today i started week 3, and this is what i'm sitting here thinking about:
and this:
and this:
i fast twice a week, once on sunday, once on wednesday. on those days, i keep to 500 calories. that's oatmeal for brunch, and a hearty soup for dinner. i could have a weight watcher's meal or something, but i'm always really disappointed with those. they keep being finished too quickly. somehow.
but not that it's the third week, thankfully, food only occupies my mind as i'm trying to get to sleep. not, like the first day, wherein i thought about food THE ENTIRE DAY.
i'm also starting to look forward to the fasting days.
on friday, i went to my friend's house for the night. we ate pizza. i might have had a fourth piece... while also drinking. but i can do that now, and it's okay! i still drop a pound-or-so a week, and i feel great!
by the time fast day arrives, i'm ready to lay off the food for awhile.
i have traded seven days of torture for two!
however, even though it is getting easier each time i fast, i noticed tonight that EVERYONE on tv was eating. seriously. i watched CSI, they went to a cafe. and ate.
i watched a movie with lovely daughter. there was a lot of eating. really? you're catching bad guys and you need a food scene? ugh.
simpsons...crime dramas...EVEN THE SPORTY THING had food in it - some guy in the crowd eating a burger. HEY CAMERA GUY - WATCH THE GAME!
and then there were the commercials. most of THOSE were for food.
but actually, it didn't bother me that much. i just...noticed it.
and although right now i'm thinking of all the food i CAN eat tomorrow morning...
actually...
i'll probably just eat this:

I wouldn't let people get away with saying you are "fast", even if it's true. A face full of instant oatmeal nearly always makes other people stop and consider their word choices more thoroughly. Also, while they are stumbling around, wiping goo out of their piggy little eyes, they are easy to push down a flight of stairs. These helpful hints have worked for hundreds of women, most of whom are in prison, but hey. I'm here to help!
