Day 519 — 23 days have passed since I last talked about this… and instead of slowing down like a reasonable human being, I accelerated. I didn’t even know that was possible?!! I’ve entered a new phase. A darker phase. A greasier phase. At this point, I don’t even order it anymore. It just… shows up.
I’ll hear a knock at the door. I didn’t order anything. I didn’t even open an app. But there it is. A warm box. Waiting. Like the universe itself is enabling me.
I asked the delivery guy once, “Who paid for this?” He just looked at me and said, “You know who.”
I don’t. I really don’t.
Today has changed me. I’ve stopped pretending this is a streak. This is now a lifestyle with consequences. My body makes noises it shouldn’t make. Not pain—just… crunch-adjacent sounds when I move too fast. I stretched this morning and my knee popped like crispy skin and I had to sit down and reflect. Also, I think people can smell it on me permanently now.
Not in a bad way… but in a concerningly consistent way.
A girl hugged me yesterday and paused mid-embrace. “…why do you smell like that?” —I said nothing. Because how do you explain 519 days of fried chicken without sounding like you’ve lost custody of reality?
The worst part is, I tried to take a break.I really did.
Yesterday I said, “Alright, let’s eat something clean today.” I bought a salad. A full, responsible, adult salad. Sat down. Took one bite.
And I swear to you… my body f**king rejected it like a bad organ transplant. I just stared at it like, “What is this? Where is the crunch? Where is the purpose?”. Five minutes later I was eating fried chicken again like I had just relapsed after a 30-second recovery journey.
At this point, I’m starting to think Day 500 did something to me. Like I crossed a line I wasn’t supposed to cross. A threshold. A gateway.
So now? Shiiii Uhhh now I don’t crave fried chicken…
fried chicken craves me. Keep a lookout for 4/17 🍗
