Bahahahaha

OMG. I saw this and started to laugh so hard. My dad used to send me to school with the biggest lunches ever! Except it wasn't purely out of fear, being on multiple daily injections (Regular and NPH insulin at that) I NEEDED all that food. He also made a point of including no or low-carb snacks, just in case I got hungry, but didn't really need any more carbs.


Now, to say this thing was massive is probably a major understatement; it was really closer to a snack truck, or maybe even a portable grocery store. So with that image in your mind, the best story to come of this situation: I remember going to the bathroom and not having anywhere to put my  ginormous lunch, so I put it on the floor (I know, maybe eww, but it was in a plastic bag.) Then I heard these three popular girls go, "HOLY! SHIT! Whose MASSIVE lunch is that???" Yeah, I stayed in the stall until they left. I wasn't mortified or afraid, I just couldn't think of what to say to them... like, really, how do you come back from that? Anyway, I seem to remember I did feel a little self-conscious about my space-shuttle-sized lunches after, but not enough to stop lugging them around... 

At any rate, now, I honestly just think the whole ordeal really funny.

I often wonder how many carbs I'm carrying around with me. It's always weighing me down. I never seem to be able to resist adding something right before we head out the door!

yeah, me too... one time i was about to leave the house and realized i had two tubes of dex tabs, a pack of the gel and a bottle of the liquid blast. i reconsidered and left half of it at home, but you never know when you're going to need 100 g of fast acting carbs!?! :)
