Diet Diary - Day 3

      Day 3 Thursday April 18, 2002 Bridget Jones's Diary Has a Sequel

      Slicked hair back (much better), checked on wobbly chin in mirror, put on old make up (also better) and ate nothing as dragged child to chemo, where, with shirt off, his weight loss is evident. In a sulk, ate a turkey-roast beef Togo's sandwich with chips and diet Pepsi once we came home. Child had a large Sicilian chicken, chips and lemonade, requested popcorn. To lose weight, his new rule - eat half and force-feed mom the rest.
     
      Found Bridget Jones's Diary has a sequel - ran to Amazon and ordered it. Was so upset at the Oprah show (older women should just realize that they are old and get on with it - like, move over already. Since am out of work this does not go over well). Ate a piece of chocolate cake and a square of seriously dark Hershey's chocolate. Looking for an open bottle red wine per doctor's orders. May have to break down and open a new one. Still stressed over day at the clinic (child had a spinal done). Consider that rampant intestinal dysfunction in the AM contributed to smaller waistline anyway. Remember to eat calcium pills before bed or will be hunting cheese, tapioca pudding, custard and ice cream tomorrow. Pudding and custard is dangerous. I eat the whole mess within 4 hours. Child does not care for same. (Will eat my ice cream though.)
     
      Had to make a hot pocket for the boy after feeding him thick slab of whole wheat thing which I also ate slathered in honey. This necessitated my cleaning the digital TV remote of sticky stuff and changing my nightgown.
     
      Cat is not burying anymore which is a signal that I must clean the cat pan. Cat also has left bruise on leg from wild cat-fit of running and tripping me at odd intervals for no apparent reason other than a dirty cat pan.
