Break

I go out of town for a few days to help my mom move and it turns into a long vacation from blogging. I guess I needed to have more under my belt for such a break. But I am jumping back on the horse and determined to be better about recording my crazy thoughts.

Well my countdown to starting a diet has ended. And, unlike most other times, I have actually started my diet. I had 2 days of loading. Heaven!! Until I was at the end of the first day. I ate. And ate. And ate. I continued to eat even after I was not hungry. By the time I crawled in bed I was so physically uncomfortable that the only position I could be in with any sense of comfort was horizontal. And then I had to do it again the next day. I never thought I would dread gorging but I did. And now I know why this diet requires gorging before starvation...I actually looked forward to the idea of not eating.

And the good news is that the diet is working! I am down 7 pounds in the first 3 days of dieting. Success is sweet. Of course not all is easy. I have to wonder what cruel and sadistic bastard designed the grocery store I shop at. As I am there picking out asparagus, tomatoes, oranges, and apples I am painfully aware of the sweet bakery smells. Why Why Why would anybody would put the bakery right next to the produce section. I WANT FOOD!
