Just visualize this with me as I come to realize that cake made with cake-flour will not serve my diet, especially when eaten as a breakfast food.

I sit here. I write.

I peek at the cake in the corner of the room.

The cake peeks back at my corner of the room. We’re star-crossed.

We will upset both of our families if we start spending more time together.

“Wherefore art thou Romeo?”

One other thing I completely miss is pizza. I miss pizza so much right now, it feels like I am suffering through a major break up.

I changed my phone background to a picture of pizza, and I just can’t stop clicking the side button, looking at it.

If I can overcome pizza, I can overcome anything…I only wish I had the patience for cauliflower crust.

I have begun to realize that diets don’t happen without complete and total commitment and planning.

In order to make a big lifestyle change like this a success there has to be a deep and personal reason, a need to make a change.

My food-relationships are getting complicated lately, and now they come without benefits.

I’d better see the benefits of denying myself a wood-fire oven slice, and I’d better see them soon.
