Raw Food (Kind of) Diet Days 1 and 2!!!

Tag! Wie geht's?

I know, I know; you're probably wondering why I didn't post yesterday, right? Well, I'll tell you why: I was so hungry that looking at a computer screen gave me a headache and so I ended up going to bed at 9pm. For those of you who don't know, I didn't wake up till about 1 o'clock. Yeah, now it's scary, huh? My meals yesterday consisted of a large amount of sunflower seeds, thermos upon thermosfulls of green tea, and a large salad consisting of lettuce, spinach, several handfuls of craisins, and a boiled egg. It was fantastic! Though I don't know whether it's my own opinion or just induced by the insane hunger I was feeling yesterday evening. That's how my first day went.

Today wasn't much better to be honest- I woke up half an hour earlier than yesterday, but I've only been drinking tea all day (though it's only been about 5 hours since I woke). I am currently munching on a gigantic salad much like the one from yesterday, but with less craisins, more eggs, and chicken. And I gotta say, I am really loving this salad! I also packed some carrot sticks for later tonight when I really get into studying. I might stop by the market and pick up some fruit too. I'm sure I can get through today incident free, but still cheer me on. You never know when I might crack!

And for those of you who are worried I'm starving myself/not consuming enough calories, I assure you, I'm pretty worried myself. Yesterday was an exception to this rule, but I'm trying to use juice/drinks to supply whatever calories I may be missing. And I know that it's healthier to just eat large quantities of healthy food, but this diet isn't really about being healthy. This diet is really about two things: 1. shocking my system away from processed food (which is why I try to stick to natural juice and tea but sometimes sweeter drinks are unavoidable) and 2. Forcing my stomach to become smaller by reducing the amount I eat at one time and in general. Well, I guess there's a secret third reason for doing this diet and that's to kick my addiction to carby sweets/breads (I'm not including fruit in this), though this ties into the second reason pretty easily. I'm hoping that, but avoiding them in general, I won't want them as much + my stomach will shrink since those foods expand in the stomach and I eat them way too much.

Well, that's basically a rundown of everything I'm doing and how it's all been going so far. I've never been able to make it past the first 3 days of a diet, so I feel that tomorrow will determine whether this is something I ride through to the end, or if I'll just quit and try something else.

Question of the Day:
Do you fail with diets like me? Is there a magic number of days you can't seem to get past? Or do you have enough willpower to stick to a diet for long periods of time? What are your feelings on my diet/diets in general?
