Day 84: 279 lbs

I gained a pond yesterday. I followed all the Diet Commandments, except that I had to estimate dinner. We went out to a Chinese buffet (extremely dangerous diet territory!), and there's no way to accurately measure the calories. But I followed my strategy from before, which is to fill up on salad and hot-and-sour soup, then limit myself to no more than one plate from the buffet.

I was actually starting to feel full after just the soup and salad. Soup is wonderful that way, since it fills you up but isn't very caloric (except for cream-based soups, so stay away from those).

I ended the day having consumed exactly 1,500 calories, exactly on my quota.
