Today has to have been the most difficult day so far. I forgot to replace my lemons until after i was already wanting more lemon juice so I went to three different super-markets looking for lemon; one had green ones, the other they were too small, last one- just right. Since I was hungry, it was particularly awful seeing all the food everywhere. I considered quitting the lemon diet SO MANY times today but somehow I made it through.

Its weird because I woke up so energetic, billed some clients, did some design work. I was bouncing all over the place and then I was just hungry and I guess the bad energy followed in the footsteps of my mood because nothing seemed to go right today.

I saw M- later on and talked to him about it. It made me feel so much better. He suggested we eat out first “real” meal together- so far, we’re planning on a Cuban restaurant. That means I have to do the lemons for atleast one more day (if not more, if he decides to continue.) I don’t mind though. It would be worth it to share a meal and be able to experience it together. :)

Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

Wow, my tongue is so dirty looking. It feels weird, too. You can even see the center part where my piercing used to be. I hope it doesn’t get any worse. I will have to stop documenting it in photographs, if that is the case.

My back hurt again and my leg felt funny. M- said it is the detox. My face and his are both breaking out. Also, probably the detox. I am so excited about it almost being over.

Temptation- Part Deux

Yesterday was another day filled with the smell of kielbasa and other delicious things. It was sooooo hard not to want to eat. M- and I were at his brother’s house up near Croton on Hudson with his family. They kept on offering food and beer. We told them about the lemon diet and tried to explain. Sometimes I think it is better just to do your own thing and let other people do theirs. I ended up having 7 lemon drinks instead if 6 that I usually have. We were invited back again in two weeks when we can actually eat kielbasa and bbq’d bacon. Hm… I wonder how it will taste after all of this.
