When you're trying to beat your body into something it doesn't remember being, you probably shouldn't skip meals... I found this out the hard way today. I mean I know I *knew* that, at some point, but still... so much writing, so many deadlines, things just slip - and by things, I mean eating.

I remember going to GenCon with one of my ex's and I swear if she hadn't bee the food faerie I'd have probably died at a gaming table around the age of 22.

Thankfully I made it another decade without dying prematurely, so I guess I learned that important lesson along the way When I'm busy, or my thoughts are preoccupied, I tend to prioritize things subconsciously, and my own eating seems to come last. I honestly think that if I could survive (well) on just a pill or paste, I'd have adapted to that years ago. Food and drink are a purely social event for me and when left to my own devices I eat the most simple and direct things possible. It's only when someone else is involved that I enjoy the motions or feel obligated to indulge.

I gave up Sugar on Sunday... today was my third day without it - the first day was definitely the hardest, but two days in it's a little bit easier. It's, realistically, the only way I'm going to make my goal by Sept 2013...

Half the week is gone, and I'm really looking forward to the weekend - well, mostly Friday
