Day 13 - First Major Sign That Something is Wrong...

This morning, I was driving to work and I had my steaming cup of oatmeal in a mug with me. I had added enough water for me to drink it rather than have to use a spoon. So I as I'm cruising down the freeway at a crisp 70 MPH, I take my first sip of oatmeal. My stomach suddenly started to feel strange, but I took another swig of oatmeal... bad idea. I then started to dry heave, thinking, "oh my god, here it comes". So I desperately look around the car and find my lunch bag. I emptied out the contents of the lunch bag, and then I emptied out the contents of my stomach into the lunch bag... all while trying not to slam into the 18-wheeler barreling down the lane next to mine. I cant even remember the last time I've vomited before today. Must have been a very long time ago. Well now Im officially anorexic AND bolemic

I dont know what the heck THAT was all about... I didn't know malnutrition lead to upchucking food. Seems counter-intuitive, considering that my body would want food when it doesnt have enough food.

I'm now considering discontinuing this experiment. I havent even made it half-way through and already Im staring failure in the eyes. Hopefully this was an isolated incident. Before I started this experiment, a friend had asked me "what if you get sick? You're going to stop right?" I had dimissed his concerns by telling him "I dont get sick," and "I'll deal with it if I do." Easier said than done apparently.

  1. Are you living comfortably on 50 cents???
    Be sure to see a doctor soon even if you haven't decided to scrap it and if possible, a shrink.
    I'm serious.
