Today... I have a lightbulb above my head (kinda like a cartoon thingy).
Today, I have figured out that my chatting, non-stop, about diet, food, calories, abs, legs workouts blah blah blah is tiresome for most people.
Today, I have figured out that I shouldn't obsess about these things outloud, in my head to myself is A-OK, but outloud, I need to keep my mouth zipped.
Example, as my boss walked in the other day, with a giant cup of coffee, I exclaimed, loudly, "OMG do you know how much caffeine is in a 16oz cup of regular coffee? 300mg! That's insane!!", and thank god she's worked with me long enough to not take offense to this, but then ... i got to thinking, for some people, that would have been down-right rude.
And it's funny, I don't say or think these things to be judgemental or negative in any way ever (remember, I'm the chick who tried to make cheez-its count as a dairy product and malibu rum as a fruit so I literally have no room to talk). Most of the time I say these things randomly because I just read it online, or I have it stuck in my head from an article in a magazine. Just blurt it out... hmmm...
And, I'll admit, the calorie counting OCD behaviour can come across as just freakin' irritating.
So... starting today... yep... today... the OCD behaviour will stay quietly within my own head, between my own two ears... and in this silly blog... so you can READ it at your leisure, not listen to me babble ! HA !
ssshhhhh.... i'm counting in my head ...

Ummmmm .. hate to break this to you at this stage of our lives, but ....
You are a Cisco by birth. The little switch between brain and mouth that most people come with? Our factory install was faulty and they never issued a recall and replacement.
You're just now figuring this out? I learned it years ago and still have to manually override.
