For some reason, I haven't been able to resist ANYTHING lately. I can't even use my "time of the month" since it's been over. Food just tastes SO DAMN GOOD. My commitment level to my diet has been atrocious. I've resorted to wearing my "fat clothes," which includes my loose skirts and shirts. And I'm constantly wearing my jacket so that I can hide my protruding tummy.

My sister approached me yesterday and she told me that she was going on a detox diet. I refused, just because I knew that I wouldn't be able to do it. Plus, it's my spring break, so I know that I would be tempted to go eat out with friends or something. I reluctantly agreed to do the diet with her because I figured that since I would have a partner to suffer with, it would make the whole experience a lot easier.

My sister's thin; 125 lbs, 5'8". But she's constantly complaining about invisible fat pockets on her body. Hearing her daily complaints makes me annoyed and angry all the time. And she has amazing discipline. I get jealous and frustrated because she seems to be able to do everything I can't. She has the wardrobe I've always wanted and she has the body to find clothes that I can't even dream about wearing.

Well, back to the dreaded detox diet.

I personally don't believe in these "detox" things, because I know that most of them are invitations to weight yo-yo's. But I really don't have anything to lose at this point, so here goes. For one whole week, you're prohibited from eating anything. No fruit, no vegetables, no anything. The one thing you ARE allowed to drink is a concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Apparently, the cayenne pepper suppresses your appetite. I don't know what the lemon and maple syrup is supposed to do, but there's the recipe is anyone wants it.

So I haven't eaten anything all day. It's 9:15.
I drank the lemon juice earlier and surprisingly, my hunger pangs disappeared. I was expecting myself to get hungry soon and held my doubts, but sure enough, the pangs went away and I was amazed. The first day of this detox diet was made a lot easier because I napped the entire day. I was up late editing film and I guess I was exhausted. Plus, my boyfriend is going back to Syracuse, New York for school and I'm not going to see him for an entire 2 months - the longest we're going to be apart from each other. The stress and anxiety from not being able to see him adds to my finding comfort in food. Food really is where I find comfort and solace, and it makes me feel so much better. The bad part is, in the long term, it makes me feel horrible about myself because I can't even look in the mirror anymore.

I don't know how the detox diet is going to end up. It's supposed to help you shed 10 pounds the first week, and then after that, it's all about maintenance. We'll see how it goes. Wish me luck.
