When beast boy woke up he still had slightly puffy eyes. He remembered the night. The photos, the scale, the number. He got off his bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water. That would reduce the bloat on his eyes. He remembered what he said before drifting to sleep yesterday. The diet. He didn't even plan it. So unorganized.

'But it isn't that hard to plan a diet is it? I mean it's just eating healthier and less, practicing more and drinking more water, right?' He thought while drying his face on the green towel.

'Hmmm.. maybe I could have a meal plan? Or a calorie... what was it? De.. ficit? Yeah, something like that..' he then left the bathroom to go on his phone first and search. Maybe there that calorie deficit was an important point for his diet. He giggled when he found a BMR calculator. 'Wait, so there is BMI and BMR?' He got on the calculator and typed in what they needed. Height, weight, male or female and physical activities.

'1500 for a healthy diet' popped up. Beast boy looked away from the screen and was sceptical for while. 'Those diets, aren't fast enough, I see them everywhere..' he thought. He was afraid that maybe it wouldn't even work at all. And also he was inpatient so there's no way he would do those long, sometimes not even working, diets.

'Maybe I should.. I don't know.. cut the calories in half for a better diet, so.. 750.. hmmm better.. oh yeah then the diet will go way better.. maybe even less.. 600.. yes that is a nice number' he smiled. He was already unmotivated thinking about even planning the diet, but now he was fully motivated. Suddenly he heard a growl from his stomach pleading him to go get breakfast. 'Alright.. and maybe I could plan more.. yes, the meals.. I heard porridge is a good meal for diets. And some apple maybe. Tofu isn't really calorific is it? I don't know, I'll google later. As snacks I could have those rice cakes that are in our cupboards since.. a long time ago.. Oh and a lot of water.. I'll keep in track with that.. let me just get that app for calories.."

He looked at the apps and found one that looked trustable. Yazio. He smiled knowing his plan was almost done.

'Alright for the exercise, I will just do more and give more effort and also practice instead of playing on the game station from time to time.. oh wait and tea! Yes, I am a genius!' He then remembered a conversation he had with Raven.

"Why do you always even drink that? It smells like cyborgs socks... well if he had any.." the green shape shifter asked.

Raven only looked at him from her book took another sip and sighed. "Well, first of you must be lucky and thankful that there is tea and that I drink it since it calms me down and prevents me from throwing you out the window.. sometimes" she replied again sipping at her herbal tea. "Also, it's very healthy not to mention, it's good for basically anything in your body, it calms and also warms you and it can even make you lose weight, well green tee does, I heard lemons in it are good too, but you wouldn't really need it, would you?" She said having a savage smile placed and again sipping her tee. He only posted in response. "Well, tofu is also healthy, you should try it!' He crossed his arms on his chest and Raven started sipping her tee loudly. "What? I couldn't hear you." She said shortly after. He only smiled a bit at her humor.

'Ok, green tee, breakfast:porridge, lots of water and exercise and healthy small meals, got it!' Beast boy thought proudly, a smile building on his face. It was easy now that the plan was made. He used to not be a big eater and his willpower was stunning. When the goal was possible he would always go for it and make it happen.

After a while when he wrote his plan down his stomach cried out wanting him to eat something. So he went to the main room and was greeted.

"Hey B!" Cyborg. "Morning, beast boy." Robin. "Hello friend, how was your long rest?" Starfire. Raven only looked up.

After chatting a little he mad his way to the kitchen. First glass of the day. He pretty much downed that one. The he filled himself some oatmeal and soy milk and let it warm up in the microwave for bit. Robin looked at him a bit surprised.

"No sugary cereal today?" He asked sipping his coffee. Beast boy looked at him. "No." He gave a short answer.

"Oh, why not?" Robin eyed him further. Beast boy frowned at him a little. It was just some breakfast. Besides he was having something nice and healthy. "I.." he thought. Should he tell the truth? "I just didn't feel like it, I don't know." He answered cool.

Better be safe now, he knew how they would maybe react. He could tell them later. "Hmm.. ok?" Robin shrugged and then went on sipping on his coffee while watching TV.

Ding!

His porridge was ready. He just put a little honey on it to get some flavor in. He then grabbed a spoon and dug into the porridge. The porridge wasn't bad, not at all. Especially not because he put honey on it, so it would taste a little more sweet and still be healthy. He couldn't really imagine himself eating that every single day, but he didn't have to. Just for two weeks maybe then he can eat normally again since he would be skinny by then. After he finished his porridge he felt pretty full. He put the bowl and spoon away and filled another glass with water. He gulped it down again. After that he jumped onto the couch to also watch TV with the team.

Beast boy was in his room drinking his lemon water while googling more ways of getting skinny in a short amount of time.

He saw lots of K-pop diets and more. But he preferred his diet plan more. He saw lots of Advice and foods that were healthy, low- calorie and that were helping you lose weight. He then thought he would rather write it down somewhere. Like a journal.

So he grabbed his valley, earbuds and phone and went out for a walk but also to get a book for a journal. He ran for 30 minutes and then got to a shop to buy a new pen and a book. He chose a green pen and journal book that were matching. The colors were really pretty, they were pastel and a olive green with a white title: journal. And the pen had white dots. He bought those just in time because when he was back home and put his stuff away the alarm went off.

"It's plasmas, he's downtown! Titan's go!"

Surprisingly he didn't really feel weak when fighting even though he denied the icecream they bought and didn't have any snacks, so the water and the lemon water really helped. They all then wanted to go for pizza but beast boy denied. Again.

"What?! B you love pizza!" His friend, cyborg shouted confused. They all looked a little confused.

"Beast boy, are you sure you are okay?" Robin asked. Quick, think of a lie! By now he knew he couldn't go on a diet with them knowing. They wouldn't like that. "That's the problem! I feel kind of sick right now so pizza doesn't sound like a good idea, you guys know what I'm talking about, right? I wish I could though.. I'm just going to head back to the tower to sleep a little."

He lied. It was a pretty great lie. So they believed him looking less suspicious of him.

"Ok, make sure to rest nicely. Don't you want anyone to come with you?" Robin asked. He sure didn't want to come home with the sight of an extremely sick beast boy on the floor, but he trusts him. "No, I don't need a babysitter! Besides you guys shouldn't have to have your fun ruined just because I feel slightly sick." Beast boy reassured. Everyone smiled at him and his reasureance. "Ok, but are you sure, about your first statement?" Raven gave a savage roast as reply while beast boy could just pout and glare at her before flying off to the tower.

"Are you sure he's not going to.. I don't know.. hurt himself or destroy the tower?" Cyborg laughed. They all giggled getting in the car to get to the pizza place. "I don't about the tower one, but I wouldn't say he would hurt himself or collapse or something." He replied and they drove. When Beast boy first got to the tower he drank another 2 glasses of water.

Then he headed to his room where he wrote his plan, advices, good foods, other diets and the number. That scary ugly number.

He wrote his intake and how he felt today and even put a smiley sticker on there to describe how he felt today.

Then after a while he was bored and got up to exercise in the training room.

He followed workouts to get slimmer, did gymnastics and did some combat with the training dummies. He also tried some new battle tricks. He got on the treadmill. After a hour he slumped on the bench and drank the rest of his water which he measured and they were 2 glasses. He was still panting and sweating hard. He looked around the room and spot the dumbells. No.

They would only make him gain weight. He skipped rope and trained his new battle skills before hearing the titans come back.

He quickly took his water and his phone and left to his room.

"Man, BB should have been there!" Cyborg laughed. Beast boy then left his room and went to the main room to check what happened. "Oh, hey beast boy, how are you now?" Robin asked upon seeing him. Everyone turned to see him.

He was drenched in sweat. Atleast he wasn't panting anymore though. "Yeah, I'm fine now!" He smiled.

"Well, that's nice, but why are you cowered in sweat, B?" His metal friend asked.

'Shoot.. forgot to change..' Beast boy panicked for a second but acted cool then finding an excuse.

"Oh yeah, it was cold so I wrapped myself in the blankets like a buritto and ended up waking up with lots of sweat.. oops.."

He scratched his head thinking 'how many times did I lie today?' Well it didn't matter, it was only for the good.

Raven smiled at the thought of him wrapped like a buritto but the smile faded when she realized that she is with the titans.

"So, what did you guys do? It took a little longer today." Beast boy asked. Normally they wouldn't come after almost 2 hours.

"Yes, indeed friend, we wanted to leave the place with a small pizza of vegetarians since raven thought about you," raven blushed for a moment while looking away in embarrassment. "and we looked over, there was a thief! He was robbing the place of pizzas, so we stopped him and fought him and we were victorious!" She said excited but then lowered her "but the dough with vegetarian topics fell and unfortunately we didn't notice to buy one before getting in the car" She said.

'Luckily..' was the only thought beast boy had whilst. "Oh no, it's alright! But good job guys!". Beast boy smiled at them.

"I'm glad you're okay." Raven said randomly. Everyone stared at her. "What? Can I not be relieved that he is fine and that he didn't burn the tower?" Raven said anoyed. "You- you care about me?!" Beast boy said excited and jumped around.

"DUDE-" he started but got shut off by Ravens hand meeting his mouth. "Yes, of course I care, you idiot. And if you don't stop being all cheery about it I will stop doing that." She growled. Beast boy gulped in response. They laughed. Everybody laughed.

It was the evening and his first day was done perfectly. He practiced a lot even tried new attacks. He drank 8 glasses of water and had healthy and small meals that got up to 578 calories. Even his mood was nice. The interactions but still that satisfaction was missing. But he didn't need to worry about since he would soon get it again.

'If this goes on, it's going to be great! It was easy and I can't wait to get results tomorrow! But I need to think of more ways to avoid food in their presence.. I'll search it up.. And I'll think about it better as well..' he thought while drifting to sleep with one

strong thought that made him smile. 'Soon that satisfaction will come back..' And he fell asleep.
