Conversation
Dan and I have figured out through trial and error that the best way for him to help me is to be super super mean and awful about the food thing and then I laugh and I feel better. So my new recurring utterance is to ask pitifully for something to eat and he hollers NO at me. And then I crawl away. And somehow, it helps me stay the course. Not cut and run. You get the idea. It also frees me up to rant and rave about how hungry I am without feeling like I am demanding him to be sympathetic and supportive all the time, when all he has to do in response is holler at me to be quiet, I am disturbing his ingestion of pizza and ice cream.
SO.
Me: WHY can't I eat - I just want something to EAT!!! How is it possible that I've survived seven days without putting anything into my mouth besides liquid?
*then I feigned death*
Dan (all chipper): Oh, I guess it's not possible. Hm!
*then I started beating him*
Dan: Apparently you haven't weakened yourself to the point that you can't pummel me. Back on the diet with you!!! *VOLCANIC BURP* Mmmmm, bagel.

I think Dan's right. This diet is all about you being bored. It has provided you an opportunity for abundant domestic drama. Dur to the prevalence of bowel business in the family conversation, Benny busts you at church and at his violin lesson, telling tales of his mother's colonic cleanse process. I'm surprised that this morning Sadie didn't confide in me that her mother is cleaning out her intestines. Probably Leroy is writing letters to the editor.
Writing a blog is sometimes a very tough thing to keep fresh. I like the way you have been posting and hope you can keep it going.

I hate diets--they're die with a T. It's cool that being able to laugh about it helps. My sense of humor always took a big hike when I was dieting.
