Eating Is Not Going Well

I haven’t weighed myself since before I went to MEPS last week, and I hadn’t been really worried about it. I was eating regularly and good portions, gaining weight at a nice clip, and hadn’t been doing much cardio just for the extra cushion at MEPS.

But…now I’m kinda worrying.

My diet has been TERRIBLE since MEPS. The first day there I had a snickers bar, and that’s it, the 6 hours I was there. No water (except a few sips from the fountain) and no “real” food. The second day, aside from breakfast at 5 AM, I had a snickers bar and 2 cookies. When I got home I ate a heap at Hooters, but eating like that doesn’t really balance well.

MEPS Tomorrow

Tomorrow I head up to Baltimore for 2 days for MEPS processing.

I weighed myself today and I’m up to 128 lbs (yay me!) and John and his family dutifully fed me dinner with instructions to eat more before I go to bed, plus he’s taking me out to breakfast in the morning before he drops me off at the recruiter’s…hey, every little bit helps. I just really don’t want to have to go back through MEPS again because I’m underweight the first time.

So, I have all my paperwork together: SSN, Birth Cert, HS diploma, Driver’s license, etc. AND I got my FCP signed and notarized, so I can turn that in tomorrow. I also have to give them a copy of both (shut up) divorce decrees and all that jazz. Hopefully I’m all squared away with the paperwork, even though I’m sure there will be mountains more.
