Rant: marriage

One of my favorite bloggers, Yarn Harlot, mentioned in her annual Canada Day post, that one of the things that made her proud about her country is that same-sex marriages are legal.

SBD: day 8

8:58 pm
didn't lose any weight yesterday. Can't think of why except maybe too many nuts? I'm still craving salt mostly, and sometimes sweet. Not sure if that means I need more water (although it seems like I'm always drinking water). I did have some coke zero yesterday, two cans, one at lunch and the other trying to make it into a slushie (which didn't work). Tried to be good today, I've had about 1.5 servings of nuts but haven't had any meat. Over a week on this diet and I still just don't care for meat. I maintain that meat's more difficult to cook well and I don't like it as well as veggies or starches. Go figure. Don't know what else I can do though, since apparently that's part of my eating problem. I really wish I didn't have to eat. It's become a burden. Not that I want to starve myself because I want to be thin - it's just annoying to constantly have to question what and how much and when and in which combinations...I'd rather just have someone stick an IV in me and I'll eat only if I want to.
Planning to have spaghetti squash and one of those chicken breasts for dinner. Still haven't figured out how to reheat the chicken without getting jerky. Meat. ugh.
