I have blacked out 2 times in my life. Once at church because I hadn't eaten and once after I donated blood, again because I hadn't eaten. I hate it--it's so embarrassing waking up lying flat on the floor with everyone looking down at you with their concerned faces but secretly thinking you're irresponsible for not eating. I have to master a way to avoid ever blacking out again...
I am 121.5 pounds today. My weight loss is slowing down, which means my metabolism is finally catching on to my devious scheme. I think I might try eating more calories in the daytime as snacks (only two snacks allowed between 6am and 6pm during my fast) so that I won't eat as much after 6pm for dinner. I also ordered a bunch of macadamia nuts online, so once I receive those I might try the Kekwick diet for 3 days. I could also go back to the trustworthy 2468 plan, as I'm currently eating pretty much the same thing everyday (apple/some kind of fruit in the day and a cup of pasta at night). This way I could hopefully confuse my metabolism again and also get some more calories than I have been during the 6 and 8 days without gaining any weight. During Lent I'm not supposed to fast on Sundays, so maybe if I eat two small meals on Sundays and just maintain my weight from the previous day I'll also feel a bit healthier during the rest of the week.
Ugh. SO much thinking and planning. But I guess I like it. It's nice having such power over my body, over my "basic primal urges" so to speak. At least for now, since I'm actually losing weight...

Dizzy
Today I am 122.5 pounds
In class we did professor evaluations. I stood up to turn mine in and got really dizzy. At first I had a mini-freak out, worried that I would pass out right there in front of the class. Luckily, it passed just as quickly as it had appeared and I was able to relax/breathe. I sat back down and had some of my unsweetened iced green tea, which has recently become one of my best friends. Green tea helps to curb your appetite (not to mention that it is absolutely delicious--waaaayyy better than water but with the same 0 calories) and also fills you up just like plain water would. Anyway, I couldn't drink very much of it because I had already had a lot of it, plus plain water earlier, and I didn't want to leave class to go to the bathroom.
