Yesterday the combination of three days of no real food and the start of my period resulted in a catastrophic meltdown. My girlfriend found me in the kitchen sobbing and laughing hysterically, completely unable to stop. She was very sweet about it, and gave me a hug, fed me lunch, and put me down for a nap. Some days you just need to be babied.
Today I woke up feeling great. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but so far it hasn’t. I actually feel good. You have no idea how odd that is. *I* had no idea how odd it was until I realized it was happening. I don’t think I realized how crappy I felt before.
Oh, and I found unsweetened Scharfenberger cocoa powder, which I am allowed to add to my shakes as it meets the criteria of sugar free, caffiene free, and fewer than X calories per serving. It was expensive, but god was it worth it. Really amazing chocolate flavor is exactly what their chocolate shakes needed.
I do hope the stress dreams about eating food I’m not supposed to end soon. Those are a little weird.
