This morning, The Boyfriend said I was looking very skinny! Then he joked and said I should rename my blog “Fat Cat, Skinny Girl<\/strong><\/span>.” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Big Boy<\/p><\/div>\n

It was hilarious–but sadly, true…My kitty is quite the hefty boy. He’s a very long tabby cat and he’s got some flab to him. He was homeless and abused as a kitten. I rescued him and I think he always feels like he will run out of food.<\/p>\n

The Cats<\/p><\/div>\n

As a result of this, he eats too much too fast (sounds like his mama!). Fat Kitty is 18 pounds. He’s been put on “diets” before but they don’t work. I can’t limit the feeding time either, because the other cat, Maya, would never get any food.<\/p>\n

I’ve read studies about the psychology behind food issues. I think it can translate to the animal kingdom as much as it can translate to us.<\/p>\n

Studies show that people in big families often have anxiety surrounding meal times and the fear of not having enough food to go around. As a result, people overeat, or eat too fast to make sure they get enough food.<\/p>\n

QUESTION: Do you have food issues stemming from your childhood or upbringing?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Sometimes I still see the evidence of my own food issues–namely the food guilt and hiding food or being ashamed of what I’m eating.<\/p>\n

ANOTHER FAST RUN!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I ran at lunch today and had another great run! The sun was out! I didn’t wear my jacket! All pluses. I put on sunscreen <\/span>(May Goal!). When I got back I stretched <\/span>and drank water <\/span>(more May Goals!).<\/p>\n

I took the long way around the Esplanade and I ran fast. I didn’t stop to walk at all. Around the 19 minute mark I was having a hard time catching my breath so I slowed to a jog for a minute to catch my breath. My bruised leg was hurting a bit. I crossed the Steel Bridge at 20 minutes and kept running.<\/p>\n

HOT! SWEATY! TIRED!<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/strong>When I got back to the office, I ate a Lean Cuisine frozen dinner. I think it was Linguine Carbonara. I also had 1\/4 of a donut! It tasted wonderful too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
