Well I'm really pleased that's over and done with, although it sort of got easier as the week went on. Thanks so much to all my wonderful supporters- we've raised $1600 to go into the Umoja land fund. Keep an eye on the Umoja website over the next few months if you're interested in how things progress. Of course I'm looking forward to continuing to do what I can to support the centre and the wonderful students.
I did try to be restrained over the weekend, but only partially succeeded. I discovered Saturday morning, when I tried to get a large cooked breakfast down, that my stomach had shrunk! It's now Sunday evening and I think I've done a pretty good job of stretching it again. I did come the the realisation during my week of deprivation that I eat way more than I need to and treat myself far to often, just for the sheer pleasure of it. I had hoped not to go back to being a glutton. But while I can manage a week of self-restraint for a worthy cause, I'm not convinced I've got what it takes to keep being disciplined, even on much lower scale, over the longer term.
