Today is the second day of the second week of the diet and I hate the world and everything in it.\u00a0 Actually, I weighed myself at the gym on the weekend (I don’t own a scale at home) and I’ve actually lost 2 lbs.\u00a0 That’s pretty impressive when my starting point was so low to begin with.<\/p>\n
To clarify:\u00a0 I am 5’6″ 1\/2\u00a0and went in weighing 129 lbs.\u00a0 So now I’m 127 lbs.\u00a0 My measurements remain the same.<\/p>\n
But holy crapola I’m depressed.\u00a0 No doubt this is due to the sugar deprivation.\u00a0 Once a week one is supposed to have a cheat day and Ferriss goes into a bunch of stuff about how this is actually beneficial because of shocking\u00a0the metabolism and blah, blah, read his book if you care.\u00a0 By the end of last week, before the cheat day I had more or less adjusted to the lack of sugar and was feeling ok.\u00a0 To be fair I was also greatly looking forward to eating my face off on the cheat day.\u00a0 So I had that cheat day and it was grand.\u00a0\u00a0Eating a\u00a0box of Glossette raisins was like eating magic.\u00a0 Seriously, I was running around my condo all alone yelling at no one in particular about how the chocolate covered raisins were like unicorns and\u00a0pixie dust\u00a0wrapped in a basket of kittens tied with ribbons of double rainbows.<\/p>\n
But then the next day I wanted to die.\u00a0 I had to start the sugar detox all over again so in reality it isn’t even a detox because just when I was beginning to adjust I screwed it all up with bananas and chocolate milk.\u00a0 So going back to a world without sugar is like… well, it’s like facing any addiction I suppose.\u00a0 Thank god I never got into crack.\u00a0 Seriously, if abstaining from sugar is this hard I can only imagine the hell of drug addiction.<\/p>\n
I may have a little more sympathy now for people with serious addictions.\u00a0 I still think they’re idiots for smoking or drinking or snorting\u00a0or injecting in the first place but still.\u00a0 Last night both the bf and I were obsessing over all the good stuff we couldn’t have.\u00a0 He desperately wanted Reeses Pieces and I wanted to bathe in black licorice.\u00a0 We munched on seasoned chick peas (yeah, really, ugh) instead and finished off the night with some cinnamon tea.\u00a0 Awesome.\u00a0 I was incredibly despondant.\u00a0 And getting out of bed this morning was a test of wills.\u00a0 I mean I’m never happy scrappy in the morning but usually I drag myself up with a sigh.\u00a0 Today I had to exercise great self-control not to unleash my anger on the world.\u00a0 I was pissed.\u00a0 It was irrational and I realized that so I didn’t in fact yell at anyone or break anything but boy I felt resentful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fuck Tim Ferriss and his stupid fucking diet!\u00a0 Fucking asshole!\u00a0 But now that I’ve blogged about it I can’t exactly quit, can I?\u00a0 ‘Cause then I’d be a quitter and quitters are people who actually enjoy their lives and no one wants to be a life enjoyer, now do they?\u00a0 Fucking hell.<\/p>\n
