A Challenge

I have been doing very well today. I have already drank nearly 2 quarts of water, and have had only 1 or 2 cups of coffee. I ate an apple an noon and have eaten nothing else. I have not been hungry at all. But I am still having cravings . . . perhaps not quite as bad as yesterday, but they are still there. Around lunchtime, I could TASTE a Subway sandwich. It was incredible how real the taste sensation was.

Because I'm not getting hungry, I'm starting to wonder if I have to eat anything at all . . . what if I ate nothing for a day? I may try that and see what happens – or at least see what it would take to make me hungry. It almost seems like I've been given some kind of Superhero resistance against hunger. It's starting to feel almost weird how little I have to eat.

Here is the upcoming challenge – we are going out to a movie tonight. Although I always try to resist the concessions, we very rarely do not have popcorn, and it is usually me who gives in to the smells. And we always have soda to drink. Tonight will be a challenge. I wonder if the butter wafting through the air in the theater violates the rule against applying oily creams or lotions to your skin. Perhaps I really CAN gain weight by just SMELLING theater popcorn. I'll soon find out!
