I did say I should lose weight, and could manage that if I remembered to eat according to what my body burns. I had been eating slightly more than when I still had time to go to the gym 3 times a week, and that has been a horrible formula. and then...
Lost my appetite yesterday, and I’m not really sure why. Woke up with body pain, achy muscles and achy bones. Headed to the kitchen for breakfast and ditched my usual mug of barako coffee. Consumed only half of my half bowl of special K, and a small glass of apple juice. ate 1 skyflakes cracker at noon . Quarter of an apple at 6, and a cup of oatmeal at 10pm. Slept in between, as I nursed a fever and more body pain. No more fever and body pain today, but the appetite is still absent. same small glass of apple juice for breakfast. Cooked sausage and egg for the boys for lunch, but I only tried a small bite of each before realizing eating was a mistake. Had 2 marshmallows in the afternoon, a handful of root crop chips (hello sweet potato, purple yam etc.), and a cheeseburger for dinner. I did have a cup of tea after the chips as my headache told me I was having caffeine withdrawal, and plain tea would do the trick. yes, you read that, we went to mcdonald's for dinner. it what BBB calls "fine scottish dining."
It has all been interesting, this not having a desire to eat. My stomach usually takes the lead in telling me it is mealtime, but i have not been receiving signals lately. I could now really say that this idea of consuming food is all in my head. And it has been strangely liberating, not having to think of what to eat, or what I shouldn’t eat (being 35 and having zero exercise other than lifting a 2 year old). This is the diet/fasting period I always thought I could manage, that I only imagined but never put into action, as I am not a diet person. It did come with a fever, headache, body pain, and 1 day of zero action, so i really don't know what's going on.
Will talk to the scales when this is over.
