i'm not used to eating. rather: i'm not used to eating when i'm not hungry and during the day i'm rarely hungry, so i usually don't eat. however, by the time i get home from a hard day at the office, i'm usually ravenous and procede to nosh till bedtime. stephen has opined that my "daytime fasting" has put my body into "starvation mode" forcing it to stockpile whatever nutrients i do digest, as fat. this is how i've been living for a very long time, so to attempt to change my behavior is gonna take alot of time and effort.
as usual, i didn't eat today. i had two cups of coffee, a Chips Ahoy 100 Calorie Snack Pack and a Weight Watchers granola bar-thing, all totalling 6 points. oh yeah..there was also water. lots and lots of water. an entire liter in fact. i peed 3 times (we all know how much i love hitting the men's room at work). now, day one is nearly complete, and i've still got eleven points to eat before bedtime. i've already eaten dinner (Enchiladas: 10 points) and a bowl of popcorn with butter (6 points).
stephen's in the kitchen as we speak scooping me 1/2 a cup of Haggen Dazs Mayan Chocolate ice-cream (8 points). i dont' think i'll be able to eat the final 3.
do people really lose weight this way?

It is a lot of work. So much. When I was preparing to go to Hawaii I ate nothing but, like, 1600 calories a day--which, is insane.
BUT.
It is so worth it when people see you in your tux or in your swimming suit and say something like "Yum."
GOOD LUCK!
