My "full fast" kicked off this morning. I started off the day with a chocolate shake, my multi-vitamin and chromium supplement. This was around 9:45 and I was on the road headed back to Raleigh from Greensboro by about 10:15. I went to a wedding there last night and my last meal was salmon, mashed potatoes and spinach salad. If I close my eyes, I can almost taste that salmon...
At 10:30, I was already starving and passing road signs with advertisements for McDonalds and Bojangles and all these other greasy fast food places where I knew biscuits, hashbrowns and eggs awaited me. I decided that now would be a great time to take my first appetite suppressant. That went down okay... It's 3:45 and I am still waiting for it to kick in! And I get to take another one at 4. I think that they are really just placebos; I think they are just trying to make me *think* they are appetite suppressants so that I will talk myself into not being hungry. Guess what doc- my stomach knows more than my brain. I had my second shake at 12:45 and it was vanilla. Not impressed with the vanilla. So far the chocolate is the best which is strange because I'm not usually a chocolate fan. I've also had a diet coke and 1/2 of my total water intake for the day. I get to have 3 more shakes before bed and I really hope they start to take the edge off the hunger.
Oh and I chewed on of the allowed 4 pieces of sugar free gum for the day... which left me with this thought... why didn't anyone ever put into production the Willy Wonka gum that had a full six course meal worth of flavors??? I could use that right about now... even if I do end up like Violet and needing to be rolled out and punctured!
More tomorrow... I am going to go drink my next shake and take an appetite suppressant (aka mind control placebo that does not effing work!)
