I have a few takeaways from today, but otherwise this is going to be a short post. It's not that I don't have a lot to say, but that I found someone who said it perfectly for me! So without further ado, here's what day 16 was like:
1. I feel great today. I have lots of energy and my mind feels alert, even though I didn't get the most sleep last night.
2. My fruit breakfast finally filled me up. Either I was too busy working to feel hungry or I ate more. Or maybe my body is getting used to only having fruit for breakfast.
3. I didn't really have too many cravings today. The ones I did have were mostly for coffee.
4. I still can't help myself around the fruit/nut mix at the office. If only I didn't have to walk through the kitchen every time I needed to use the restroom!
And a few food pictures for today:

I am still really struggling with the idea of not allowing yourself to eat certain foods. I mean, I understand the thought behind it. For me, a taste of something turns into eating the entire thing, so it's better to just not have it, right?
Well, I was checking my email today and happened to run into this story: http://greatist.com/fitness/six-pack-abs-six-weeks-one-year-later
I had read his story about getting a six pack in six weeks a while back (yes, it can be done!). He recently followed up on his original story - hence the link above. He articulates what I couldn't a few days ago...mainly, is it worth it? And what happens to your thinking/relationship with food when you deprive yourself? We all know it's good to eat healthy, but where does the line between deprivation and health lie? Can you be healthy without feeling like you are being deprived?
Food for thought...literally!
