I am hungry. Very hungry. Today was so much better than yesterday. Yesterday was really tough, and I asked myself repeatedly why the hell I'm doing something so stupid. But I made it through. So I am now going into my third day of no eating. 48 hours of no food.
I'm going through the I need fatty greasy food stage. Soon, I suspect, I will be going through the I want beef right now stage. That's when my body tells me I need protein to survive.
It's amazing how the feeling goes in waves. Sometimes I'll feel great, like this whole experience is so cool. Then other times I'm so weak and tired that I just want one bite. I went to lunch today with Kaz and some friends, and I didn't eat anything. Owen had a really good looking grilled cheese on fresh bread. Wow, it looked so good. I kept asking myself if one bite would hurt the fast. But I resisted. Later on, after I came home, I actually took a 20 minutes nap. I just fell right asleep. A little bit ago I was feeling good, now I am feeling bad. That's how it goes I guess.
Last note. It's amazing to me how much I think about food. About what I would eat, when I will eat it. I think it is mostly what I'm thinking about when I'm not concentrating on a task. I have to keep myself engaged, or I think too much about the hunger.
