update!

2 days ago i went to the grocery store and bought all the tuna I'd need for 3 days on the tuna and water diet. it turns out this is quite expensive, especially if you go for the Dave's tuna, but not from his website, where it's relatively cheap, but from the local gourmet grocery store, where everything is expensive but Dave's tuna causes the checkers to ask if they rang it up right because, after all, the can says "TUNA" and they've never seen anyone pay so much for a can of tuna.

anyhow, I rationalized that, even though 3 days of tuna would cost me nearly as much as a month on the V-diet, it was all for a good cause, and anyhow, whatever.

But then my imagination kicked in. I looked at the 5 cans of Dave's tuna, and visualized that as not only all I'd be eating on monday, but also, as all I'd be eating on monday. It wasn't just that it was not a lot of food. It was also: I don't really like tuna that much. So I'd be hungry and constipated on not much food that I don't like very much. Constipated? The diet calls for metamucil! But I like fruit, and beans, and those really do the job quite well.

So screw the tuna and water diet. I'll put it off for another 10 years. I'll keep my over priced line-caught santa cruz tuna packed in fairy dust, and I'll eat every last ounce of it, but over the span of a month or two, and I'll still meet my goal, but I'll get to poop beans and fruit instead of psyllium and sugar, as god intended.
