Detox Report: Part 2

This has been a rough, rough week. Lack of alcohol and sweet stuff (namely chocolate) has made me a miserable bitch. People have heard of my explosive mood swings and are steering clear of me at all costs. My one brave friend keeps urging me to just relax and have a beer, a candybar. But I won’t do it. I’ve come this far, 3 whole days under my belt and I’m not about to ruin the detoxification process. (Plus I’ve already lost like 2 lbs!).

I figure the worst of it’s over. Monday. Wow, that was brutal. My hang over was still lingering and all I wanted was a big fat cheeseburger and fries (uh, my mouth is watering). But instead I made myself eat “good” food (i.e. a turkey wrap, which totally didn’t cut it). Since then I’ve had a few headaches, now they’re subsiding.

Tuesday and Wednesday were tough because one of my roommate’s mothers was in town and she baked brownies and cookies for us. Do you have any idea how hard it is the resist a plate of freshly baked, chewy, delicious, warm chocolate chip cookies. I had to leave my house and calm the craving with a Cherry Coke Zero (thank the lord these were recenlty invented).

Then there was last night. Everyone was pregaming with my favorite wine, getting decked out for an off campus party and I just sat in envy, drinking my bottle of water (I’ve refilled this puppy a million times all week) in my sweats. I knew if I joined them, I’d be pressured by everyone to break the ‘tox (as I’ve come to call it). Knowing my guy friends, they’d spike my O.J. So I was lame and stayed in.

Tonight is going to be the real battle. Thirsty Thursday is my most favorite night of the week. But I’m feeling good, feeling strong. So we’ll see if I can get through ’til Saturday (the night I plan to reintroduce myself to the booze).

Wish me luck, friends. Wish me luck.
