A brief introduction of space and time
Really quickly, I'd like to introduce myself: My name is Mary Jones, and I've been eating poison since...well, as far back as I can remember, really.
My mother told me the dispiriting story of how she gave up on providing me with proper eating habits. Up to the age of say, 2, she (a hippie, as she was) fed me granolas, unsweetened yogurts, organic baby food, carrots, etc. My father gave me a Dorito one day, and I latched onto the bag as if it were full of sweet, delicious crack. And it was. My mother, abhorred that my father undermined her authority, gave up, and I've pretty much eaten whatever I wanted whenever I wanted since then.
Around 14 I swapped water for soda. I have been drinking coke in lieu of water ever since. Sure, sometimes I'll switch to diet, but I never drink water recreationally. I have fast food for at least 2 of my three meals a day, and I never eat a salad unless it's an occasion.
At the moment, I'm trying to lose weight for New York. But all this means is I eat less garbage then normal, not better quality food. I am Mary Jones. I am killing myself. I am loving every minute of it
