Day 4 - The Girl Can't Help It
Wow talk about a transformation from yesterday. Not only have I felt wide awake all day but I haven't felt hungry once and I've had a very pleasant buzz going on. Only side effect I can see is that I do still seem to be fixating on sex but, hey ho, it could be worse I guess. As long as I can still function who cares if the majority of my thoughts border on the obscene?!?

Actually, I had so much mental energy today that I even managed to finish off some things at work which I've been back burnering for a while.

This being day four I was allowed my first bar - woohoo! I don't think I can put into words how excited I was this morning at the prospect of eating something solid and, after much umming & ahhing, I decided to choose the fruit bar for my breakfast. But I gave myself a very long & hard lecture about not eating it all at once and trying to make it last all day. Shouldn't have bothered - it was pretty unpleasant & making it last turned out to be a doddle.

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, maybe those people with a sweet tooth love it but it just was so not my bag. I'll describe it and you can decide if it would be yours either. The first disappointing thing was that I was expecting it to be like those fruit & cereal bars you can buy - oaty & nutty with the odd bit of dried fruit thrown in for added chewiness (I may be inventing a few words here so please forgive me). You'd think that would be the case right? I mean it was called a fruit bar. But no, I couldn't have been more wrong if I'd tried.

On opening my 'bar' (may need to discuss the use of that word with Trading Standards) I suddenly felt like I had one Christmas morning when I'd ripped open the wrapping on my present, full of excitement at the thought of my new Action Man (don't ask) only to find I'd been given a Barbie. Gutted! Did you know there are several ways to take the head off a Barbie, without causing damage, so that it looks like she's faulty and needs to be taken back to the shop? Anyway, I digress........

So, this bar. Well, to start with it had an off white coating (remember that frozen fat on mince meat I mentioned the other day? Bingo!) which I'm guessing was a vague attempt at yogurt. But the inside was even more strange; no oats & certainly no fruit. I guess the only way to describe it is to say that it looked a bit like fudge but the texture wasn't quite right. Have you ever bitten into a slightly soggy oxo cube, preferably the vegetable one? No. Must just be me then. It was that kind of texture though with even more of a plasticine consistency.

Ok, texture I can live with & I'm sure I've probably had worse things in my mouth but then there was the taste. Well, maybe not the taste so much as the aftertaste. Fatty & disgusting. So I nibbled at the corners all day and managed to down the final bite just before I left work.

Have the nut bar to try tomorrow, wonder what that'll be like? Feel free to speculate.

Anyway, that was my day. Am going to settle down in front of the TV with a nice raspberry shake & watch Life On Mars.

Thoughts for today........................
None that I care to share as they are all far too obscene and I don't want to make you blush!
