that is the question

My friends and i vowed never to gain weight as we get older. One of them even shared that once you turn 16, the baby fat you don't shed will be harder to take off.

I'm now 10lbs heavier... and a testament to my friends warning.

Working odd hours (and im not talking about being in a call center), i have no time (nor the energy) to get exercise. Last time i went to a gym was in 4th year college, right before i started working. Unfortunately, the time i was most fit was the last time i ever saw myself with abs.

Though i'd hate to admit it, all those advertisements that you see everywhere (billboards, TVCs, etc) are starting to affect me. I get bothered and ask myself, "why do i look like this if i can look like that?!" Hell, if Don Zulueta can do it why can't i?

Then you realize the practicality of it all. People spend tens of thousands just avail of it. If you see the endorsers, and check what they do everyday... well, they don't do much. All those money with nothing to do. It's a luxury i tell you.

So why am i bothered so much? Am i being pulled in by trend? Am i getting old? or am i just really getting fat?

Many would say the latter. I dont blame them. But having my own money to spend sets me off to constantly pamper myself-- in other words eat! Why settle for fast food when you can splurge during lunch?

I'm still not sure. Maybe they were just good ads.
