The days are never as long and bleak as they are when you're on a serious diet. It's like those Weight Watchers commercials, with the little orange "Hungry" monster--Hungry is always following you, always tempting you. It gets to the point of torture at times. You can deal with being tired; just drink some caffeine, and solider on until you can finally get some rest. You can deal with fatigue or boredom easily enough. Hungry is different. It eats at you (pardon the pun), bothers you in every way that it can. It makes time stretch out for hundreds of miles, and all of that time is empty. That's the worst part: times stretches out further than you can imagine. Mostly I figure that it's better if I'm not awake for most of it, so I take sleeping pills at 9:00--around now--and am sound asleep by 9:30.
Today, I ate: 1 bowl cereal, measured (150 cals), 1 South Beach fiber bar (120), 1 cup skim milk (40), 1 Lean Cuisine dinner (240), for a Total of 550. Plus 40 mins of power-walking on the treadmill.
