Unsocially Social

This last week and a half has been such a strange mix of miserable and unbelievably freeing! While I crave sugar like the boogie man craves small children, I have no desire to eat it again. I feel great! Well, mostly great. I still feel like crud, but I do have more energy now than I've had in months... and I'm attributing that all to the lack of unnatural sugars in my system. However, it was everything I could do to keep myself from buying a bag of dark chocolate caramels after work today. I literally drove by Dollar General drooling because I knew behind those doors a bag of Riesen chocolates had my name on it. Ah well. I survived.

I think Facebook has been the worst part of the last couple of weeks. While I am excited about the overwhelming freedom I have to not be so attached to status updates and spying on my friends, I have felt stupidly lonely. If I come to understand anything out of these 40 days, it'll be this: I am unsocially social. I miss my Facebook friends. Sometimes it feels like they are the only friends I have! Funny, they are real friends; but there's a difference between cyber friendship and the real thing. I feel secluded, but that's only by my own doing. I realize now how negligent I have been in regards to my real social life. This must be remedied.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the next 29 days teaches me! Right now feels just a little unstable; but I'm sure God has something great to teach me by day 40.

Until next time...
