$1 Diet Day 1 Lunch

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Even though I just stopped eating the oatmeal about an hour ago, I found myself hungry for lunch.  In my hunger, I thought about eating the leftover oatmeal, and I felt like puking.  Clearly I stuffed way too much oatmeal down my throat.  I have found my bathroom schedule to off so far today.  Probably the lack of intake is reducing the need for outgo.

For lunch I had:

2 slices of potato bread- $0.20

.5 ounces (1 tablespoon) of Peanut Butter $0.05

.5 ounces (1 tablespoon) of Jelly $0.05 (this was actually free from my mom, so I used the price from Weis)

As much as I was craving for less food at the end of my breakfast, I found myself craving for more at the end of lunch.  Clearly I will have to throw a few cents towards lunch tomorrow.

$1 Diet Day 1 Breakfast

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Ok, now I begin this incredibly difficult diet.  Starting out, I plan to limit my consumption to $1/day.  What I mean by this is that I will not let myself consume free food provided to me at work, at others houses, or the sample ladies at Sam’s club.  Honestly, I do not see myself sticking to this standard, but we will see.  I promise full disclosure in these updates whether you like it or not.  You will understand better later.

Day 1- breakfast

3.5 ounces of oatmeal

2 ounces of brown sugar

total cost- $0.33

This was honestly a lot more oatmeal than I had anticipated.  I had to force it down my throat towards the end, and even then I could not finish.  I will have to adjust it tomorrow.  I may also have to start looking for another cheap breakfast food.

Edit- Based on a recomendation I am adding before pics of my body so you can witness the any transformation that may occur.  I recommend not scrolling any further if you have a weak stomach.

I was going to make some observations, but it is just so sad.  Clearly the man breasts, the sparse hair, or even the cavelike size of the belly button would be great comic material, but I will abstain.

This is the side view.

No, I am not pregnant.  Surprisingly, the belt is still holding up after months of this abuse.

Aftermath and Onward to New Adventures

Friday, May 1st, 2009

It good to be done.  Today I ate like a pig.  The crap monkeys rebelled.  I ate more.  The crap monkeys rebelled again.  I ate more.  The crap monkeys gave in.

My next challenge I am tentatively schedulling for the Friday before Memorial Day.  I will post on Facebook once I have more concrete plans.
