A pattern has emerged—I’m no longer as hungry as I was in the first 2-3 weeks, but I have episodes of cravings. Yes, you read that right—episodes, sudden bursts of emotion. I know I’m not truly hungry; it’s all about junk food. I’ve noticed this always happens when I’m close to losing more weight. I often fail to control these cravings for more than two days, which slows down my overall progress. I’ve also realized I’m getting irritated by things that usually wouldn’t bother me. I feel like I’m turning into a fussy old man. Hopefully, this phase won’t last.
I’m planning to take a sleeping pill. There’s no sign of sleep in my eyes. It’s 11:00 PM, and I’m feeling wide awake.
