[First time for everything. Blogger seems to have lost the original post, so this is a rewrite.]
Brief diet update:
As of Feb 27, 2006: 329 lb (21 lost since Jan 15).
I've found a way to minimize the impact of the "night hungries". Of course, the goal is still to either go to bed before they manifest, or just power through it with my amazing brain, but every good system has a safety valve, and I've found mine:
Popcorn. A mini-bag of low-fat Act II microwave popcorn has 100 calories and 20g carbs. Not as good as 0 calories and 0 carbs, but a hell of a lot better than 600-800 calories and over 100g carbs from Pop-Tarts and jalapeno-cheese crackers. Yes, I know, air-popped would be even lower, but air-popped popcorn tastes like ass, and it's not food, it's packing material. Popcorn has bulk that another MediFast shake or sugar-free Jell-O does not, and since the problem has more to do with my stomach being horribly, horribly empty (as opposed to feeling woozy due to lack of calories), the bulk is key.
So, wish me luck. I hope to be able to report 322 by next Monday.
Oh, Circuit City redux: had to go back in Sunday for more crimpable speaker posts. They actually had a register open. And it was staffed by Rose, who was incredibly cute (at least, when she wasn't looking totally bored). Big brown eyes, elfin features, long curly hair, killer smile. And I totally failed to even try to get her digits.
