I have started craving food! Some cravings are greater than others and though I've not come close to giving in, here is a list from week 2, that I've been tempted to partake in (as a reminder, I have not done any of the following:
- Lick the box that Kyle's Pizza Hut came in, last Friday
- A side cup of ranch dressing that Beth's sampler platter came with, last Thursday
- A puree of Corned Beef and Cabbage on St. Patty's Day
- McDonald's French Fry Puree
- A mouthful of Honey (Still may do this one)
- Wiped Hummus w/ milk (so it is liquid)
Other than the random - "licking a cardboard box" like items, the above list is going to get redundant, so I'm adding a new "end of the week" list. Item's it's killed me not to eat, that I could have:
- The boy's leftover tacos that I made fresh tonight
- The boy's leftover burger and french fries from last Thursday
- "Bag fries" from yesterday
- That unopened tub of guacamole, staring at me, every time I open my refrigerator
- The corned beef and cabbage, from Pete's Tavern, on St. Patty's Day
- Meijer buttered pretzel braids
- A Little Cesar's Bread stick
The food got to me today. I was constantly hungry and had brief moments where I thought "nobody is around, maybe a sandwich wouldn't hurt." I also had worries that I won't make it to Day 40. Thankfully those moments quickly passed but they rattled me.
Not a lot of time with J.C. today - hopefully tomorrow will be better. I did work a little on my 2nd task. I expressed anger and frustrations towards employees, I did not overuse candor or sarcasm. One of my older brother's told me that he tries to utilize conversation as a tool rather than a sport. My problem is that I'm overly willing too and enjoy experience conversation more as a cage fight - a cage fight is more extreme than I typically communicate but it gets the point across.
Just to the keep the record clear: As of Day-14, I'm not eating solids, I'm working on keeping my opinions to my self / being sensitive towards other, I'm trying to pray more, I'm focusing more on Jesus and searching for answers to question I'm not what to ask. All this makes me wonder if Lent will leave me any free time by Day-40?
Random Notes: Started the day at 200, will finish around 2200 calories (I was really hungry all day). Also, I'm not going to start pureeing a bunch of things, but if you puree it and give it to me, I'll try it - well, maybe.
