Free Food Diet by Xena
July 21st, 2008 9:40 PMThus, 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.

First attempt at food. Big big failure
s7300308.jpg
This is where it cross my mind that there was an elementary school WITH POSSIBLE FOOD????
s7300325.jpg
There was a really little gate....This school has like NO SECURITY. Or hopefully no hidden cameras? I don't know what it is that I find so appealing in taking things away from children. I really don't know.
s7300327.jpg
I was really excited cause I hadn't eaten anything all day and I go STRAWBERRY patch....with no strawberries to be found....
s7300329.jpg
BELL PEPPERS. FINALLY. I grabbed like.... a lot of bell pepper. ALL OF THEM. Did I feel bad for taking food from a children's school? No. Because children don't eat their vegetables anyway.
s7300344.jpg
found some raspberries. I was too hungry to wash them. I probably should've washed them. Didn't pick any more raspberries cause THEY ARE A BITCH to pluck. I cut away with my scissors at the stems, but too many thorns. TOO MANY THORNS. Did I not emphasize enough???? TOOOOOO MAAAAANY PAIIIINFUL THOOOORNS
s7300351.jpg
Dropping lime....=(. Why one of my sisters found it amusing....I don't know. But she didn't realize I had scissors....
s7300355.jpg
On our way back from a pickings of bell peppers, 3 limes, and 1 lemon. I found a source that may have been edible at one point. That's right. Road kill

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.
Man. When I read the way he did his task.......for a month. AIY
That guy is a super free food hero.
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. =(
I vote for bell peppers and Angel! hurrah!
Stealing-from-children Vote!
plus I dig your fashion sense.
HAHA. I'm always stealing from children!
And I dig that you dig my fashion sense!
Lots of my love for you









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.
