Detox, Day 2

Update: I did wind up gulping down my 6th and final "lemonade" last night.

12:30pm
I'm a bit sluggish today, but not too bad. Still not feeling terribly hungry. Of course, right now that may be because I can feel the salt water rumbling around in my gut.

1:30pm
Interesting new craving: chicken fingers and french fries. Mmmm, processed deep-fried death, with ranch sauce.


2:10pm
Oooo, or fish and chips... with salt and vinegar...

Apparently fried is what I'm craving today. Grease, yum.

Hmm, that picture was supposed to make me realize how gross greasy, deep fried foods are... but its not working all that well.

3:00pm
I went out to buy more lemons, and got more maple syrup while I was at it. Temptations were everywhere. It turns out stores that sell lemons also sell other yummy foods, lol. And also, are located very near fast food places... that sell lovely greasy fries... which I wouldn't even have to get out of my car to buy.  But I resisted!
I did notice though, at the store, that I'm a little bit trembly. Its not even enough that I notice it when I'm just sitting around at home, but my hands shook a bit while I was typing in stuff for my credit card.

3:40pm
Yeah, I thought something was weird. So each serving of lemonade is supposed to be 8 ounces, right? And I have this bottle I've been using to make it, so that I can put the lid on and shake it to mix it. On the bottle's label it says "8 ounces" and I kept thinking "wow, my concept of an ounce is really off." So just now I read under that where it says "servings per bottle: 2.5!" So yesterday I actually had about 12 servings, which is great! You are supposed to try to get 6 to 12.  Oh wait. But that also means I need to be adding more lemon and maple than I have been. I suppose it balances out, since I still had the minimum of the lemon and all. Ah well, life is a learning process.

5:00pm
Encouraging new craving: celery with sunflower seed butter and raisins. At least I'm craving healthy stuff now!

6:00pm
I have a bit of a headache, so I put extra maple in the drink I'm on now. Hopefully that'll knock it out. I'm determined to last at least 3 days!

7:00pm
It is unlikely, but still possible, that I would strangle a kitten for some french fries. It's not so much that I'm hungry... I mean, my belly does feel empty but its not hurting or anything. I just feel like I need to *eat* something. And I'm definitely still craving high-calorie foods. The celery thing was a fluke.
I think I just swallowed a lemon seed.

9:30pm
Being tired helps stop cravings. Good night.

I love your wordings on things. Deep-fried death. And that picture that was supposed to make you realise how gross that kind of food is, worked for ME! Does that count?
