Stop. Buying. Me. Smoothies. Dammit.

One of my employees has a penchant for... Well, food. Mmmm, food.  Today she bought me a smoothie.  Which is the second time in three days she has done that.

I want to hit her.  I don't, for three reasons.  One, because I'm her boss and I think smacking your employees is frowned upon in certain circles - namely the circles that sign my paychecks.  Two, I really, really adore her.  And three, she is a heavily tattooed ex-heroin addict who could easily pummel my face into the ground even though I have about eight inches on her. 

(The employee is Zoe, btw.  She's in the post about horseshoe crabs.)

So, today I had a stupid amount of food.  Fuckitall.
  • Soy Chai Smoothie - 530
  • Zucchini Marinara  - 110
  • Broccoli - 60
  • Whole Grain Wheat Thins - 140
  • Crystal Light - 10

TOTAL: 850 kcals

God damn everything.  God damn that smoothie thing. It was the difference between having 850 kcals today, and having only 320.  Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I got looked at funny while I sat around figuring out the calories in it.  It was a chore, let me tell you.  First of all, she got me a medium, and the store only posts the nutritional information for smalls.  And then, they post the info for using whole or skim milk - not soy.  So I took the difference in calories between whole and skim versions to figure out the quantity of milk in the drink.  Then I adjusted the caloire amounts based on the brand of soymilk they used, calculated that out for a medium drink by scaling up, and to top it off, I didn't drink the final 1.5 ounces of the drink (which, yes, I weighed on a food scale to see how much I was throwing away).  Anyway, it was 530 calories of delicious hell.

Oh, and I almost fainted at work.  Who the fuck almost faints on 850 calories?  Fuck fuck fuck, it's just pathetic.

Tomorrow I have work.  Worky worky work. Friday and Satruday I SHOULD have off, but Saturday might be a bust.  Friday, at least, I'm going to go shopping and cook myself a whole bunch of ED-friendly foodstuffs.

Oh, except my roommate wants to take me out to dinner.  GOD DAMMIT, I had forgotten about that for a minute.
