] Day 4: Thanks. I needed that!

[Guest guest]

Yeah -- It was an amazing and very, very different feeling for me. I cannot

remember the

last time I have looked at a loaf of bread, or piece of bread, and not wanted to

eat it on the

spot. I LOVE bread!!! All kinds of bread. Particularly ones with hard crusts

and hot, fluffy

insides spread with butter! And sourdoughs. But any kind, just any old kind,

will do.

Cakes. Bagels. Tortillas.... You name it. And here I was in the bread section

of the store

and then later, at home, holding these loafs and not feeling any desire to eat

them! That

was truly remarkable. Kind of like my stomach had dissociated itself from my

head. Very

NOT me.

I feel hungry again this morning, even though I think I stuffed my gut with

veggies

yesterday to get in my 5.5 cups worth. This is a most unusual eating plan.

It's an adventure, and one I want to experience.... and if it works, just stay

on it.

Last night's chayote was really interesting. What an amazing veggie! And the

braised

cabbage was good, too. I'd never have thought of eating it that way. I'm not

sure I'd eat

them together if I weren't on P1, but, now there are several more veggie recipes

to choose

from. I like this way of cooking. It's just the LEARNING of it that takes time

and isn't easy.

So, we'll see what Day 5 (Or, if I start over, my new Day1) brings.

Thanks fo the encouragement.
