• Ideal Weight: Day 13 and 14

  Let’s say it is because of the rice and beans—I don’t know, because I haven’t weighed myself since around Christmas—but I now weigh my ideal weight. (Like all girls,) I will have that “just 5 more pounds” thought, but I am very happy. I haven’t weighed this since before puberty and the inherited grand bosom appeared in my life.

  Day 14

  I can’t believe I am not even half way through this. I can’t even remember life before rice and beans. Everyone looked half dead in English class today, and the other half was grumpy. And those half dead/grumpy stares always rile my feathers and bring my “These kids don’t know nuttin” out.

  I explained about 1.4 billion people on $1.25 a day to well-off 8^th and 9^th graders. They opened their eyes a little wider. I explained about my rice and beans experiment and said, “I can’t very well say this is something I am passionate about and then not let it affect my day-to-day life.” And then we learned more about English Grammar. I just…have to let it loose sometimes.

  The bean pizza I made would have been better if I actually had regular crust. I made a wheat flour flatbread instead, and while good (anything with cheese is good), it wasn’t very pizza-ish: bean hummus, vegetables, and cheese all gooey together on top.
