weekend and work

[tielan]

Back to work for the new year. Ugh. Still not doing that much, although at least now I have things to read and go through and attempt to make work.

I felt better by Saturday night - actually, I felt better by Saturday morning. I'm absolutely spitting at not being able to attend the funeral on Friday, though: I'll never have as good a chance to reconnect with a bunch of people I lost touch with.

Anyway, Saturday was basically a day of feeling hungry, because I could eat stuff, but not really anything with fibre or protein, because those might trigger the stomach. I lay in bed all day and read because I was tired (not enough calories to give me energy), and I guess it was good for me? (she says, doubtfully)

Sunday, I felt good enough to go to a plum-picking session at a friend's house: picking plums, washing them, processing them (jam and sauce, I believe), and taking a jar of each and a plum or two home! I ate a lunch of bread and cheese and ham...and plum sauce! (It was so good. SO GOOD.)

Then I went to parentals to take down the Christmas tree. By the time I finished that, it was time for church.

I ended the day tired, but happy, and feeling okay.

Something I have noted today, however: I don't have as much room for food anymore. This is practically a travesty! One of my great loves - food - and I am no longer able to (over-)indulge in it!

This morning, I bought breakfast, because I forgot to take my muesli in. I ate half of it, and then was full. I had the other half for lunch, along with half a nectarine. For dinner, I had some leftovers, and even now I'm at the edge of 'uncomfortably full'. (But also, still "hungry", although for what I know not!)

*wipes away a tear* I'm going to miss my days of eating until I was absolutely stuffed. Also, I am desperately hoping my satiation signals haven't gotten screwed up by that bug. I know I've eaten enough for energy - proteins, carbs, fibres - the stuff that fills you. But my stomach wants 'something more', although exactly what I don't know. Sugar would be a bad idea (doesn't hit the satiation button) but nevertheless, I find myself wanting to reach for a roll of mentos. ARGH.

Anyway, early bed now.

Que bom que esteja melhor agora, triste que tenha perdido o funeral.

Seu estômago vai melhorar em breve, e daqui a pouco vai estar postando que comeu tanto que o botão da calça está querendo voar *risos* o que é muito bom quando a gente come bem.

Aqui no Brasil a gente chama essa vontade de comer algo que não tem nome de "comida de verdade" ou "coisa que dê sustância" porque são geralmente ou um prato completo com arroz, bife, feijão salgado e batata frita com salada de alface e tomate para acompanhar ou alguma comida um pouco mais substancial com carne gorda e caldo que faça a gente ficar forte (mais do que se fosse uma simples canja). Porque é isso que o corpo costuma pedir depois de ficar mal por tanto tempo, algo para repor as energias.

Eu costumo comer mingau de fubá ou de aveia, alguma carne vermelha mal passada, uma sopa de macarrão e legumes com alguma carne caldosa.

Adorei sobre a colheita de amora, as geleias e o mimo que levou para casa. Me fez lembrar da minha infância

I noticed myself needing less to eat over the past year plus I'm not liking a lot of the sweet treats like I use to.

So sorry hon. Hope you will be back to how you were before the bug hit. I know you like food and it sucks you can't indulge. I'm sure it will pass.

I feel worse when I eat too much as I get older. Don't know why, though.

Glad you had a good plum day. :)

I hate the feeling of being hungry but not knowing what you want to eat.

And I'm sorry about the funeral, too, that's hard to miss an opportunity like that to reconnect.
