Entropy
The less I eat the more energy I have, which you would think is the opposite of what should happen. You would think the fewer calories, the less fuel you have to consume, and the less energy you’ll derive from that fuel. That’s not the case for me.
And my issue isn’t that I have more energy, it’s that I’m not able to focus the energy. For the last week or so, I can’t do anything for any period of time. I get impatient, lose interest, and want to move on. It’s a struggle to make myself do the tasks I need to do. With my tranquilizer dosage decreased – by eating small quantities of healthy foods – I’m tense and agitated.
I wonder how long it takes for the body and mind to adjust to fewer calories, and to more nutritious food. I suppose that if I were the average dieter, I’d probably abandon the diet right about now. I’ve lost a little. Fit into clothes I hadn’t been able to for a while. Got more energy. Yippee! Let’s eat!
I won’t though for two, maybe three reasons. The first is the lapband. Eating the same quantities of food as I did two months ago would cause physical discomfort, maybe even pain. The second reason is that I WANT to lose more weight. And, I think that how I feel currently, will pass. I just need to be patient.
This is me being patient. Shit.

i was thinking about what the underlying causes of addiction are;and why someone for example; would stop eating compulsively;but then start to smoke..or gamble..or drink..to excess ..
they do this;i believe; because the underlying causes that lead them to their original coping behaviour has not been fully felt..and examined ..and healed.
just a thought..
keep on going alice..
