The GM Diet: Day 2

Day2

Stephanie, Josh, Renee, Andrea

As a group, we lost 3lbs yesterday, despite the fact that there are cheaters among us. 

A few participants seem to have indulged in things like rolls, chicken, chocolate, pizza, and asparagus (veggie on fruit day, tsk tsk) on Day 1. 

 

I heard such excuses as “My hand was shaky when I was carrying a tray at my second job,” and “I didn’t want someone else’s delicious smelling leftovers to go to waste.” I myself was concerned that I shouldn’t be driving, as black dots danced in front of my eyes, but did I give in? No. 

I remained fruit-pure over night. I woke up excited to eat my potato for breakfast. I have never been so happy to see a potato in my life. I savored every bite. It was all I could think about as I lay in bed the night before, while my stomach attempted to consume itself. 

Day 2 is veggie day. Unlimited veggies (except potatoes, just the one for breakfast). This day had so much promise, since vegetables are more delicious than fruit. 

Josh and Stephanie forgot their potatoes this morning, so they started out at a disadvantage (although I think their cheat foods from the night before should have canceled out that treat anyway!). 

Then I ran out of food. And I knew my dinner at home was going to be a huge bowl of broccoli. And tomorrow I’d have to eat fruit again. I started to give up on life. I had nothing to look forward to. I lost my will to live. 

So at approximately 3pm I broke into this:

And at approximately 3:05pm Steph and Josh joined me. 

At the close of business, we feel much better and tomorrow is a day of rest, while we search for a new crazy diet to try.
