I have a cold...a very bad one that has moved into my chest. I am hacking and hackign and hacking. I sound like a 2 pack a day smoker that has been at it for 40 years! It's just terrible. And, worst of all, I cannot sleep at night because I cough ALL night. I almost never get sick, but when I do, I REALLY do.
Yes, I know I need to eat. I just really feel my energy is so drained, it's too much effort to pick up a fork. And, I cannot smell a thing, and that is about 90% of your perception of taste!
On the plus side, my friewnd who I haven't seen in four days, said today that she could tell I had lost weight. She says she can see it in my face. WOO HOO! Well, that sure gave me a boost.Now I want everyone to see it in my boobs, waist, hips, arms, legs.....shall I keep going? lol
I am trying to drink my water. My husband is such a doll...he keeps checking my water bottle to see how full it is. If he thinks I haven't had enough, he quietly hands it to me. And, if it's anywhere near empty, he goes and fills it and THEN hands it to me. The beautiful thing is that he is ALSO walking around with a water bottle! How can you not love a man who is this supportive and encouraging????
OK....one thing that made me feel like calling him a rat bastard... lol He has lost 2 kilos just not eating POTATO CHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I won;t let him bring them home tillI am skinny again. I don;t knopw why...I dont even LIKE them! lol So, he has lost half as much as me, DOING NOTHING! Skinny Dutch boys! lol
As for the carb thing, I suppose carbs can make you feel lots of ways. I ate corn the other night. I have been DYING for it for months...but it hasn't been avbailable till now (OF COURSE!!!). I decided one ear of corn was worth it. It's not a candy bar, it's a veggie. So, I did the deed....an hour later I felt so bloated and my stomach was so upset. I won;t do that again fora LONG time..no matter how sweet and delicious it is!
What else is new with you??? Do you have your ketosticks? I highly recommend them. It really helps give you perspective on how you are doing. And, you only need to use them every few days......
