As completely silly as it is 

I still like celebrating my birthday. 

I guess some people won’t be happy 

Until I don’t care about it,

And become just as bitter and entrenched 

As they are and say things like 

“A day is a day is a day...”

But not me! 

Today is a big day for me. 

I never really made up my mind

To do low carb. It just kinda happened. 

Being stranded in the Grand Canyon 

As I was. 

I never really looked in the mirror 

and shook my little plump fist,

And said to the Fat Girl looking back at me

Hey! I want to change! 

I just kinda fell into it. 

Now that I’ve been fasting for a year +

I have the feeedom to eat 

Pretty much anything I want. 

But should I- just because I can? 

Probably not. 

My blood work revealed basically 

No changes in half a year of Ramadan Food. 

Namely Roti, and occasional rice. 

Things I never thought I could eat again. 

But what of gluten? 

AGES? Leptin? 

Lectins? 

It’s not all about Glucose

And Weight. 

More to come. 

I’m cracking open a monster
