Day 2

I like to read what Lisa writes before I post anything. Although this is really the first time I've ever posted anything, so there's that too.

It hasn't even been a full 48 hours of this new health plan, but it feels as if it's been a lifetime. It's kind of the sensation you get when it's your second day back at school--it's as if summer never even happened. And ironically, when all this is finished, I am looking forward to eating some more delicious anniversary cake.

I think that my body is freaking out on me a little. It's like when an alcoholic goes through withdrawal. Every day for years (or at least 6 months) an alcoholic consumes alcohol...to the point where his body believes that it needs alcohol in order to survive. So during withdrawal his body starts freaking out, because it thinks it's missing a vital substance. I think that my body is acting in a very similar fashion, except it's corn instead of alcohol. After all, corn is in just about everything I was eating...

Anyway, so far I'm still alive and not experiencing DTs, so I'm thankful for that. I'm hoping that my body starts to tolerate this food change a bit better. You'd think that it would be a piece of cake for my body to go from junk foods to health foods, but it isn't. I don't think my body knows how to process stuff like almonds and water chestnuts and green stuff; previously it only got that kind of food every once in a blue moon.

Despite all my complaining though, I have to admit this is pretty fun.
