a sad tale of ben and jerry's
not able to enjoy music at the moment. but i think i may be able to read,because i found a book i really like,to my surprise. it's 'the curious incident of the dog in the night-time' by mark haddon. it's written from the point of view of someone who is autistic,and i really enjoy the writing. there's no doubt in my mind i have some autistic traits,so that might be why. it reminds me of young readers' books,which i sometimes enjoy more than adult novels because they tend to be more descriptive.
i read about 75 pages last night when i couldn't sleep and i read a little bit more today.
i want to get out of the clothes i slept in,but i don't have the energy right now.
i've been trying to cut down on my sugar,but that just makes me more grumpy.
i thought i would experiment earlier this week by buying ben and jerry's ice cream instead of frozen yogurt. my reasoning was this: the ice cream was higher in fat,so it would fill me up faster and therefore i would be eating less sugar. my plan was to eat what they call 'one serving',that is one fourth of the pint. when i get a pint of frozen yogurt,i eat the whole thing,which is considered four servings. four servings of frozen yogurt has less fat than one serving of ice cream,so i don't feel really full,but i'm consuming a lot of sugar and calories.
so,okay,i decided to get a pint of mudpie ice cream. and boy is that stuff delicious! in fact,it was so delicious i ate the entire pint,and boy was i then full. so now i'd had more fat AND the same amount of sugar. so no progress there. plus,now all i can think about is how delicious that particular flavor is,and they don't make it in yogurt.
i've been trying to buy the smaller,teeny 'one serving' size...the little cups. but they have very limited selection in those,and one store doesn't even have the frozen yogurt ones.
this is me,trying not to eat the only mood elevator that works for me,because i am so uncomfortable with the thicker waist i've acquired.
