Month 2, day 22
One more day until the big Weigh In. :) Another wave of depression. Still don't get it. Maybe it was the smell of cat barf left over in the car from my mother-in-law's Grrls in VirtualPrison Outing yesterday. But neither she nor the cats were in the car this morning. Is it the humidity? Is it menopa...

Two months ago half a pita (I assume you mean a large one) would be a bird portion for me as well. Now about a cup or so, or half a sandwich, is a meal. That's because if I eat more, I get so grossly full I can barely move. I let my stomach tell me when it's done. When it's full, I stop. I could NEV...
