Leek Soup Body Cleanse: The Aftermath
You know how sometimes you’ll have a really hectic day at work and you hardly get to eat, then as soon as you walk through the door you’re so hungry that you shove a billion crappy things into your mouth at once?
Well, that’s what happened when I broke my fast after the Leek Soup Body Cleanse. It all started off quite innocently at 3pm or so, when I bought some cucumber sushi rolls with brown rice. I figured that was a nice, zen-like healthy way to ease back into food. But from there, it escalated into a full-blown binge:
3:15 pm cucumber sushi rolls with brown rice
3:24 pm partially stale hunk of gruyere cheese that I found in the fridge
3:30 pm 2 pieces of ciabatta bread smeared with marscapone cheese and sprinkled with cocoa powder
4:00 pm Burmese fish soup (mohinga) that I found in a takeout container in the fridge
4:30 pm more bread with marscapone and cocoa
Brief hiatus caused from stomach upset. But the hunger is like fire—it just keeps spreading. The more I eat, the hungrier I get.
5:15 pm several squares of swiss chocolate with hazelnuts
7:30 pm my dear friend ABS arrives to hang out and order some takeout. By the time he arrives I am so hungry I could eat my coffee table. He takes so long choosing what to order that I say, “If you don’t hurry up and figure this out soon, I’m going to chew my fucking arm off,” which makes him laugh hysterically.
8:00 pm the food arrives—Chinese take out. I ordered the steamed tofu and broccoli w/ brown rice and a small hot and sour soup. I wolf down the soup but am disinterested in my tofu and broccoli—instead, I have begun to lust after ABS’s spicy peanut noodles.
8:30 pm ABS is only picking at his noodles and I struggle with myself not to ask if I can have some. Instead, I begin eating the complimentary crispy noodles that came with our meals.
9:30 pm ABS leaves and I realize he has left behind his unfinished noodles.
9:35 pm after debating whether or not to call ABS and tell him he forgot his noodles, I decide screw it, and I eat the noodles.
10:00 pm I eat two fortune cookies before brushin my teeth and going to bed.
So, in 7 short hours, I undid all of my hard work. Brilliant.
Today, my stomach is a little upset. But at least I’m not ravenously hungry. I do have to poop, which is good news. The bad news is that because I have office pooping paranoia, I will have to wait until I get home to do my business, and by then I may have lost my window entirely.

Hahaha, so hillarious... Had some friends try that leek thing too. I think they had better luck though. Glad you found your sweater too!
