13:18 I'm waiting for lunchtime at 13:30. I'm starving. Last night I went to bed without having dinner, and I left for yoga in the morning without having breakfast. The fast was possible only because I ate an entire rack of pork ribs and a large salad for lunch. Today I'm so hungry I may repeat the feat, this time eating an entire roasted chicken with a salad as the single meal of my day.
In the diet world this would be called the warrior's diet. My sister used to struggle with her weight until I have her this cheat code. I said to her: as children we were taught to tolerate hunger better than controlling our food intake, so you will find avoiding food easier than controlling it. Have a single meal per day, eat as much as you want, but limit yourself strictly to one meal", and she shed a lot of weight on it.

Writing this the next day: I went with V. to see a Chejov's The Cherry Orchard. We were slightly disappointed since we had both seen Chejov's plays before and we liked them a lot, but this was disappointing. I suspect it was the execution and not the literary piece since I had seen it about 20 years ago and I loved it. After that we grabbed dinner. I find my patience wearing thin with certain things, and that makes me dislike myself because I know they are not worth getting irked over. I'm on the other side of infatuation and I see how dates lingering for too long and an imbalance in invitations creates loopsided dynamics in which one person is uninvested and the other one overinvested. The thing that would re-balance this dynamic is that the overinvested person retreats abruptly, leaving the uninvested person to rebalance the relationship. These things won't work if they are agreed upon beforehand.
