Vegging

I want a Twinkie so badly right now I'd probably try to eat the desk if it had a picture of one pasted to it. I will not put up a photo of one on this blog, for fear I would try to eat the computer.

I just realized how incredibly spoiled I am (we are) -I've been eating only raw fruits and vegetables for two days now (evidently this is good for the colon) and while generally it hasn't been too bad, there are moments (like right now and the past half hour) where I have been craving ANYTHING and EVERYTHING else. I had to put a book down because the characters were in a restaurant and started talking about food. I'd probably go ballistic in a theater if I were watching Julie and Julia. I am SO BORED with fruits and vegetables!!!! (This is the spoiled part.) How is that possible? I've eaten at least nine different kinds of fruit today, and seven different veggies. I enjoyed them all. It's only for three days, and I am not only aware of this but consciously decided (eight veggies! I thought of another one!) to try this out. And yet I would quite possibly gouge someone else's eye out for their fatty/sugary baked goods. (Note to self: MUST go to bakery on Saturday).

What's next? A bean and rice diet, just to teach me some perspective and gratitude? (Er, maybe not - that would require even more Gas-X than I'm currently using.)

On the plus side, I've dropped at least two pounds in the first two days, and I've been stuffing myself. Time for a cup of herbal (peppermint is a natural appetite suppressant, did you know?) tea and off to bed... most likely to dream of Twinkies.
