Dear Metabolism,
I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been reflecting on our relationship, and I can’t help but notice how distant we’ve become. Remember when I was in my twenties? I could indulge in a whole pizza for lunch and still feel confident slipping into a bikini later that day. Those carefree times were filled with cheeseburgers and push-ups, and you were always ready to keep things in check. I truly miss those days.
Lately, though, I feel like I’m putting in all the effort while you’re not pulling your weight. For the past week, I have been sipping on those green smoothies—yes, the ones that resemble a bizarre mixture of baby food and post-party regrets. I gulp them down and crank out some sit-ups, but what do I get in return? Still jiggly, and quite frankly, it’s getting old.
Let’s be honest; it seems you’ve become a bit complacent. You don’t call, you don’t check in, and cake—oh, sweet cake—has become my nemesis. Why can’t you just work a little harder on the dessert front? I could even forgo beer on game days, and we can have a serious chat about last weekend’s ice cream escapade if it means we can find a middle ground on the cake situation.
I’ve been dedicated to rekindling our bond. I’ve ramped up my workouts and started eating smaller meals, just like you suggested. Yet, each morning I step on the scale and face disappointment. It feels like you’ve let me down, and I can’t shake the feeling that my skinny jeans are silently judging me.
I need you to step up. Take those 12 almonds I had for a mid-morning snack and work your magic. I even choked down a celery stick yesterday—do you know how torturous that was? It needed three hefty spoonfuls of peanut butter just to be edible, but hey, at least peanut butter has protein, right? I’m genuinely confused about what you need from me these days. Is it low fat, high protein, no carbs, or a combination of all three? I’m willing to adapt to whatever you require.
I must admit, I’ve noticed you seem to hang out more with my partner, Jake. He can eat what he wants, gain a bit, and then poof—you’re back at his side, and he looks great again. It’s not fair!
I know I haven’t been entirely truthful. Perhaps I overindulged in nachos last night, and my interpretation of a “glass of wine” could use some revisiting. I may have taken the whole chocolate study too far while PMSing, but I miss the days when you were eager to help me out.
So here’s the plan: I promise to leave the Doritos out of our home and scale back on the tequila-fueled spring break nights. In return, can we agree that I might occasionally enjoy a slice of cake without it turning into a muffin top?
Let’s work on this together. I’m committed, and I hope you can meet me halfway.
With warm regards,
Sarah
