possibly not meeting a goal

[oiran]

I hate admitting defeat, even if I'm insisting on calling it only "possible" defeat. [/cryptic]

On the "healthy eating" front, I haven't had any sugar in about 72 hours and I feel very, very strange.  Dopesick, maybe.  It's not entirely unpleasant.  At least not until I remind myself of the defeat (see above).

I need reassurance of a global, generalized, hug-free nature if you have any to spare.

I don't think I ever realized before how much my food intake was centered around sugar. Fruit, sure, but also lots of candy. Lots of carbs/starch. Bread. Cold cereal. Pasta. And since this diet has excluded all of those things, it has also inadvertently excluded wheat. Based on a number of things I've read recently, I'm wondering if wheat might be a problem for me, as well. Despite being exhausted, there was clearly something wrong with my prior diet if I can lose ~15 lb while sleeping.

I have major serotonin problems on my own, and I think that this has certainly messed them up more, although I'm not any more depressed than usual. If I'm going to have serotonin issues, I'd much rather be sleepy than suicidal.

And I am indeed drinking lots of water. We're allowed lemon in this phase of the program, so I'm drinking lots of lemony water. And, of course, crunching ice and making Mr. Glove go slowly insane with the sound of it.
