Overshare? YEAH.

So I've dropped soda from my diet for May, and I have never been so hungry ALL the time. I'm waking up ravenous, eating all damn day, and I'm still losing weight. Three pounds might be a normal variation but I usually range from 165 to 170. Stepping on Emma's scale and showing 162 was a shock. I broke part of that diet today to have a cup of

Dropping thousands of calories from your diet will do that to you, yep. I hope your body adjusts sooner rather than later. Usually it takes about two weeks? Swapping to a sugar-free soda would have had the same effect, but dropping soda altogether is better for you. Caffeine's not going to affect your weight loss, though*, so unless dropping the caffeine was the goal, you can indulge in coffee all you like. :)

I hope you get the other job, and that combined they pay enough to help you clear your debt. Sooner, too, so that you don't have to juggle both. ♥

I'm back playing TOR but I have nobody to play with right now! A bunch of my friends also got distracted but aren't back yet. So you should come play with me, yes?

(* except maybe to increase the losing by a bit, according to studies)

I've never made any dramatic changes to my diet, but when I've had to eat 50-100% more calories than usual due to exercise it felt like I had to eat all the time if I forgot that I needed to take twice as many potatoes as usual, or whatever. When I had the portions right it was fine, so I think it's just expectations that need to adjust.

Well, I actually dropped soda to break my caffeine dependence (as I do every so often), so yeah, this is me cheating on it. :D The weight loss is entirely accidental.

I would love to play TOR, but I don't have access to keri's machine now that she's married; her canadian is there ALL the time! Once I have my video card, etc, I'll probably be able to get a copy of my own, though.

Aha! Well, enjoy your caffeine freedom, then!

Hmm! Which video card were you looking at?

Speaking as a young girlfriend: there are cheap/free things to do that are just as fun (even though he and I both make good money). Get over yourself. :)

But also, good luck with the job!

that's true, there are. We have bikes! there are hundreds of miles of bike path! But sometimes we just want to sit with netflix and get wings delivered. :D
