Starvation Mode-Shmode!

Today was a great day: felt huge love for Job, doing beautiful art in Photoshop all day, just feeling very grateful. Also ate just 1 grapefruit all day. Excellent! A bit worried about no one from company K calling (yet), but not in panic mode.

Midday, S2 stops by my desk to chat. S2 always makes my shallow heart smile, bc she is the kind of sexy bitch I can roll with and smart, too (always agrees with me).
A thought-provoking deep conversation occurred between me and S2:
We get on the topic of the Only Diet that Works for Us (not eating.period). We bond about what bullshit exercise is, causing uncontrollable hunger and huge legs. Though, ok, probably good for heart. Then, she brings up that dubious concept of 'body going into starvation mode and actually getting fatter'. I give her a side eye and share one of my thoughts from the Dark Side.
"S2," I say in a teacherly manner. "there is no such thing. It's a lie that fat people made up to make everyone else get fat." I let that unorthodox bomb sink in and wait for reaction. She narrows pretty eyes and shakes the red mane...yes.
"think about it!" I carry on with excitement. "Have you ever seen coverage of famine on tv, and the reporter will show a bunch of fatties and say, ...and as you can see these poor people
here went into the STARVATION MODE and now are unable to lose any weight! This is a horrible famine."
"OMG" S2 says. "Ive thought that in the past". Like I sed, girlfriend is v.smart.
I think about all similar situations: like why did they drill a tiny tunnel to send the Chilean miners food in tiny tubes??? Why not just tell them, hey dudes, don't worry. You will go into starvation mode any day, so just chill. You see? Starvation mode-shmode!
Feel super motivated!
After work I go to the sauna and and have myself a good shvitz for an hour. Life is pretty good: single, loving job, almost thin with all the time in the world for doing exactly what I feel like.
If it was taking place in NYC it would be perfect...
