Today I went in for my Nov 5th check-up. I have a cold but
apparently everyone has one. Some people have two. I’ve decided that I want to
do food/consumption experiments on myself for a bit. Primarily, to exercise my
willpower.
As of yesterday, I am leaving my credit card at home so I don’t buy
very much. I still have a little bit of cash but it’ll feel more like a
pressure not to. And so: I am keeping track of the food I eat on
livestrong.com.
This site also shows my ‘calorie goal’ which I regularly surpass. When
a muffin is 500 calories, that’s what happens.
I will eat only food that I have at home or is given to me for the
whole week and then evolve the next week. That’s right, all those cookies and
muffins were given to me free. It’s super hard to turn down free food.
So, as long as I am successful this week, next week I will try eating
only whey protein and beets while evaluating my physical and psychological
state. I need to have at least one solid food so that I can correctly consume
my multivitamin. If I can spend a week only consuming whey and protein bars it
will be a miracle since people keep trying to give me cookies. The only
asterisk to this is: if my bf feeds me. This isn’t to pressure him but it’s a
principle-type rule.
This week, starting tomorrow, I will report regularly on my consumption
pattern, psychological state (including the physical pain experienced from
being forced to exhibit willpower) and will take random pictures of things that
I look at for long periods of time. This include Teagan, Esper, and disaster
areas. Completely unrelated but I’ll give them figure legends that suggest
otherwise.
All this so that I can procrastinate.
