Vegetarian Week: Day 2

Dun Dun Dunnnnn! It's Day Twooooo!

First of all, I must say that this day has passed by in one great headache. Not from the diet change, of course, but just from the general dull loll of a crappy school day. For my school, it is a "B" day, meaning I have 4 specific classes to attend, all of which suck some major balls. It didn't help that my alarm clock decided it would rather not go off this morning--the damn thing does that every now and then, which grates terribly on my nerves! Although, it's ironic, because man did I call it yesterday ! I don't believe my tardiness was from vegetarianism, however.

I had eggs and juice for breakfast, nothing too out of the ordinary. Most of the differences I found in my diet has been that during lunch I really craved a sandwich--something I usually have on B days. I made by with some steamed califlower and a bag of gardettos I stole from Sam and water. While sitting between Patrick and Angie, discussing the future Vegan Week diet I'm going to try with Nick, I suddenly was struck with a thought; 'I wonder if this diet would affect how much I weigh within a week?'

Now, a couple of the guys got a little snippy when I voiced this thought:

"Oh God, you're not doing this to lose weight, are you?"

"C'mon, weight-loss diets are stupid and you don't need it."

Hey, thanks for the ego-boost, guys! But in all honesty, I think it's an interesting concept. Besides how a person's weight fluctuates daily, I wonder if I would lose weight since beginng this diet? From my current trend in eating, I would say no. I find that when going for some food, I get a strange reaction in my head telling me I should eat more than usual just because I'm not eating any meat. I found this feeling very strong when I was making dinner tonight: buttered pasta with parmesan cheese and a banana. For the most part I can control these urges, but they are a strange occurance, probably just produced from my acknowledgement of a lack of a specific type of food.

It's a bummer that my sister took the scale to college with her--now I'll never know!

So far this adventure hasn't been too hard, but we'll see how that goes, if these urges to either eat more or want meat continue to grow. I'm intrigued to see how strong they will be by the end of the week and if I suddenly go on some meat-eating binge or, conversely, just suddenly have no desire to eat meat at all.

Who knows what the future will bring???
