update

ignoring caitlin's emotional post (no, no pity at all),

day 5:

• realized i wasnt drinking enough water when i almost fainted in my kitchen (my roommate got really scared, handed me a banana and said "here! eat this!")

• generally, feeling okay - not too hungry, not too tired, not too happy, not too energetic.
  

• however, i AM feeling socially outcast. i cant go for coffee breaks. i cant go to lunch with my coworkers. i cant go out for drinks after work. i cant even eat the free tartine bread in my kitchen (ok, not a social activity, but just as painful to pass up)

• i would characterize this day as an empty and thoughtful day.
  

i'm considering breaking my fast tomorrow; most of my goals have been realized, and thus i lose motivation with every vile sip of smooth move. we'll see how i feel in the morning.
