Rework and Retry

That dreadful attempt at a diet made the other day led to nothing but water weight gain and great whining because my blood sugar fell in a hole. As I mentioned in a post at the Psychological Sewer, I was fortunate enough to be able to borrow a can of V-8 from my supervisor, get a banana from the dining room fruit bowl, and find 75 cents to get a pack of cookies. I know that fat people aren't supposed to eat cookies, but with my blood sugar stabilized, I felt a hell of a lot better. Hypoglycemia does affect the mental outlook, there's no two ways about it. And here's the rub--even with eating the cookies, I'm down a pound from yesterday. So there--nyah!
The point I'm wanting to impart is that I came away from this defeating experience with an idea that I hope will lead to at least minor victory. The idea of eating less one day and more the next to kick the metabolism into gear is not a new one. But instead of eating 400 calories worth of very high sodium foods I'm going to try one day with 1000-1200 calories worth of balanced foods (this is where those slim fast things help) and the next day eat normally. This doesn't seem as extreme and may actually work. At any rate, I don't forsee it blowing my feet up like water balloons. I'll let y'all know!
