1. I take the Freshman Fifteen seriously.
2. I watch what I eat and avoid fatty foods to not gain weight.
3. I go to the gym regularly in hopes of keeping off those extra pounds.
4. The way I see the Freshman Fifteen has changed now that I am in college.
5. There is no way that I will gain fifteen pounds this year alone.
 
I surveyed a total of 16 fresh women on campus.

Question 6: You would encourage your daughter, if she belly danced, to perform publicly.

 

Questions 1,2,4,5,6

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Sat, 10/10/2009 - 9:41am.

...this week's New York Times Magazine: The Food Issue. It includes Michael Pollan's "Favorite Food Rules," which Peter mentioned earlier this week, but for me the real pay-off was a lovely, lovely story, "Against Meat," by Jonathan Safran Foer, about how having children can make you confront your paradoxes and your dishonesty--and change your habits: "Changing what we eat and letting tastes fade from memory create a kind of cultural loss, a forgetting. But perhaps this kind of forgetfulness is worth accepting — even worth cultivating (forgetting, too, can be cultivated). To remember my values, I need to lose certain tastes and find other handles for the memories that they once helped me carry."

  • Because our Caf food is pretty decent. I am not used to eating a "buffet" style meal for every meal, which definitely adds to the weight gain. I am also not used to eating dessert every day. I find myself having to control what I eat, rather than just eating what my mother cooked (which was always very healthy like salad fish and rice.)
