A blog will quickly turn you into a fool, but who cares?

I gotta make this quick cuz I gotta be in the valley in, like ... two minutes ago.

So I ate 1250 calories yesterday and I'm gonna say that's pretty good. What I would LIKE to say is that it was a breeze. And part of the truth is that it WAS a breeze for the bulk of the day. Then I worked out for an hour on the treadmill and it was dinner time and from then until I fell asleep around 3 am I was hungry. That's the weird catch 22. When I don't work out I can make that 1000 - 1200 calories work for me much easier. When I work out I get HUUUUNNNNGGRRYY.

I don't know what the answer is cuz I can't take appetite suppressants cuz of my blood pressure concerns. I guess I'm gonna have to do what Bob Greene says on Oprah. I'm gonna have to get comfortable with hunger. I don't really care for that Bob Greene. I don't really care for feeling hungry. But, do you know anybody like my fella? I'll ask him if he's hungry and he'll tell me he is. But he hasn't made any moves to go to the kitchen. He hasn't really made any efforts to get food to put in his belly. He just ... sits with the hunger. Not ALWAYS but many times. How do people do that? When I'm hungry ... I can't concentrate. I can't think of anything else. It consumes my brain. I work really hard to distract myself. I'll go online or play a simple video game on the computer while watching TV. I read a book or find a chore to complete. Doesn't work. All I can think about is being hungry. That's why I suggest people stay ahead of the hunger. (that's what I wrote on the website)

Oy. I wish I could give you a more completely successful story and tell you it was a breeze and angels surrounded me and lifted me up and carried me though the day sprinkling me with fairy dust and sunshine. But it was a bit of a struggle. WORTH IT. But not easy.

Okay. I'll work on changing my attitude and approach. Get off my back! (how'm I doin' so far?)
