Last night's dinner should not have been as challenging as it was, but unfortunately I ended up eating a pepperoni. I shared a pepperoni pizza with a friend thinking that I would just pick the pepperonis off. However, I got a little bit distracted when my most favoritest show, How I Met Your Mother, came on. I was all excited and grabbed a slice of pizza and had eaten a pepperoni before I came to my senses. Not to mention the fact that pepperonis do not come off of pizza as well as one might think. This might also be a good time to note that my dinner was so not healthy in any way. lol. Oh well.

So far, I'm eating good without the meat. It helps a lot that there's a meat and three bar downstairs in the building I work in. My lunches will feature several different vegetables when I eat at work. I find that variety is nice. However, around 3pm yesterday I got really hungry. Now I usually get a little hungry and have a light snack, but yesterday I was starving! I had a glass of water because I read that sometimes when you feel like you're starving, you're actually thirsty. Drinking a glass of water before you eat is supposed to help you eat less at that meal. I was full of water for a little while, and then I just couldn't take it anymore! I had some M&M's to quiet my tummy. Still vegetarian!
Day 2 - so far, so good. We'll see how I feel around 3pm.
