Let me introduce myself

I've just turned 25. I'm a blond girl, weigh 50-53 kg and I'm 165 cm tall. I'm Czech. I eat slowly and I'm hungry most of the time. Especially in summer. I lose weight when I'm on my period because of a frequent bowel movement. Yes, I googled  a week ago: why I poop a lot when on period (sorry for that but we all poop - except Kim Jong-Il - and about half of the world population menstruate, so actually... I'm not sorry) and this came up: 'The answer is prostaglandins. These are the chemical signals girls' and women's bodies make and send to the uterus to tell it to contract, thus expelling the uterine lining at the end of the menstrual cycle.' and etc. 

There you have it. I have a high level of prostaglandins that make me do number two up to 7 times a day during the first 2- day of my menstruation. Yeei? No. I hate it. I'm hungrier, so I eat a lot and it all goes to waste. I HATE it. It's too much work to eat. I like eating but not always. I usually leave it until I can't wait anymore. So, why don't I eat immediately when I get hungry? Because I get distracted. I'm hungry - but look! I need to hand the clothes. I need to check email. Need to answer a message. Need to prepare for my lesson. Need to check facebook. Need to watch this video. Water the plants. Take a picture of the plants. Listen to a song. Aahh! I actually wanted to eat!

Well, that's my everyday battle. I can't prioritize. Sometimes I feel all cool and say: Yeah, prioritizing is the key to having an organized life. I'm gonna be alll organized and stuff. I'm gonna make lists and number the activities and do the most important first. Haha, it doesn't work. For example now. I'm really hungry. I just reheated pork ribs and zucchini. It's sitting next to me on a plate, all served and ready to be eaten. And I? What am I doing? I'm taping here like crazy. I can't stop. I fear like I'll forget everything I want to write if I stop.

Okay, seriously. I'm gonna make a pause here, about a few minutes just to eat a bit.

I love life, especially in summer. Sun and warmth gives me a special kind of energy that basically makes me love everything and everyone. Winter is worse though. Well, it's not winter now so I don't want to bother you with this stuff.

I wanted to tell you something more about my relationship with food. I like eating (sometimes) and I eat most of food, except:

• smelly cheeses (and goat cheese!)
• smelly weird looking sea food
• chewy beef - I chew a lot so it would take me forever to actually swallow it
• meat with a strong beefy smell - my father is a vegetarian and we didn't used to cook much meat in my family
• sour yogurt
• any kind of jam - I prefer fresh fruit
• I LOVE fruit and vegetables

So, this is me:

• I love eating fruit and vegetables
• I love drinking beer
• I love listening music. It inspires me
• I love summer and sun
• I like gardening
• I like taking pictures
• I like doing exercise but I'm not so good at ball games and aerobics (bad body coordination)
• In summer I feel interesting, beautiful, positive, extroverted and I super cool, and in winter I feel boring, plain, negative and introverted
• I love teaching - especially in summer, I give English and Spanish lessons
• I love languages
• I love talking to people - especially in summer
• I love making lists
• I love making money and keeping track of how much money I've made
• I like spending money (in summer) and I don't like to know how much I've spent 

As you can see, my main problem is I that I have two personalities, two poles: winter and summer personality. Maybe I suffer from SAD but I don't want to label myself.

My name is Zuzka, I'm a language teacher and I'm hungry most of the time.

(I'm also a student of interpreting and translating, but I don't want to talk about it at the moment).

Nice to meet you! :-)

And who are you? Post a comment!
