Day 113 - The stock market and dieting are two peas in a pod

For those of you that don't know, I have started to learn about the stock market. I must say that it is a very scary subject, and I feel totally ill-prepared to navigate it alone. Not long after reaching that conclusion, I realized that dieting is like the stock market. There are highs and lows everyday in both. Granted there isn't a colored candle to rank dieting performance...thank goodness, but I do keep a tally in my head. There is definite volatility involved. In the stock market it is often viewed as investor nervousness, but in my case, it is the nervousness of the weekly weigh in. I never know which way the scale will go. Most importantly, there is volume! Yep, I said it...volume. How many calories can I eat, can I cheat by having a handful of M&Ms, will two pieces of pizza kill me? All of these questions deal with volume on a daily basis.

So, how did my personal stock do last night? Well...there were more highs than lows, there was some volatility as I knew that birthday cake would be making an appearance, I had more volume than I would like in the evening, but it wasn't too high. So overall, the stock did well. Oh yeah, I even saw one candle (Happy Birthday Colton)! It is true!!! The stock market and my diet do mirror each other. So, if anyone would like to invest in highly preforming stock, please send payments to......
