i'm sure it's been said in the finer print

This morning, I recorded on TheDailyPlate.com all the foods I was planning on eating for breakfast, snacks, and lunch today. It turned out that I was gonna be eating pretty light, so I stopped on the way to work and got some coffee and one of those Reese's Whipps. The cashier who rung me up said, without provocation, "Coffee and a candy bar? That's pretty bad." I didn't really know how to respond; it was early and I had other things on my mind. It wasn't until I was back in my car that I got totally angry and indignant about the remark. Maybe it was an attempt and friendly conversation, but seriously... I don't know why folks think it's okay to pass judgement on the food choices of other people. If I was thin, would she have felt compelled to say it? It felt like a tiny dig, like she thought it was her responsiblity to call out my fatness and let me know that my purchase was a step in the wrong direction, in her opinion. Like she was doing me some kind of service. Fuck that. I could be digging too deep, she just might be a generally tactless person. But I really don't think so.

Anyway. I'm back in the secretary pen. I think I'm going to spend the morning reading an etext of The Little Prince. After lunch, I'll do some work. I'm rationing it; I don't want to run out of things to do too early in the week.
