Day 4

[visi_yesthatone]

So a friend posted a link on FaceBook and I watched the movie about people and diets and why they don't work and such, I was waiting for what it was going to sell me because it was set up much like an infomercial. Far be it from me not to indulge in America's favorite insomnia past-time, so I watched it to the end

I've noticed that the hungrier I get, the more I give into unhealthy cravings. So if I eat before I get too hungry, I can eat anything without it feeling like a sacrifice. But I drink too much soda (Japan has a depressingly small variety of commercially available juice).

When I made this comment in April, I weighed over 160 pounds.

Since I've become unable to eat dairy products, I've lost a ton of weight. This might be the least I've ever weighed (I don't have a scale, but I look thinner than ever, so I probably weigh accordingly). The reason is that almost everything I used to eat (especially in Japan) contained lactose. I used to drink milk like water, and now I drink water like water. That's at least 1,000 calories a day just from that (I drank a LOT of milk, it used to be that a gallon wasn't enough for the day). Although it's not a very healthy weight loss. At my thinnest 7 years ago, I weighed 125 pounds. Now I look thinner than then, and I'm continuing to lose weight.
