cabbage soup diet

My facebook friend from middle school told me about Cabbage Soup Diet so I started today.

am: 2 small apples, pear (I cheated a bit: had a half cup of coffee with cream and sugar. I never have coffee w. additives but I needed something to fill the void....)
pm: cabbage soup, plum
snack: cabbage soup
dinner: cabbage soup, cantalope (I cheated a bit: I had to sample the dinner that I made for the rest of my family ginger soy chicken w.veg, and also the dessert that Terran and I made; a banana split! - only microscopic bites of each, sigh.)

This diet sucks. I am constantly gassy (because of cabbage) and hungry (because of lack of anything substantial). It will last for 7 days and each day, there's variations with the constant cabbage soup. I actually like the soup but I felt like I had enough fruits after that second apple. Being used to eating some sort of lovable carb for breakfast, I felt drowsy and off and hungry in the morning. I googled this diet and it's a fad diet that pros don't recommend. But it's just a week and I didn't feel like quitting on the first day.

I am in a rut with Pat these days. Love and hate go hand in hand in our relationship. Most days, I feel love; lots of it. Yesterday and today, there's hate; lots of it. Maybe it's because I am hungry and probably pms-ing. Hopefully, I can feel love again tomorrow. Maybe some rice, chicken, and a piece of chocolate would help....

Terran saw monkey puppets making banana split on TV and claimed that he wanted one. So I made him eat his dinner and set out to make our dessert. We set up 3 little bowls (for Pat, Sisi, and himself) and split a large banana 3 ways. We put scoops of raspberry ice cream, and vanilla on top. Then, we topped off with whip cream from the can. We had fun making and eating it. Only thing missing - cherry on the top. Sisi refused her dessert and continued eating her corn with a bit of butter.
