Well at least the week is going quickly. The physical side effects haven't been as bad as I expected- no headaches or anything. I am getting a bit cranky though!
I've realised how dominant a role food plays in my life. I love the stuff! I love thinking about it, talking about it, cooking it, eating it, sharing it and reminiscing about it. I'd kill for a coffee. And a piece of cake. In fact anything that isn't watery soup, rice, or toast....
On a more positive note, my carbon footprint for the week will be smaller than usual. I'm only doing the $1.25/day challenge in a limited way (food and transport) so I'm still consuming water, electricity, and a whole bunch of other stuff, but I am consuming fewer resources than I normally would. I can see why the carbon footprint of people living in developing countries is so much lower than ours in the West. Do Australians still have the second biggest per capita emissions in the world (behind the US)? One of the many downsides of excessive affluence. Not that I'm advocating extreme poverty- there's not much joy in this!
Must go now- yukky rice pudding beckons....
