The very beginning of my hunger strike is not going very well. I put coconut oil in my hair and was trying to peel the plastic seal off a new container with my teeth. There was some oil sticking to the other end of the plastic. I would estimate that ~2 calories worth of coconut oil entered my body, completely nullifying the entire journey to Washington DC that I spent 4 months planning. I have to start all over and the oil didn’t even taste good… smells great though.
I’ll choose to turn this negative situation into a positive one. I can look back on this bitter failure and it will motivate me to keep pushing forward until I can experience a sweeter victory. This was a pretty embarrassing stumble but I haven’t fallen down just yet.
