Is it college again? My teacher binge diet

Its crunch time in the state of Mississippi. That's right my students are about to take their state standardize test ( or what I like to call them, the baby lsat). Unfortunately, the school that I teach in is walking a fine type rope between success or failure. This stress has made many people lose hope in their profession, fall into sickness, or have reoccurring nightmares about school.

Recently, to take my mind I off of the stress of state testing  by indulging in the joy of reading. I've been reading this a book about a man who goes on a quest to become the healthiest man alive. So, in honor of my college roots I decided to do the complete opposite of becoming healthy, and I embarked on a one week quest, on what I like to call: the teacher binge diet.

I made a clear effort to eat the following:
-Eat cafeteria food- including hot Cheetos, which according to a recent study to have an addictive ingredient as cocaine(don't quote me on this)
Eat out- 5 times! This is a lot being that there is only 3 restaurants that I live by.
McDonalds- many, iced mocha java drinks
- Daylight Donuts- breakfast- only
-little water
- a lot of coffee- A LOT
-NO FRUIT OR VEGETABLES

Was this a good idea? No, but I wanted to challenge myself! So let me give you a synopsis of my side effects.....

1. Running sucks
In my attempt to run. I became tired and when I heard an ice cream truck I immediately ran to the sound.

2. Crying...
I'm not a huge crier, but I whined the whole week. I felt like I was on a Lifetime movie, with no plot or climax. As a only child I have discovered that I act out my own vagina monologues, so at the end of each of my monologue as slight tear emerged from my eyes.

3. Rap music: I don't know if this my ethnic identity, but for the entire week I only wanted to listen to rap all day. Every day.

4. My students comments: All of my students wanted my food, this is abnormal because they all say that I eat too much "healthy" food. "Daaaaannnng Ms. G you got dat cheeseburger with da bbq on the side."

5. Stomach issues: If your body is used to eating bougie entrees you will have to use the restroom. I  left my class many times..


End results:

I gained two pounds. Good news, that it was only a week.
