Lol, practicing law is a more sure way to a heart attack than being a chef! For me, vaping has worked to quit smoking and banting to lose weight. Now, to work on mental stability@Mike You have hit the nail on the head! Both high stress, arguably moderated by a flair for the dramatic! (what would life be without a little drama?)
I can relate to your experience, as I too have never really been slim, trim and the Men's Health poster boy. Truth be told, I'm the only one in my family who has weight issues. It's not really a sensitive thing for me, as I've been this way my whole life, and am apart from being overweight generally healthy. Sorry if I came across aggressive. Byproduct of the job I'm afraid.
I suppose I just want to start making some healthier lifestyle choices. The job just isn't conducive to it, and it's been really hard to have any sort of balance in my life, especially and ironically considering my industry. I'm hoping to get the business settled to the point where I can get into the gym and start getting some exercise but until then it's balls to the wall.
I'm the Ops director for a small corporate catering company. Worked as a chef for many years in various leisure and corporate environments. It's thankless, poor paying and backbreaking work and requires a level of commitment, passion and discipline that i think gets underplayed by the glamour of celeb chefs. But for all of that, I still love what I do, and don't regret a thing!
But maybe one day I'll use that law degree that's gathering dust in my study. Who knows...
