7 days

At 11:00pm tonight, it will be 7 days since I've eaten.

I haven't been completely without nourishment, though.

I've mixed all kinds of juice with water throughout the week. I'd estimate I've consumed an average of about 300 to 400 calories each day and I'm thinking that's a high estimate.

I hadn't drank any full-strength juice until yesterday. Pam and I met some friends for dinner at Ham's and I ordered a V-8. It was a nice treat.

The energy I have is phenomenal. There are no highs and lows--just a very subdued calmness as I go throughout my day.

Walking is a very interesting experience. I'm guessing I've lost about 10 pounds. I won't weigh myself. Walking feels like I've literally put down a 10 pound weight I've been carrying. I almost feel like I'm going to float to the sky.

Nobody has mentioned my weight loss yet. My friends questioned my only drinking a V-8 at dinner last night and I told them I was detoxing a little bit.

I feel thinner but I'm nowhere near where I want to be. I've been heavy for so long that being thinner feels thin but there is no chart on earth that says I'm at my ideal weight.

I've always been one with a flair for the melodramatic and I guess I kinda want people to look at me and say "that guy is emaciated".

How many people even know what emaciated means? I dunno.

I'm not after the Christian Bale look from "The Machinist" but not far from it.
