Day 3

I can't believe I have made it 3 days without solid food. Strangely enough also it's not that bad when I go into grocery stores. The harder part for me is going to restaurants. When I go to a grocery store I don't 'see' food I 'see' packages, but that's as far as I conceptualize the package. In a restaurant you see plates of food so there is no getting around it. I know in grocery stores there is the meat dept, produce, cheese, section, etc. but I am becoming quite good at going in a just leaving without paying attention to anything else. Hopefully I'm not ignoring any friends in there that may have noticed me.

Thus far I think yesterday was for some reason the hardest. The evening was particularly hard as I had a rather bad headache. However, as with Fri night's headache when I woke up Mon morning it was gone and I felt reasonably rested. One interesting side result of this is that I feel like there is in a sense extra time in my day now that I'm not really cooking. In order to "eat" I have to squeeze 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, pour 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and mix with water. Consequently I'm left wondering where all this free time came from.

If I can make it through Monday then Tuesday night will be the halfway point of this journey. As a reward I plan to buy for myself this book.

Well that's all here's to a good week!
