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.
