Creeping up on week 2

Feb 17, 2014

Almost 2 weeks post, and I feel... fine? Most of the time I feel fine. I'm sleeping fine, I can get up and walk fine, I've lost quite a bit of weight initially (~20lbs) and I'm tolerating most foods pretty well. 

Two issues remain: pooping and eating too much. 

The first can be remedied. No problem. The second is more of a head-game. I'm not hungry. Not even a little. As long as I'm water-loaded and up to snuff on my protein, I'm not hungry at all. But my mouth is bored. I feel like I used to when I was a smoker. Fidgety. I haven't tried any more gum (see last week) for obvious reasons, but I'm about half-mad with the need to put things in my mouth. It's absurd. Almost as absurd as being full after two spoons of ground beef. Popsicle are great at home, but not at work.  So that's this-week challenge: Find something to put in my mouth that isn't a cigarette or a piece of candy. I'm thinking it might be time to drag out the tea-tree toothpicks again. They are very effective, if a little noxious. 

Also, "Premiere Protein" vanilla is gross. The end.
