starving… and then this gem comes along

March 17, 2011

you know how it is… you’re doing a detox, and although you’re not hungry, you can’t stop thinking about food…

your sister comes in and shows you a youtube clip…

it ends…

suggestions then appear on the screen…

and you click onto this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t0Ef1Fs2Hw&feature=related

suddenly… not craving food anymore. quite content with my peppermint tea thankyou very much

getting into bed to read. i’m fairly confident that i’ll be able to get through quite a bit more than last night… reading a recount of a botched experiment in new zealand about women with cancer of the uterus is NOT a doable thing on day one… i now know. we now all know
