Water

I just spotted a skinny white girl in line and she was chomping on a luna bar and buying a bottle of water.

Water!

I am a Scorpio so I get the whole water thing. I like drinking water, thank god! So, I too will gulp down the stuff as if I were living in the Sahara Desert. I also love to bathe and wade in water.
I am lucky too! Water has now become somewhat of a status symbol here in Boston.

Carrying around a bottle of water symbolizes self care, intelligence and superiority. I don't care if you don't agree with me. It is true!

I got out to eat often for my work. Ordering a glass of water instead of a soda or a glass of wine sends a statement to the rest of the table. It tells the rest of the table that you care, you care about your body and what goes into it. Or you need to hydrate yourself for the 8 mile run your going to take after work.

Ordering water at lunch usually precedes the mixed greens with protein order that is sure to follow. Dressing on the side!!!

Typically, I order the special of the day and an never ending glass of diet coke. I usually stop with the 4th refill. I am also seduced by words like aoli, pesto and remoulade. Not to mention a "side of fries." Sigh....

What have I learned? In order to eat like a skinny white girl, I need to act against my natural urges. Be counterfactual! Be repulsed at the slightest mention of mayonnaise or its impostors.

Order water next time!
