The School of Medicine is a Candy Trap
I hope I’m not alienating our other(?) readers with this post; hopefully, you’ll be able to relate when you think of your own school/workplace.
Exhibit A: All of the places where I can find candy or baked goods on the 4th floor of the school of medicine:
I’m a candy junky. On a particularly stressful day on the 4th floor I’ll hit one place after the other, searching for my next fix. On occasion, I’ll change up the style of my stride in hopes that the nice ladies in their cubicles at the registrar office don’t realize I’m not two different students pilfering mini Twix bars from their bowl. Candy consumption often reaches meal-sized proportions. At the end of the day, when the only office left open is Dean Haynie’s, I will even resort to the diabetic, sugar-free candies that taste like old lady
Exhibit B: The Registrar Office Candy Bowl. At 9am.
Yes, I know, it’s bad. I’m telling you this because (warning: self-absorbed New Years Resolution) I’m giving up added sugar and artificial sweeteners until 2nd year ends in March. That means no more baked goods, soda, candy, JIF peanut butter, sweetened coffee, and the like. I’ll make allowances for a little sugar in savory food. This is happening for several boring reasons, but one that might interest you — when I was abroad a couple years ago I accidentally went without desserts of any kind for about a month. My first piece of chocolate was. Amazing. I want that unjaded feeling again. More reasons forthcoming if I stick with this and you stick with me. Thanks for reading!

I took your advice when we last spoke and haven’t added salt or pepper to anything I’ve cooked or eaten. I can’t do without artificial sweetener due to my blood being 97% coffee when I’m in school, but I can probably do without the salt and pepper.
Let’s see how long it lasts
Haha…pepper should be okay for you Omri! Just the salt. That’ll be my next step, haven’t gotten around to the salt yet. Let me know how it goes!!
Actually, it has nothing to do with health. I have fine blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It’s more of a “resetting my palate” kind of thing. Figure if I give it up for long enough I wont’ need to season as much.
Oh my bad! That’s actually a great idea…even better than I had assumed.
mmm, old lady.
My favorite flavor is librarian
hahaha thanks for including me! mah junk food appears intermittently, I’d say 🙂
That map is ridiculous. In a good way.
Thanks! It’s ridiculous how long it’s been since I’ve seen you, hope you’re doing well!
