Coffee and Weight Loss

If you were hoping I would tell you some secret about how coffee helps you lose weight, you assumed wrong. They are merely just two different subjects in my blog. Sorry to disappoint. 

After my disappointing midterm last night, I went to buy some coffee. I figured it might help ease my anger knowing that I had a wide and delicious selection of coffee. It eased my anger a little bit. But I know that even in my darkest, most money-broke days, I will have coffee no matter what. It took me 6 months to run out of my moderate supply. I easily have a years worth of coffee right now. I have so many different kinds to try, it's just simply awesome. I now have sampling many coffees to look forward to.

On a slightly more positive note, I have lost a lot of weight. My genetics and youthful metabolism are still playing in my favor. I only have to lose 4 more pounds to get to my ultimate goal again. I gained exactly 18 lbs over the summer. I've lost 14 of it in roughly 3 weeks just by eating my calorie limit with healthy foods. I haven't had time to do a ton of exercise. I've only been able to do weight lifting 3 days a week for very short periods of time. I would like to lift more often, or at least do some more cardio. That would at least help me lose the stubborn fat that's clinging to my belly. Losing weight easily is really a double-edged sword. On one hand, I lose weight easily and rapidly. On the other hand, I gain it back just as easily. To compound things, my love for fattening and greasy foods knows no bounds. In past years, I didn't have much of a sweet tooth. I've found that I love pastries and ice cream almost as much as greasy foods. The only thing standing between me and morbid obesity to the point of getting disability checks, is my fragile self-control. My self-control fluctuates more than the mood swings of a pregnant and bi-polar crack addict. Even when I had gained that amount of weight, it wasn't insanely obvious, except for maybe in my face. I've done really well losing the amount of weight I have and not coming close to my original heavy weight. I try to stay positive by thinking I've kept off a ton of weight over the past year and a half-ish. I just have to keep on this path for ideally, the rest of my life.

I had nothing decent to write about today, so you got stuck reading about my coffee and weight loss.
(This also helps me keep track of my progress.)

Sucks for you.
