Back to my palimpsest of recordings.

nuts and fruit
two tangerines
a vegetable stir fry with low fat creme fraiche and some cheese (200)
a 50g carrot cake (200)
a cube of terrys mint chocolate orange (20)
another 50g cake (250)
salmon and dill pesto (400)
another cake (250)

I think fruit nuts and tangerines will come to a hundred. Hence I have ate... 1400 calories. I went on a walk and later a free run, so it probably won't be as heinous as all that. I probably burned them off. I hope so. The real count is probably fifteen hundred.

Someone might like me; I think I might like him, but knowing ruins the fun of the chase. He teases me. My friend says he'd be a good boyfriend, and she has a similar taste in men. He is funny. And knowing he liked me, when he'd seen me without my makeup, was wonderful, he's got this broad smile... apparently he stays longer when I'm around. His name is alliterative. He is clever, I hope, maybe in a different way... he is better than my last dalliance, though I don't know why. I'll see how it goes.

I have recently been wearing a thin purple ribbon about my wrist. It loops three times over, with room to tie and leave an inch either side. This ribbon is exactly twenty five inches long. This is the size I want my waist to be. If I stretch and strain I can fit the ends together but I need them to loop and slack lax against each other. I have been wearing it as a reminder not to overeat, but it appears to bring only bad luck; I eat more when it encircles me. How very strange. This tactic used to work so well.
