flt, who reminded me that in fact I will need black turtlenecks for the Worlds. You go try finding a black turtleneck in England in the spring! Fortunately, I found a couple -- sort of dressier than I'd otherwise have chosen, but whatever. I will be uniform-compliant. I also bought (well, ordered, and they'll come in on Saturday -- they didn't have any the right length in the store) black pants -- I don't know, joggers, I guess, whatever, knit things I'd never otherwise have bought, but hey. The reason I mention it, though, is that trying them on, I could totally tell that I've been losing weight. Not tons, obviously, but enough that I could see it in the mirror, which, hi. I mean, I live with this body, don't I, so a change that I can notice? Yeah.
On a related subject, the past couple days I have been in a mad carb-craving place. I mean it's been insane. Bread and cookies and muffins, man. I'm not going out of control, it's just, I must have hit a -- it's not that I haven't been eating carbs, because mainly when I fix my own dinner I'm eating pasta or rice, you know? I don't know what, but it's been, like, MUST HAVE BREAD NOW NOW NOW. I think I can feel it calming down this evening, thank goodness. Because when the self says GIVE ME BREAD! and you say Here, you can have a glass of juice, sooner or later you get the idea that your metabolism is going to somehow become corporeal and throttle you.

Turtlenecks - yuck, I really hate 'em, but I now own 3 of 'em (well, mock turtlenecks, because I really can't stand the throttling of the normal ones).
So, one week!! Just one week from now!! Wow, makes my head spin (and the pile on my desk at work look HUGE).
