One cup of coffee. And a mango for breakfast, yum!

It’s now 1 PM, and yes, I’m getting hungry.

Hm. 2 scoops whey powder, 2 cups water, 1 can diet vanilla coke, 1 cup granola cereal, 1 cup skim milk. Probably going to have two natural peanut butter/whole grain bread/sugar free jelly sandwiches, 2 more scoops of whey powder and assorted non-calorie beverages before I call it a day.

I’m cutting right now. Trying to get a six-pack before I die. Not too far left to go (before I die or before I get the aforementioned 6p, take your pick 🙂 ), but it’s still a pain.

Well, I swallowed a fly, then a spider to catch the fly, then a bird to catch the spider, then a cat to catch the bird, then a dog to catch the cat, then a goat to catch the dog, then a cow to catch the goat, then a horse to catch the cow…

All of that at a buffet restaurant, huh.

You and me both. I’ve had a birth control pill, an antidepressant, and an extra-large Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, about seven hours ago.

And now that I’m thinking about it, I’m _starving_.

I was craving something not diet-y. So instead of suppressing my craving, I gave into it, just once. And so far, it’s the only thing I’ve eaten today:

Vanilla ice cream, with chocolate syrup, butterscotch syrup, covered in caramel magic shell.

I feel kind of sick. ☹ I think the next thing I swallow will be some Pepto Bismal. Bleh.
