I decided not to go to my Bible study because the pizza would just be so hard to ignore. I got jealous of my mom's pasta tonight and I had my own very exciting dinner without her pasta. I just want to go back to eating whatever I want to. But.....

I am so excited! Tonight I had 2 (homemade) hamburgers! I haven't had any meat but chicken or fish in 2 1/2 weeks and mostly it was only cod. I like cod but it gets old and the last piece I had made me sick (nasty place inside it). Red meat tasted AMAZING. If I tolerate this in 2 days I'm making meatloaf and having a baked potato with it. I'm down to 2 containers of rice in my fridge and that's no longer panic-inducing; I'm not making rice at 10 pm as I would have been even 2 days ago.

This diet lasts a long time more but this is the first big step toward the future.
