I can’t believe I am at day 3 already.  Today I am struggling more than yesterday.  Holy crap I miss food.  What I really miss is burgers.  To be more specific, what I keep on thinking about is the Friendly’s grilled cheese burger.

I never had one of these, but oh my goodness, doesn’t that look fantastic.  Two grilled cheese sandwiches surrounding a slab of meat.  This looks like a fat man’s manna.  I can almost feel the grease and cheese dripping down my chin right now.  afjkleiowejiofawejof   Sorry about that, my drool shorted out my keyboard for a bit.

Ok, back on track.  Still holding strong.  Lost 4 more pounds.  9 pounds total.  Based on my calorie calculations in the bananas, I figure I am consuming about 1,000 calories a day.  I would estimate I was averaging about 3,500 calories a day prior to this.

I am sooo hungry.  Somebody throw me a bone here.  Please, any sort of bone I can gnaw on would be great.

After starting this diet, I did some research and found out there is really a thing called the banana diet, or the morning banana diet which originated in Japan.  Basically you eat all the bananas you want for breakfast and after that you can eat as you wish.  I consider this a light weight diet.

I found renewed strength today.  Instead of horfing down my crackers first thing, I ate 1 in the morning and 1 at lunch.  This helped me make it through the morning with something to look forward to.  I am feeling pretty good right now.

I lost 5 pounds yesterday, so that is helping me feel rock solid.  I can only hope that I can continue this for the weight loss benefit alone.  5 lbs a day, 20 days, Icould lose 100 pounds.  That would be awesome.  I am not as hungry as I thought I would be.

I will update you again on this latest form of torture.

I started a new challenge today.  I friend and I have decided to begin and epic battle for bragging rights.  Each competition is worth 1 point and the race is to get to 100 points.  I theory, we could go through a gruelling 199 competitions to find a winner, but I do not see that happening.  I should crush him long before that.

Our first challenge is see who can go the longest only eating bananas.  We granted each other a couple exceptions.

1. He wanted coffee, so I got mountain dew.  His coffee does have cream in it, so I think I should have pushed that and gotten more concessions, but the die is now cast and we cannot rewind.

2. He wanted 4 ounces a day of some cult juice, so I got 2 peanut butter crakers per day.

Oh, I wish I had savored those peanut butter crackers longer.   As of 12:45, I have consumed, 4 bananas, 2 mountain dews, and 2 crackers.  I am not looking forward to another banana. 

I have resorted to sending him a picture of a tasty meal at breakfast and lunch, and I will again at supper to tease his pallet.  I fear it is working against me as I search for the photos.  I caught a glimpse of a 5 guys burger.  Just typing that made my stomach growl.  There  may be no more updates in this category.  I may not last the day.  This is far worse than the $1 a day diet, and worse than the ‘who can eat only carrots the longest’ competition.
