I'm hoping to find better ways of eating. Working at 's is

great and I have to be highly active and I never want to eat. After

making burgers all day and seeing just how much fat comes off them,

I want to forget about food altogether. One of the managers there

was kidding about how " people eat this kind of food as a way of

killing themselves. They want someone else to cook it so they are

not committing suicide. We are their killers. " After hearing that I

have MAYBE one burger a week and harly eat when I get home. I do

drink plenty of water and veggies are making it into my meals (when

I do get to eat)more and more. Food is a curse around here.

I'm lucky, I don't smoke. I have started to drink soda (in little

shot glass sized paper cups)at work, but more and more I'm heading

to the lemonade drinks. I also know not to have too much coffee. The

first few days (I had one week of training just before christmas) I

would come home in pain and find I had muscles I didn't know I had.

Then I started work just before the new year and all that hurts is

my hand and wrist.

When I realized I lost weight: one of the jobs I have to do at

's is filtering the fryers. Whoever did them the night before

screwed up and I had to clean grease that leaked on the floor and

then pull out the whole thing.... Long story short, I was kneeling

on the floor dismanteling the sucker when I realised my knees didn't

hurt and I didn't hear them pop. I had hurt my right knee when I was

16 (I'm 32 now) and I was told that if I didn't lose weight that I

would be in a wheelchair. No problems with the knee at the moment. I

hope I never see that wheelchair!
