Free Food Diet by Xena

July 21st, 2008 9:40 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Survive for a day eating only free food.

Although, I personally try to stick to S.N.I.D.E. tasks ands ways of doing them. However, I have been on this website and participating, for my Qualitative research, and I have yet to accomplish a personally challenging task.
Thus, I will be documenting every hour for the next 24 hours (except for the hours I sleep), with what I eat, how I eat, and so forth. However, I will drink water....I don't know if this is against the rules, but I'm not sure fainting from the heat is such a good idea. =)
Okay, finished the task, below is a written blog and attached are the adventures and documentation of how I retrieved what I ate and my attempts of doing so.

UPDATE: Two of my videos won't upload. One consists of me and my sisters escaping from the school because there were people coming (from the parking lot). The second, was a tour of the gardenish. Hopefully, I'll get them up at some point.

12:31 AM
The last thing I eat....A brownie I took with me from Souplantation 3 hours ago. Here we go....Wish me luck.
1:34 AM
So what really sucks about being a night person, is that I'm awake very late and this tends to be the time that I "binge." That's right, what I would normally do is stock up on sugar, ice cream, sweets, Starbucks, etc.
2:33 AM
So I spent the last hour still doing my research. And....planning where the hell, how the hell I'm going to find free food without going too far, and spending just a short amount of time getting it.....for I have a lot of work to do today. AND I'M REALLY HATING MYSELF. FOR I JUST SPENT ALL DAY YESTERDAY GROCERY SHOPPING. KILL ME.
3:21 AM
Finally done with the amount of research for today. I am about to print some notes for my midterm on Tuesday. The ache of not eating cake in my fridge is very very very slowly getting over with. Trying to keep my mind off of it with some episodes of Angel (the spin off of Buffy). ....need....cake.
OOO and I figured out how to find free food (I think), will tell later.
4:21 AM
Hmm. Printed out my notes, and kept thinking about cake....really good cake...oiy the insanity.
It's either the deprivation of cake or the deprivation of sleep affecting my judgement.
Yep, definitely the deprivation of cake.
4:52 AM
Ok, if I stay up any longer, I'm going to fail this task.
Off to beddy. =(
12:06 PM
I woke up. Feeling Alrrrrrrrrrrright.
1:51 PM
Still haven't eaten. I went to the fridge...And noticed someone ate the cake. But resisting temptations was HARD. I can't afford to open the fridge anymore. I plan on doing some work to get my mind off food, until I see if I can commence with plans to find food.
2:37 pm
So getting kinda hungryish now. Been spending the past few minutes trying to figure out how to find food. And I just remembered that an old lady in the neighborhood has a garden...I'll probably go there... =)
3:34 PM
Did some more studying for this gross midterm. Waiting for camera to finish uploading so that I can freaking scour for food and record it.
4:24 PM
STILL waiting on the camera. SUPER SUPER SUPER HUNGRY. GAH
6:30 PM
Back from food hunting. See videos. GAH
7:00 PM
FINALLY PUTTING FOOD IN MY MOUTH.
8:00 PM
SUPER SICK. Too many bell peppers…..Eating my second free lollipop form Ralph’s (originally had four).
8:26 PM
GOD CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS TO BE OVER 4 MORE HOURS
8:35 PM
Tummy is growling again. Time to bust out some bell peppers
9:30 PM
Got my mind off of food by collaborating the potted plant task.
10:48 PM
Took a shower. And starved. Found celebratory chocolate for when the time is near!
11:14 PM
Eating another free lollipop. UUGH TIME MOVES SO SLOWLY
12:24 PM
Just waiting…..WAITING…..GAH. GOING CRAZY. 6 MORE MINUTES.
12:41 PM
FINISHED MY CELEBRATORY CHOCOLATE. LOL. THANK GOD

OKAY. This was a very difficult task for me. I have no idea how the hell Lincoln did this for a month. BIG kudos to him. Maybe, it's because I'm too "stubborn" and "independent" to ask food from my friends and people [/sarcasm.] Anyways I learned two very important lessons.

A) The elementary school garden near my house SUCKS (although maybe it was karma that there was barely anything growing).
B) The old lady has a dog I must be aware of (although maybe her dog tearing my dress was also karma for breaking into her backyard).

OIY. Either way. This task is done, and I'm stuffing my face with food.

Costco

O yea,..... and it didn't occur to me til AFTER I finished the task that I could've gone to Costco for free food. I've been kicking myself, ever since I have come about with this revelation. SHOOT ME.

How do you finesse free food at the Costco?

SAMPLES!

ENDLESS AND ENDLESS ROUNDS OF FREE SAMPLES.

Here's what I should've done.
Put stuff in a cart, pretend I'm buying stuff. Go around eat all the free samples, wait five minutes-10 minutes. GO for another round. Pretend you're interested in the product. Put it in your cart, ask for more free samples. Then, when you're good and full..... put all the freezer stuff in a freezer (no one should see you of course), leave the rest in your cart, and be on your way.


WAYYYYY BETTER THAN eating stolen bell peppers.

Instead you toughed it out with bell peppers and lollipops.

Most of us don't understand how Lincoln does some of the things he does.

O yea.
His really inspired me. How the hell he had all that knowledge of the random food!
I bet I walked past many edible greens ignorantly, not knowing they could be eaten. =(
