First day with no loss! It's always a bit of a let-down, of course. But I imagine it means I've flushed all of the easy toxins/glycogen/water/what-have-you and that the next round of losing will be pure fat, right? Right.

Plus it's TOM, and also I had a glass of milk last night with my evening supplements instead of water (I was hungry) which means that my fast was shorter. Yesterday was a little rough. By the end of the day I was daydreaming of solid, crunchy food. I think I just needed more milk. But I'm almost out and don't really want to spend any more $ on it right now, so I guess I'll deal. If I run out today and need more I'll have a fried egg and consider it the start of my impending "egg fast." I have about three days worth of eggs right now. Might have to break down and get some supermarket eggs. I need to get through this month as cheaply as possible and these "fasts" I'm doing definitely keep costs low! I have a pork roast and some ground beef in the freezer but my boyfriend is coming NEXT weekend instead of this weekend after all so I think I'll save those for when he's here. My raw milk supply is about to dry up for a while though. I'm considering whether or not I should maybe just alternate milk and eggs until it's gone, which the farmer expects will be around the 25th.
On the life front - my family is in a state of flux right now.
My mother had an MRI on her pituitary gland and was diagnosed with empty sella syndrome (basically her pituitary doesn't show up because it's being flattened out by something). I don't see that it has anything to do with any of her physical issues based on anything I can find about it, but it's what her new doctor wants to treat. Anyone ever have any experience with it?
My brother-in-law has decided to leave his job at the Whole Paycheck after seven years of being jerked around by the company. My sister is a working musician who makes very little. I have no idea what they are planning to do about money.
My dad has decided to retire from his company to go to a consulting firm, but my mother's treatment is dependent on his insurance, so I'm not sure how that's supposed to work out, whether I agree with her treatment path or not.
My boyfriend's ex-wife is marrying the trucker she started dating two months ago. I'm still forbidden from meeting their teenage daughter (the ex had it written into their divorce that the daughter was strictly forbidden from meeting anyone he dated, meanwhile she's brought home a string of losers including an alcoholic who would get drunk and threaten to kill himself IN FRONT OF the daughter who was twelve at the time...)
I have decided to take a complete hibernation from social life for a while to get my diet and my research in order and so far it is going quite well. I've not felt lonely or deprived yet and it's been almost a week since I've been around another human being. I think I got a lot of socializing out of my system during the holiday party season and honestly got a little bit fed up with my current crowd. Maybe if I disappear for a while they'll forget about me and I can just move on?
