f/m-ood (status: shitty)

So, I’m trying out this 'detox' diet where you eat various stuff on various days to ‘purify’ your system. It lasts 7 days; not long enough to do any harm, right? I thought it would be fun to try, having just gotten back from eating way too much on vacation. Everyone always eats way too much on vacation, and I'm no exception. So, trying out this diet seemed like a good idea at the time. 'The time' being yesterday evening. Not that long ago, really. Fascinating how one's view of things can change so radically overnight.

They tell you you can eat as much as you want of the stuff, but only that stuff on that day. Today is vegetable soup and fruit. I’m hungry, and I want bread and chocolate and bananas, but I can't have bananas. Not today. Today is vegetable soup, and any fruit _but_ bananas. [It really says that! "...and any fruit (except bananas)."] I had vegetable soup for dinner last night, and vegetable soup for lunch today, and goddamnit, the last thing I want for dinner is the fucking vegetable soup. Tomorrow is vegetable soup and vegetables. Thrilling. Then there’s a beef and skim milk day, and a bananas and something day... THEN they let you eat the bananas. Of course, by that day I'll be craving the vegetable soup.

This is day one. We’ll see how far I get.
