30-day Eating Clean Challenge Day 1

I keep thinking about the benefit of this diet I'm going to adopt and I feel so great. Today I feel lethargic upon waking, feeling like I have no energy whatsoever to carry on my life. I mean, really? No energy? I freaking eat almost the whole fridge yesterday. Why am I still tired?

So this new diet will sure get rid of that problem. There is no question in my mind that I am going to do that. This is escaping the misery, something organisms are driven to do.

After every meal, I can feel the fat is slowly dropping off of my rear. It's amazing.

The most joyful Okeshield experience ever!
I'm full. I'm vibrant. Wow. Today I have 1.5 plate of salad, a cup of coffee with soymilk, and 2 pieced of lean pork loin. Tons of artichoke hearts, some chick pea, hummus, tuna, sprinkle with balsamic vinegar. What a joyful way to eat really. Why don't I eat like this long time ago? The best part is that when I come out of the dining hall, I still feel like a human. I don't feel tired and go straight to sleep as when I stuff myself with sugar-rich dessert. I actually have no desire whatsoever to stand in the line for chinese food and grab a piece of brownie. I look at how other people eat and I feel like I am more intelligent and special to choose this diet. I'm going for a long-term behavior change here, for real. This is a good reinforcement.

And it's cheap compared to having statler salad or incessant snacking throughout the day. This way I can eat until I'm full and stop thinking about food. I can grab a lot of fruits which will be my dinner. All of these are covered in 7 bucks. Can you imagine that? Wow, it's great!

Okay. Keep doing what I am doing. It is a joyful transition.

I was okay until almost 4pm. I started getting hungry again. So I ate a banana. I don't think fruits work well for me. Because after banana I reach out for apple and another banana and another apple. After taking them all down I still feel like eating something. I gotta be careful about sugar now and maybe stop eating fruits. The thing is fruits are very convenient to take out from dining hall. If I don't take out fruits I feel like I'm wasting money (even though the whole meal + coffee + unlimited salad are already pretty cheap.) I wish I could just take a plastic box with me and get all the veggies out lol.
