• 19 April 2007 - Day 3 Extreme Diet Number 5,483,602,971

She wakes up. Looking around the room (imagine Darth Vader-type breathing here), suddenly it occurs to her she made it through the night without succombing to the desires of a Starbuck's Venti Half-caf non-fat White Chocolate Mocha last night. Not even a Chai Tea. YES! It's working!

The anti-everything not-so-much-of-anything diet appears to be working!

But seriously, I am once again attempting to remove all signs of intellegent life, I mean, all the hazardous waste, I mean, the pseudo anti-toxic virulent osmotic spasoid. . . .

Oh, well. . . You get the drift. I have had an annoying cough ever since the birth of baby wig. She will be 3 at the end of July, and I have no reason for the cough. (Doctors administered heavy duty antibiotics to me after she was born, which is another story all together). About 6 months ago, I tried an extreme diet because I had determined it had to be what I was eating (trigger reaction), and had some good results. Well, sickness or holidays, or some such thing came up and I stopped.

I am back at it again. Aside from the extreme headache I had yesterday, and yes, the incredibly difficult to deny cravings (which, we have already noted, I did deny - yeah!), I am doing okay.

"Extreme diet" is a Rotation Diet where I eat particular foods on a particular day, avoiding them on the "off" days. The beginning pickings are very slim, though (maybe I will be too, when I'm through!), and so, not that I'm hungry, but I know by experience it is very difficult to eat your fill of, say. . . cauliflower (yes, cauliflower breath is disgusting even to the "wearer").

So, on top of everything else (kids are all good), I am eating next to nothing right now, and loving every minute of it. Coughing is beginning to dwindle. White flour definitely BAD.

Ad absurdum!

I have been there done that lots of times although I have never heard of this one. The one thing that finally worked for me was finding a doctor who was willing to help. 80 pounds and 4 months later I feel better than I have in years! I still have about 20 more pounds to go but my doctor and I are waiting until summer for the next go round.

I am praying for you as you go through this trying tme. May God be there with you to help you through all the cravings.
