3weeks and 15days in may - revolution - too tired

It's nearly 3 weeks now on the diet that so many have no choice but to survive on. I do have a choice and the desire to eat some decent food is becoming overwhelming. Over the last 7 days I have monitored my weight and I have lost 7lbs or 1/2 a stone. Concentration has become extremely hard and I am even struggling to spell correctly. I can normally type really fast and not even think about how to spell as it just flows naturally so I am certain that the decline is accelerating. Memory is causing me some trouble as well and sleep is aggravated by hunger which disrupts my sleep pattern more than normal. I am also finding it really difficult to carry out my normal routine of weight training, repetitions of 10 x 5 have been reduced to 8 x 3 as a short term measure rather than dropping the actual load. The fact that is happening is an obvious indication that energy and strength is in decline. I am also developing a sore throat today which I can feel slowly descending like syrup towards my stomach which is agony at times even with bread and water as intake. I am not sure when to stop this but I think that point is drawing closer by the hour. I have no idea how people can survive going through this kind of thing long-term but I do know this. If I lived in a nation where this kind of diet is the normal way of life, I do not think I would be able to fight in a revolution for change. I would not have the motivation to stand up against a government or their militias in retaliation, I would simply be too weak to travel far to confront them and too weak to force a challenge. I have seen images in the media of hungry children covered in flies motionless on the ground seeking refuge in the shade and I am beginning to understand why. I wondered as a child why they did not brush the flies away and why they did not fight their leaders and challenge authority. The answer is becoming apparent. It's because they don't have the energy to swipe flies every 3 seconds let alone fight a revolution.

this isn't m&s - this is a hell of a mess
