The joy of eating a ham omlette every day has not yet worn off; but I do find that I'm very hungry, and not very tolerant of waiting for the ol' 10:30 low-fat cheese stick that comes down the tracks. It is a more disciplined way to live, and I'm OK with that. I feel in some ways like I'm driving away from my old style of eating, watching it get smaller and smaller.
Aileen is my diet partner. She and I discuss the various merits here and there. It's good to have a partner in a diet. Because most of the angst is experience alone, it's nice to trade war stories. Who else could be sympathetic to your plight but someone else on a diet?
In the words of David Byrne "I dream of cherry pies, candy bars and chocolate chip cookies."

At lunch, I asked the waitress if there was bread in the turkey burger—she said 'no' but I'm sure she was lying. A case of "I'm not going to tell you the truth now that you have your lunch." Also, there was carrot shreds in the salad—causing me to clear the table with my right arm in frustration, causing a scene. Actually that didn't happen, but I was upset.
Aileen says I need more fiber. I say if 'vegetables are so good why don't they make them out of meat?"

Very funny as usual. Clearing the table after the carrot incident was great, although you stole my animal bumper sticker for your final joke. If God didn't want us to eat animals, he shouldn't have made them out of meat.
I'm very proud of you. I almost want to go back on my diet. I truly miss my heavy meat, cheese and eggs meal in the morning.
Good luck.
