********************

This has been a heavy-eating day, and I was hungry for most of it. I'm not detecting a pattern in days when I can never seem to fill up, and days where I'm not hungry and don't think about food all the time. (Maybe it has something to do with the damp and cold, which it was today?) The good thing is, even on days where I eat more than "normal" on this diet, I still am hitting below the 1800-or-so maintenance amount. I have to say I'm looking forward to getting to eat 1800 calories a day, every day, again, though... One more month! (I hope.)
