My increasingly annoying roommate moved out 2 weeks ago, and I had the apartment to myself at last... Then my brother came to stay with me and ended up staying for a week, so when he left yesterday I was relieved at first, now I could get back to my peaceful solitude. But I miss him. He's a funny guy, in more ways than I could hope to explain and he's become a great brother over the years (we'll remain blissfully ignorant of the childhood years!). Over the last week he was a great friend too.
Let me put this in one simple sentence: I lost a pound in the last week.
I wasn't really trying to lose weight. Not in a conscious sense.. Of course it helped that he was trying varying degrees of Carb-elimination, and was not encouraging any junk food consumption, as most of my friends are likely to do. But I didn't notice their absence.
I didn't crave comfort food.
I felt comforted.
I am only noticing this now since he has left. As I sit down at my desk with a sugar-laden Cappuccino, and feel the familiar cravings setting in, I notice their return, and in doing so I notice their absence.

Laughter is a great calorie burner.
Chris.. you read my blog... *blushes and hides*
It certainly is. And my brother is f*cking hilarious. I'll have to dedicate a post to him, just to try and get across the eccentricity of his character.
Just came by to say hi and see your blog. My first international trip was to Ireland! I really liked the country and the people. Learned not to ask directions, however :-)
Very beautifully written. I loved this:
"I didn't crave comfort food.
I felt comforted. "
So true! I miss my brother too:)
