Ok, here's the deal:

Today at work, my insurance guy stopped by to aggravate me and check up on my equipment (actually, he's just a lonely/depressing soul who craves human interaction). We're talking for a few minutes, and he comes out and asks me if I cook. Just out of the blue. I tell him not really, and he says, "Jesus man, it shows."

So thats it. I'm a malnourished unhealthy looking dude. I gotta eat.

Problem is, I really don't like to cook and I'm never really hungry. This is probably because I'm a "bachelor" sort of. The girlfriend lives about an hour away, so I don't see her every night. She's a good cook, but when she's not here I have to fend for myself. Typically, my day is like this:

- Wake up at 5:45am and have a cup of coffee
- Work until 3:00pm sweating my ass off in the hot sun without any liquids. I don't drink anything all day at work.
- Get back to my office and drink a beer or 2 with a few guys from my crew. (By the way, these few beers get me drunk off my ass since I am so dehydrated. Great fun. God, that sounds bad.)
- Get home and drink a soda.
- Later in the evening...who knows?! I'll eat anything like mac and cheese, 2 tuna sandwiches (eat these alot), .....that's really about it. Sometimes I won't eat at all. I don't even really get hungry. My stomach has probably shrunk to the size of a walnut.

And I smoke too, which I heard can decrease your appetite. I'd like to quit, but I need to pick something else up in its place. Like excercising. Holy crap, did I just say that?! Funny thing is though, I really don't need to excercise. Dare I say it... I'm probably more fit than anyone I know who works out on a regular basis. Like I said I work outside all day and could probably run a mile in less than 6 minutes even though I haven't ran in about 5 years. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I'm 23 years old... probably about 5'6" and 140 lbs. Body fat is...ehhh I don't know the percentage, but it's extremely low.

So what's the deal? How can I trick myself into thinking I need to eat and exercise and quit smoking? I sort of wish my body would just say, "Fuck you asshole, You eat SHIT and treat me like a garbage can... Now suffer the consequences!!" I know it sounds bad, but something like that would force me to get it together.
