Starving.  Well I feel like it.  I am traveling and trying to stay on the cleanse.  This morning was oatmeal but bet it was instant so it probably had gluten but I only had about 1/2 a cup and herbal tea.  Lunch was harder at this little greek hole in the wall the customer took us to.  I got a cucumber and tomato salad which had feta cheese (which I tried to work around) and a vegetarian wrap.  I didn't eat the pita but the wrap had a little yogurt sauce and I did not try to eat it but it was all over the lettuce so between that and the feta I broke  the dairy vegan rule.  SO after a bit of oatmeal and some tomatos and cucumbers I am left barely able to think.

I went through the hotel menu and think I found a few things that work.  Onion soup - no cheese no bread (probably chicken stock but beggars cant be choosers)  Steamed broccoli and a vegetarian napoleon which once I pulled off the cheese turned out to be a portabella mushroom and a little spinach as I avoided the mash potatoes as I think that counts as gluten.  The broccoli I am pretty sure had butter but gee it is just hard to control all the variables.  I am about 700 calories for the day which is problematic in many ways as I really want to run tomorrow and I have almost no food in me.  Surprisingly I feel full right now.

I can't tell you today how much I wanted the pita breads and the mash potatoes and the roll and the chocolate.  I wanted to use the excuse of no food around to eat bad food I could almost justify it.  I was good because I didn't want to feel that guilt of making "bad choices for good reasons."

I feel like food has become my whole life.  I think and talk about it more than I ever have before.   Its really crazy.  Although I put my pants on this morning and they fit a little better.  I did not feel as tired today and other than just being freezing I am actually doing well.  I remembered too that I am supposed to be suffering from PMS last week and then have my period this week.  

Dude - what the hell am I going to eat tomorrow?  I think chinese food.  the mornings are rough.  I will stick with the oatmeal and might eat chinese tomorrow for dinner.
