Day 6
Yesterday, I had had enough. I was fed up with eating so carefully and feeling so restricted. So I had a bowl of cereal (gasp!) and I had a salad with apples and a bite of sourdough bread ... I had an iced coffee - and it was all so divine... It had been 6 weeks since I had eaten carbs... and dairy. And it tasted so good. But last night, my belly was in knots. I had pain like I hadn't had in my belly ever before and today, I was sick, sick. I took Merus to school and came home and went right back to bed. I slept most of the day and there was this overwhelming sensation of "sick" hovering all around. I was weak, I felt acid reflux, I was constipated, but I felt like I had to go all the time. It was awful- the whole day and I regretted all the indulgences of the day before.
So I had a smoothie. I drank some water. I went for a walk and then tonight, I had salad and went back to my low carb life.
I am better this evening. I still feel sick - ... my hair is falling out too. But I guess I am doing better.
Nothing changes fast, I guess. Tomorrow, I am making tuna salad and chicken salad. This is exciting stuff over here.
