diet
The diet is going all right. I am telling myself that it is, even though there is no perceptible difference in how well my jeans fit. However I do have more energy, or I am telling myself that I do; maybe it is my imagination. I have slept a lot recently so maybe that's not true. But at at a certain point I felt like I had more energy and --yes, that my body had shifted into a different mode. That it was burning more, that it was active. I think that was the feeling of energy. And when you eat healthier foods like fruits and vegetables, apples, green peppers, celery, carrots, etc-- you are indeed less hungry, than if you had eaten the caloric equivalent in cookies. So it is going well simply because I have been successfully eating healthier foods, and proportionately fewer junky "foods," and the benefits will kick in sooner or later.
Meanwhile I come perilously close to saying, to hell with this, and eating potato chips by the handful. That's all it would take to undo everything I've accomplished thus far.
I probably won't though, because I understand that this is purgatory.
